Mon, Sep 15, 2025, 8:20 AM
Tovar went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored Sunday against the Padres.
Analysis: Tovar entered Sunday's game hitless in his last six starts -- all of which came on the road -- while also striking out 12 times across 19 at-bats in that span. He ended that stretch with a single in the sixth inning and then delivered an RBI double one frame later. Tovar is still hitting .250 since Sept. 1 and now has three RBI and five runs scored with a stolen base in that 13-game span. |

Mickey Moniak Mickey Moniak Starring role in loss
Sun, Sep 14, 2025, 6:47 PM
Moniak went 4-for-4 with two home runs, five RBI and two stolen bases in Sunday's 9-6 loss to the Padres.
Analysis: Despite the poor result for the Rockies, Moniak had one of his best games of the year. The outfielder lifted a solo shot in the fourth inning and a three-run blast in the sixth before adding an RBI single in the seventh. Moniak has gone 13-for-41 (.317) with three homers and three steals over 13 games in September. The 27-year-old is at a .268/.306/.509 slash line with 21 long balls, 62 RBI, 56 runs scored and nine steals over 126 games this year, with all of those counting stats representing career highs. |

German Marquez German Marquez Chased early Sunday
Sun, Sep 14, 2025, 6:43 PM
Marquez (3-14) allowed seven runs (six earned) on nine hits and two walks while failing to record a strikeout over 2.1 innings, taking the loss Sunday versus the Padres.
Analysis: Marquez's last two starts have come on the road, but he's allowed a combined 12 runs (11 earned) over 7.1 innings in those games. The right-hander gave up three runs in each of the first two frames and continued to labor before Roansy Contreras relieved him in the third. On the year, Marquez has an awful 6.65 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 77:44 K:BB through 115 innings over 24 starts. He's tentatively projected for a home start versus the Angels in his next outing. |

Beck is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.
Analysis: He'll head to the bench for the first time since Sept. 2, ending a streak of 10 consecutive starts during which he hit .308 with one home run, three steals, seven RBI and five runs. With Beck taking a seat, the Rockies will have a spot in the outfield available for Yanquiel Fernandez, who will cover right field and bat sixth. |

Ryan Ritter Ryan Ritter Back in action Sunday
Sun, Sep 14, 2025, 2:57 PM
Ritter (undisclosed) will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Padres.
Analysis: Ritter was held out of the lineup for each of the previous five games due to an unspecified issue, though he was able to make an appearance off the bench in Saturday's 11-3 loss. He reached base in his lone plate appearance when he was hit by a pitch, but he was able to stay in the game and is now ready to reclaim a starting role in the series finale. |

Blaine Crim Blaine Crim Knocks in two
Sun, Sep 14, 2025, 7:59 AM
Crim went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI on Saturday against the Padres.
Analysis: Crim has started consecutive games at first base due to Warming Bernabel (concussion) being sidelined and Michael Toglia demoted. Crim has made the most of his chances, knocking in five with a double and a home run across his two starts. He has hit sixth and fifth in the order and looks likely to get regular at-bats until Bernabel can return. |

Analysis: Beck has logged five multi-hit efforts over 12 games in September. He's batting .318 (14-for-44) so far this month, and he's added seven RBI and three steals.

Sat, Sep 13, 2025, 11:08 PM
Freeman went 3-for-5 with two doubles and two runs scored in Saturday's 11-3 loss to the Padres.
Analysis: Freeman had gone just 3-for-32 (.094) over his previous eight games before Saturday's productive performance. The light-hitting outfielder has been decent this season with two home runs, 19 doubles, two triples, 29 RBI, 46 runs scored, 17 stolen bases and a .281/.354/.364 slash line over 104 contests. He has split much of his recent playing time between right field and second base. |

Bradley Blalock Bradley Blalock Unimpressive in loss
Sat, Sep 13, 2025, 11:05 PM
Blalock (1-5) allowed five runs on five hits and two walks without recording a strikeout over three innings to take the loss versus the Padres on Saturday.
Analysis: Blalock continues to look outmatched at the major-league level, but he may get a chance to stay with the big club while Chase Dollander (knee) is on the injured list. Blalock had gone nearly a month between appearances in the majors, but he's now allowed at least five runs in each of his last four outings. He's at a 9.00 ERA, 1.82 WHIP and 22:20 K:BB through 50 innings over 12 appearances (10 starts) for the Rockies this year. He is tentatively projected for a home start versus the Angels next week. |

Ryan Ritter Ryan Ritter Out again Saturday
Sat, Sep 13, 2025, 4:50 PM
Ritter (undisclosed) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Analysis: The Rockies haven't disclosed any information about Ritter's injury, but Saturday will mark the fifth consecutive contest he's missed because of it. Orlando Arcia will start at second and bat ninth against right-hander Dylan Cease; meanwhile, Ritter may be ticketed for a trip to the IL if he doesn't return soon. |

Chase Dollander Chase Dollander Officially placed on IL
Sat, Sep 13, 2025, 4:29 PM
The Rockies placed Dollander on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a patella tendon strain in his left knee.
Analysis: Dollander will be eligible to return from the injured list to start one of the Rockies' final games of the season, but the more likely outcome is that Colorado keeps him on the shelf for the rest of the year. If that ends up being the case, he would finish his rookie campaign with a 6.52 ERA and 1.55 WHIP and an 82:49 K:BB through 98 innings across 21 starts. Bradley Blalock was recalled from Triple-A to round out Colorado's rotation. |

Bradley Blalock Bradley Blalock Recalled ahead of start
Sat, Sep 13, 2025, 4:25 PM
The Rockies recalled Blalock from Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday.
Analysis: The 24-year-old righty will fill the open spot in Colorado's rotation created by Chase Dollander's (knee) move to the IL. Blalock has accumulated an 8.62 ERA and 1.79 WHIP through 47 MLB innings this season and will face a Padres offense that put up 12 runs against him on May 10, so fantasy managers searching for streaming options are likely better off looking elsewhere. |

Ryan Feltner Ryan Feltner Shut down at Triple-A
Sat, Sep 13, 2025, 9:22 AM
Triple-A Albuquerque placed Feltner on its 7-day injured list July 30 due to right shoulder inflammation, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Feltner produced a serviceable 4.49 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across 30 starts with the Rockies in 2024, but he's been limited to just six starts with the big club in 2025 after a back issue kept him on the shelf for all of May and June before he was optioned to Triple-A on July 4 at the conclusion of his rehab assignment. He had continued to pitch out of the Albuquerque rotation following his activation, but after walking nine batters in just 3.2 innings in a July 24, Feltner was shut down again with a new injury. The Rockies haven't indicated where Feltner currently stands in his recovery from the shoulder issue, but with just eight games left on Albuquerque's schedule, the 29-year-old righty is most likely done for the season. |

Victor Vodnik Victor Vodnik Hangs on for eighth save
Fri, Sep 12, 2025, 11:22 PM
Vodnik earned the save Friday against the Padres, allowing one run on two hits and one walk in the ninth inning. He struck out one.
Analysis: Vodnik's scoreless streak was stopped at 11 appearances, but he survived to secure his eighth save of the season. With Seth Halvorsen (elbow) still on the injured list, Vodnik figures to continue splitting ninth-inning duties with Juan Mejia going forward. Through 46.1 innings, Vodnik holds a 3.11 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 45:23 K:BB while converting eight of his 12 save chances. |

Tanner Gordon Tanner Gordon Fans nine in six excellent frames
Fri, Sep 12, 2025, 11:13 PM
Gordon (6-6) recorded the win Friday against the Padres, allowing one run on two hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out nine.
Analysis: The 27-year-old left-hander tied a season high in strikeouts, tossing at least six frames for the seventh time out of 13 outings this year as well. Since seeing his ERA balloon to 8.37 following a disastrous Aug. 10 start in Arizona, when he was obliterated for 10 earned runs, Gordon has managed to throw six innings while yielding two runs or fewer in four of his last six appearances to enhance his ERA to 6.14 for the season. He'll carry a 1.50WHIP and 55:16 K:BB over 66 frames into a scheduled start versus Miami his next time out. |

Bradley Blalock Bradley Blalock Starting Saturday
Fri, Sep 12, 2025, 9:17 PM
The Rockies will recall Blalock from Triple-A Albuquerque to start Saturday's game against the Padres, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Blalock owns an unsightly 8.62 ERA and 1.79 WHIP through 47 innings with the Rockies this season and hasn't been much better in Triple-A, accumulating a 9.37 ERA in 16.1 frames since being optioned to Albuquerque in mid-August. Despite his poor performance, he'll come up from the minors to fill the opening in Colorado's rotation left by Chase Dollander's (knee) impending move to the injured list. Blalock will be welcomed back to the big leagues by a Padres squad he allowed to score 12 runs in just 3.2 innings on May 10. |

Ryan Ritter Ryan Ritter Sitting fourth straight
Fri, Sep 12, 2025, 8:12 PM
Ritter isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against San Diego.
Analysis: Friday will mark the fourth straight start Ritter has missed while he continues to battle an undisclosed issue. His absence will give Orlando Arcia a start at second base against southpaw JP Sears. |
