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. |

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: Freeman had gone just 3-for-32 (.094) over his previous eight games before Saturday's productive performance.

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. |

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.

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. |
