Ryan Feltner Ryan Feltner Struggles again Saturday
Sat, Jul 25, 2026, 11:18 PM
Feltner (3-5) allowed five runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out four batters over five innings in a loss to Milwaukee on Saturday.
Analysis: Feltner surrendered just two extra-base hits (a double and a homer), but he recorded only one 1-2-3 inning. The right-hander had walked four batters in each of his previous two outings, so a positive takeaway is that he issued just one free pass Saturday, though that didn't prevent him from taking a third consecutive loss. Feltner looked to be turning a corner with three straight quality starts from June 22 to July 3, but he's since regressed by giving up 17 earned runs across 11.2 frames over his subsequent three starts. He holds a poor 5.73 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 54:29 K:BB across 70.2 innings spanning 15 starts on the season. |

Tanner Gordon Tanner Gordon Opens second half in bullpen
Sat, Jul 25, 2026, 10:46 AM
Gordon struck out two batters and allowed one earned run on three hits and one walk across 5.2 innings of relief in Sunday's 9-6 loss to the Reds.
Analysis: After coming off the injured list June 30, Gordon made each of his three appearances as a starter prior to the All-Star break, logging a 6.60 ERA and 1.73 WHIP in 15 innings across those outings. However, with Tomoyuki Sugano getting cleared to return from the IL to begin the second half, Gordon has since shifted back to the bullpen. He ended up mopping up Sunday behind started Ryan Feltner, who took the loss after being rocked for eight earned runs across 2.1 innings. |

Willi Castro Willi Castro Swipes seventh bag
Sat, Jul 25, 2026, 9:00 AM
Castro went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored Friday against the Brewers.
Analysis: Castro led off the fourth inning with a single and immediately swiped second base, his seventh stolen base of the year. He continues to hit well coming out of the All-Star break, collecting six RBI and four runs scored with two homers across seven games. |

Kyle Karros Kyle Karros Two hits in win
Sat, Jul 25, 2026, 8:54 AM
Karros went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and an RBI on Friday against the Brewers.
Analysis: Karros doubled in his first at-bat before coming around to score, and he then singled in a run in his next plate appearance. It was his first multi-hit effort since the All-Star break, though he has gotten on base a .417 clip with three runs scored in six games since play resumed. Karros also hit second in Colorado's lineup, a position he's held of late against lefties. |

Jordan Romano Jordan Romano Notches eighth save
Sat, Jul 25, 2026, 8:40 AM
Romano gave up two hits and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Friday to record his eighth save of the season in a 5-2 win over the Brewers.
Analysis: The right-hander is now 4-for-4 in converting save chances for Colorado since being added to the big-league roster in early July, and his 1.35 ERA is a massive improvement on the 10.13 mark he produced with the Angels over 11 appearances to begin the campaign. Romano's 1.50 WHIP and 5.4 BB/9 in 6.2 innings with the Rockies suggest that turnaround is likely a mirage, however. As long as he's able to keep closing the door in the ninth inning, Romano should remain the top closing option for his new team, but he should still be viewed as a very volatile fantasy play. |

Tomoyuki Sugano Tomoyuki Sugano Collects win No. 10
Sat, Jul 25, 2026, 8:34 AM
Sugano (10-4) picked up the win Friday, allowing two runs on six hits and a walk over 5.1 innings in a 5-2 victory over the Brewers. He struck out five.
Analysis: Both runs off Sugano scored on solo shots by Christian Yelich in the first inning and Brice Turang in the sixth, but he otherwise quieted the home squad over 93 pitches (55 strikes). The 36-year-old right-hander has won six straight decisions since the beginning of June despite a 5.73 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 25:8 K:BB in 37.2 innings over that stretch, and given his affordable one-year contract, he's a prime candidate to get moved by the trade deadline. If Sugano sticks with the Rockies, he would line up to make his next start at home next weekend against the Royals. |

TJ Rumfield TJ Rumfield Getting day off Friday
Fri, Jul 24, 2026, 11:45 AM
Rumfield is not in the lineup for Friday's contest in Milwaukee.
Analysis: It's a routine day off for Rumfield, who had started each of the previous 14 games. Troy Johnston will grab a start at first base and bat sixth for the Rockies in Friday's series opener. |

Gabriel Hughes Gabriel Hughes Solid again in loss
Wed, Jul 22, 2026, 6:24 PM
Hughes (0-2) took the loss Wednesday against the Nationals, allowing a run on five hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out five.
Analysis: Hughes held the Nats scoreless through four innings Wednesday, though a James Wood sacrifice fly in the fifth proved enough to stick the right-hander with the loss in the Rockies' eventual 8-0 defeat. Since joining the Rockies early this month, the 24-year-old Hughes has given up just six runs on 16 hits and six walks while striking out 19 across 19.1 innings. Hughes, who was drafted 10th overall in 2022, certainly appears to have done enough to garner an extended look in Colorado's rotation. He's tentatively lined up to face the Padres on the road in his next outing. |

Brenton Doyle Brenton Doyle Cleared to resume rehab assignment
Wed, Jul 22, 2026, 12:21 PM
Doyle (groin/oblique) has been cleared to resume a rehab assignment, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.
Analysis: Doyle landed on the 10-day injured list in late May with an oblique strain, but it's been a left groin strain that's kept him out of action for the last two-plus weeks. The outfielder had logged six rehab contests before his rehab assignment was paused, so he might not need many more before being activated, assuming he can avoid another setback. |

Edouard Julien Edouard Julien Losing hold of platoon role
Wed, Jul 22, 2026, 11:58 AM
Julien will start at second base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
Analysis: The left-handed-hitting Julien will draw his first start of the series after sitting Monday and Tuesday while the Nationals sent lefty starters to the hill for both contests. Julien is batting just .148/.258/.296 thus far in July, and he no longer appears to have a firm grasp on a strong-side platoon role after the Rockies held him out of the lineup against right-handed starters in the final game before the All-Star break and in the first game of the second half. |

Brett Sullivan Brett Sullivan Drawing second start of second half
Wed, Jul 22, 2026, 11:55 AM
Sullivan will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
Analysis: The Rockies are giving All-Star Hunter Goodman a day off from catching but keeping his bat in the lineup at designated hitter, so Sullivan will get a turn behind the dish in the series finale. Sullivan has started in just two of the Rockies' last six contests, and his playing time will likely remain scarce so long as Goodman is healthy and the team continues to carry three catchers (Sullivan, Goodman and Braxton Fulford) on the roster. |
|
Troy Johnston Troy Johnston Absent from lineup
Wed, Jul 22, 2026, 11:52 AM
Johnston is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Nationals.
Analysis: Right-hander Cade Cavalli is toeing the slab for the Nationals, but the lefty-swinging Johnston will nonetheless begin the game on the bench. Hunter Goodman is getting a day at designated hitter for the Rockies, and Brett Sullivan will enter the lineup at catcher. |
|
Ezequiel Tovar Ezequiel Tovar Exiting starting lineup
Wed, Jul 22, 2026, 11:46 AM
Tovar is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Nationals.
Analysis: Tovar went hitless in the first two games of the series and is just 2-for-32 at the dish across his last 10 contests. Willi Castro will slide over to shortstop, and Edouard Julien will handle second base for the Rockies on Wednesday. |

Shelved at High-A
Tue, Jul 21, 2026, 12:40 PM
High-A Spokane placed Brecht on the 7-day injured list May 23 with a right shoulder injury, Geoff Pontes of Baseball America reports.
Analysis: Pontes reports Brecht is due back as early as late July, although he hasn't begun a rehab assignment yet. Brecht has big stuff, but his fantasy appeal is limited due to the fact he's a Rockies pitching prospect. The 23-year-old righty logged a 5.23 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 31:15 K:BB in 20.2 innings prior to the injury. |

Shipped to Colorado
Mon, Jul 20, 2026, 1:26 PM
The Rockies acquired Vidourek and Nick Frasso from the Dodgers on Monday in exchange for Seth Halvorsen (shoulder), Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Analysis: Vidourek was a third-round pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft and has had a rough start to his pro career, slashing just .170/.332/.311 with six home runs, nine stolen bases and a 38.7 percent strikeout rate over 59 games in 2026 with Single-A Ontario. The 22-year-old outfielder does have some power and speed, and the Rockies' player development staff will work with him on making more contact. |

Nick Frasso Nick Frasso Dealt to Rockies
Mon, Jul 20, 2026, 1:19 PM
The Rockies acquired Frasso and Landyn Vidourek from the Dodgers on Monday in exchange for Seth Halvorsen (shoulder), Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Analysis: Frasso has moved to the bullpen this season at Triple-A Oklahoma City and turned in a 4.74 ERA and 40:17 K:BB over 24.2 innings. The 27-year-old was added to the 40-man roster by the Dodgers in June but has yet to make his major-league debut. Frasso could get an opportunity with the Rockies sooner rather than later. |

Seth Halvorsen Seth Halvorsen Makes rehab appearance
Mon, Jul 20, 2026, 8:23 AM
Halvorsen (shoulder) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday, permitting two hits in a scoreless inning.
Analysis: Halvorsen has been shelved for all of July due to right shoulder inflammation. He shouldn't require too many more rehab outings, though it's not a given that Halvorsen is reinstated to the big-league roster once he's physically ready. |

Hunter Goodman Hunter Goodman Explodes for three homers
Sun, Jul 19, 2026, 10:31 PM
Goodman went 3-for-4 with three home runs and five RBI in Sunday's 9-6 loss to the Reds.
Analysis: Goodman accounted for nearly all of Colorado's offense, taking Hunter Greene deep twice for the only three runs the right-hander allowed before adding a third homer off Sam Moll in the eighth inning. All three blasts were no-doubt shots, traveling 425, 435 and 442 feet. The catcher became the first player in Rockies history to record two three-homer games in the same season and now has 30 long balls on the year. He's slashing .257/.326/.561 and trails only Kyle Schwarber (33) for the National League home run lead. |

Ryan Feltner Ryan Feltner Tagged for eight runs Sunday
Sun, Jul 19, 2026, 9:45 PM
Feltner (3-4) took the loss Sunday against the Reds after allowing eight runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out three over 2.1 innings.
Analysis: Feltner never found his footing as Cincinnati broke the game open immediately. Nathaniel Lowe belted a three-run homer in the first inning before Tyler Stephenson followed with a two-run shot later in the frame. Sal Stewart added a three-run homer in the second, and Feltner's day ended after issuing back-to-back walks in the third inning. The eight runs allowed tied his career high, set in 2024, and he has now issued four walks in three of his last five starts. Sunday's outing caused the right-hander's ERA to jump from 4.55 to 5.48. Feltner will look to rebound in his next scheduled start on the road against the Brewers. |

Cole Carrigg Cole Carrigg Idle Sunday
Sun, Jul 19, 2026, 11:10 AM
Carrigg is absent from Sunday's lineup against Cincinnati.
Analysis: Carrigg will ride the bench for the second time during this three-game set against the Reds. Jake McCarthy will take over duties in center field and leadoff for Colorado in place of Carrigg. |
