Ryan Feltner Ryan Feltner Notches fifth win
Wed, Aug 12, 2026, 6:17 PM
Feltner (5-6) earned the win Wednesday over the Diamondbacks, allowing two runs on seven hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out two.
Analysis: Feltner managed to work out of trouble for most of the outing, holding Arizona to a run in the first inning before giving up a second on a Gabriel Moreno two-out double in the fifth. It's a step in the right direction for the 29-year-old Feltner, who'd struggled to a 9.39 ERA over 23 innings in his previous five starts. Overall, the right-hander sports a 5.59 ERA with a 1.48 WHIP and 61:36 K:BB across 18 starts (87 innings) this season. Feltner is currently lined up to face the Dodgers at home his next time out. |

Jordan Beck Jordan Beck Back on bench Wednesday
Wed, Aug 12, 2026, 1:51 PM
Beck is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Analysis: Since being called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on Aug. 3, Beck has started in five of the Rockies' ensuing nine games while going 5-for-18 with three extra-base hits, one walk and one run. The Rockies could use Beck primarily against left-handed pitching moving forward, as the left-handed-hitting Zac Veen could be in line to get an extended look against righties after being promoted from Triple-A on Tuesday. |

Ezequiel Tovar Ezequiel Tovar Taking seat Wednesday
Wed, Aug 12, 2026, 1:46 PM
Tovar is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Analysis: Tovar will sit for the second time in the series while the Rockies go with Cole Carrigg at shortstop in the finale. Though he's posted a career-worst .580 OPS over 404 plate appearances on the season, Tovar has heated up a bit in August, slashing .310/.344/.448 through his first nine contests of the month. |

Adael Amador Adael Amador Summoned to majors
Wed, Aug 12, 2026, 1:18 PM
The Rockies recalled Amador from Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.
Analysis: Amador is in the midst of his third season as a member of the Rockies' 40-man roster, but he had been playing exclusively at Triple-A in 2026 until receiving a call-up Wednesday. The 23-year-old recorded 11 home runs and 11 steals while slashing .261/.370/.432 in 393 plate appearances for Albuquerque, though that still made him a below-league-average producer with a 94 wRC+ in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League. While Amador has been used solely at second base during his time in the majors over the previous two seasons, he's also dabbled at shortstop and left field at Albuquerque in 2026. |

Jose Quintana Jose Quintana Set for another bullpen session
Wed, Aug 12, 2026, 1:13 PM
Quintana (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Wednesday, MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Quintana most recently tossed a 23-pitch bullpen session Sunday that consisted of all fastballs and changeups. The veteran southpaw -- who has been on the shelf since May 25 due to an elbow sprain -- could soon be cleared to face hitters and appears to be tracking toward a return to the Rockies' active roster in late August or early September. |

Jeff Criswell Jeff Criswell Activated, optioned to Triple-A
Wed, Aug 12, 2026, 1:09 PM
The Rockies reinstated Criswell (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday and optioned him to Triple-A Albuquerque.
Analysis: Colorado placed Criswell on the IL shortly after he sustained a right shoulder strain following his first appearance coming out of the All-Star break, but he made a relatively quick recovery. He tossed a scoreless inning in his lone rehab appearance with Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday and will wind up sticking around with the affiliate, as the Rockies didn't have room for him in the big-league bullpen. |

Kyle Karros Kyle Karros Shut down due to concussion
Wed, Aug 12, 2026, 12:54 PM
The Rockies placed Karros on the 7-day injured list Wednesday due to a concussion.
Analysis: Karros hit a game-tying two-run home run in the top of the sixth inning of Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks, and then left the game in the bottom half of the frame after colliding in the field with teammate Ezequiel Tovar while both were pursuing a grounder. Per David Brandt of the Associated Press, Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer said after the game that Karros entered concussion protocol. With that, Karros will be held out of action for the next week, which likely clears the way for Willi Castro to serve as the Rockies' primary third baseman in the interim. |

Wed, Aug 12, 2026, 9:09 AM
Criswell (shoulder) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday, pitching around a hit and a walk to log a scoreless frame.
Analysis: Criswell landed on the 15-day injured list nearly a month ago with a right shoulder strain. He could require another rehab outing or two before rejoining the Rockies' bullpen. |

Edouard Julien Edouard Julien DFA'd by Rockies
Tue, Aug 11, 2026, 3:42 PM
Colorado designated Julien for assignment on Tuesday, per Kyle Newman of The Denver Post.
Analysis: With Julien slowly losing out on playing time, the Rockies decided to DFA the 27-year-old. The left-handed-hitting Julien batted just .208/.322/.292 with three home runs and 20 RBI in 276 plate appearances this season. The Rockies recalled Zac Veen on Tuesday to replace Julien on the active roster. |

Zac Veen Zac Veen Called up to Colorado
Tue, Aug 11, 2026, 3:37 PM
The Rockies recalled Veen from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.
Analysis: This is Veen's first stint of 2026 with the big-league club after he logged 37 plate appearances with the Rockies last season. The 24-year-old has slashed .327/.402/.635 with 24 home runs, 87 RBI and 19 stolen bases in 445 plate appearances with Albuquerque. The Rockies designated Edouard Julien to make room for Veen on the 26-man roster. |

Connor Norby Connor Norby Recalled by Colorado
Mon, Aug 10, 2026, 6:03 PM
The Rockies recalled Norby from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.
Analysis: The move corresponds with the Rockies placing Tyler Freeman (back) on the 10-day injured list. Norby appeared in 65 games for the Marlins and slashed .203/.313/.325 with six steals, four homers and 16 RBI over 233 plate appearances before being traded to the Rockies on Monday, Aug. 3. Norby gives Colorado some additional depth at both first and third base. |

Tyler Freeman Tyler Freeman Placed on 10-day IL
Mon, Aug 10, 2026, 5:59 PM
The Rockies placed Freeman on the 10-day injured list Monday due to lumbar pain, retroactive to Sunday.
Analysis: It's the second time this season that Freeman will spend time on the IL due to a back issue. The earliest he can return is Aug. 19, but he'll undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury and attempt to establish a clearer recovery timeline. Connor Norby was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move. |

Ezequiel Tovar Ezequiel Tovar Idle for series opener Monday
Mon, Aug 10, 2026, 4:41 PM
Tovar is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Analysis: Cole Carrigg will draw the start at shortstop while Tovar retreats to the bench for the Rockies' series opener in Arizona. Tovar had started in each of the last seven games, going 8-for-24 with one home run, one double, two walks, five runs and three RBI. |

Michael Lorenzen Michael Lorenzen Takes no-decision vs. Cardinals
Sun, Aug 9, 2026, 10:48 PM
Lorenzen did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Cardinals, allowing four runs (two earned) on eight hits and three walks while striking out one over 4.1 innings.
Analysis: Lorenzen struggled with traffic throughout the afternoon and was fortunate to escape with only four runs charged to him, two of which were earned. The veteran right-hander has now surrendered at least seven hits in four consecutive starts while failing to complete five innings in any of them. It's been a brutal season overall for Lorenzen, who owns a 6.83 ERA, 1.87 WHIP and 81:46 K:BB across 112 innings. He's slated to make his next start on the road against the Giants. |

Troy Johnston Troy Johnston Losing out on playing time
Sun, Aug 9, 2026, 1:35 PM
Johnston is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Analysis: The left-handed hitter will be on the bench for the fourth time in five games and has missed out on three starts versus righties during that stretch. With Johnston producing a middling .421 OPS since the All-Star break, the Rockies have opted to rotate a number of players in and out of the lineup in his place. |

Jaden Hill Jaden Hill Completes bullpen session
Sun, Aug 9, 2026, 9:13 AM
Hill (shoulder) completed a bullpen session Saturday, MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Hill has been ramping up his activity the last few weeks, and his session Saturday reportedly went according to plan. The right-hander has been sidelined since June 20 due to shoulder tendinitis. |

Kyle Karros Kyle Karros Swipes two bags
Sun, Aug 9, 2026, 8:53 AM
Karros went 0-for-2 with a walk, an RBI and two stolen bases Saturday against the Cardinals.
Analysis: It wasn't a typical performance for Karros, but he was productive nonetheless. He reached base in the first and third innings and stole second base on each occasion, and he later lifted a sacrifice fly to provide an insurance run in the ninth frame. Karros has continued his strong season since the All-Star break, hitting .294 with eight RBI and 10 runs scored across 16 contests. |

Jordan Romano Jordan Romano Picks up save No. 10
Sat, Aug 8, 2026, 11:04 PM
Romano allowed one run on two hits while striking out one batter over one inning against the Cardinals on Saturday to notch a save.
Analysis: Romano got the call from the bullpen in the ninth inning with the Rockies up three runs. He needed the cushion, as the veteran reliever allowed a pair of singles to give up a run. However, Romano was able to strike out Cesar Prieto to finish off the save. Though it wasn't smooth, Romano's ability to convert the save should be a sigh of relief for his fantasy managers after he blew a save opportunity in his last appearance (Aug. 4 versus Tampa Bay). He appears to have a pretty firm grasp on Colorado's closer role, converting six of seven save chances since joining the big-league roster July 4. |

Kyle Freeland Kyle Freeland Last just 4.1 frames Saturday
Sat, Aug 8, 2026, 10:58 PM
Freeland allowed three runs (one earned) on five hits and three walks while striking out three batters over 4.1 innings in a no-decision against St. Louis on Saturday.
Analysis: Freeland recorded his first career complete game in a win over Kansas City his previous time out, but his outing Saturday went in an entirely different direction. The left-hander's inefficiency resulted in his shortest start since May 26, as he needed 101 pitches to get through 4.1 frames. However, Freeland's ERA actually improved since two of the three runs against him were unearned, courtesy of a first-inning passed ball by Hunter Goodman on what would have been an inning-ending strikeout. Freeland's 6.63 season ERA is still the second-worst in MLB among pitchers who have thrown at least 100 frames, though he's projected for a favorable matchup in San Francisco for his next start. |
