Analysis: Tovar will move to the bench for a second time in three games after recording just one hit and five strikeouts in his last 13 at-bats. Cole Carrigg will shift to shortstop to cover for Tovar while Zac Veen, Jake McCarthy and Mickey Moniak start across the outfield. |

The Rockies recalled Castano from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.
Analysis: Castano has logged a 3.92 ERA and 17:6 K:BB across 20.2 innings with the Rockies this season. The 27-year-old is likely to be used as a multi-inning reliever in Colorado. |

Analysis: Castano worked to a 3.93 and 1.36 WHIP with 14 strikeouts over 18.1 innings (nine appearances) during his last stint in the big leagues. He'll likely be asked to provide support out of the bullpen once his promotion becomes official Tuesday. |

Mon, Aug 31, 2026, 9:40 PM
The Rockies are expected to recall Amador from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday when rosters expand, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.

Cole Carrigg Cole Carrigg On bench for second straight game
Mon, Aug 31, 2026, 7:23 PM
Carrigg is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.
Analysis: The Rockies will keep Carrigg on the bench for a second straight game while he's fallen into a lull at the plate, producing a weak .154/.228/.288 slash line with a 29.8 percent strikeout rate over the past two weeks. With Carrigg and Zac Veen both sitting, the Rockies will roll out a starting outfield of Jordan Beck, Jake McCarthy and Mickey Moniak from left to right. |
|
Zac Veen Zac Veen Sitting for third straight game
Mon, Aug 31, 2026, 7:20 PM
Veen is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.
Analysis: The left-handed-hitting Veen will be relegated to the bench for the third game in a row, with two of those absences coming against left-handed pitching. Since getting called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on Aug. 11, Veen has posted a strong .791 OPS, though he's struck out in 13 of his 34 plate appearances (38.2 percent). |

Kyle Karros Kyle Karros Nearing rehab stint
Mon, Aug 31, 2026, 6:14 PM
Karros is hopeful to be cleared from the league's concussion protocol Tuesday, and then play for Double-A Hartford from Thursday to Sunday, Eli Whitney of Blake Street Banter reports.
Analysis: This plan all depends on whether Karros comes out of concussion protocol Tuesday, though either way, he appears to be trending in the right direction. The 24-year-old landed back on the concussion injured list Aug. 23 after experiencing additional symptoms, so the club is presumably taking it slow with the third baseman to ensure he's fully healthy before activating him. If all goes well, Karros could be back in the big leagues for the start of Colorado's road series Sept. 8 against the Yankees. |

Mason Adams Mason Adams Solid in second start
Sun, Aug 30, 2026, 3:32 PM
Adams did not factor into the decision Sunday against Atlanta, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out five.
Analysis: Both runs charged to Adams came in the third inning -- Sean Murphy led off the frame with a solo home run before Ronald Acuna drove in a second with a two-out hit. Overall, Adams has been solid through his first two major-league starts, allowing three runs on eight hits while striking out 10 over nine innings. If Kyle Freeland (neck) is unable to return, Adams would line up for a home matchup with the Cardinals his next time out. |

Ezequiel Tovar Ezequiel Tovar Resting Sunday
Sun, Aug 30, 2026, 9:37 AM
Tovar is absent from the lineup for Sunday's matchup against Atlanta.
Analysis: Tovar is a combined 1-for-6 with two strikeouts through the first two games of the series against Atlanta. Colorado will give the 24-year-old a breather while Ryan Ritter handles shortstop and hits ninth Sunday. |
|
Mason Adams Mason Adams Drawing another start
Sun, Aug 30, 2026, 8:34 AM
Adams is slated to start for the Rockies in Sunday's game in Atlanta.
Analysis: Adams will receive a second turn through the Colorado rotation after striking out five and yielding one run on three hits and three walks over four innings in a no-decision during his MLB debut Tuesday in a 3-1 win over the Nationals. Though he's a placeholder in the rotation for the injured Kyle Freeland (neck), Adams could have the opportunity to make additional starts for the Rockies over the balance of the season if he acquits himself well in his subsequent outings. |

Zach Agnos Zach Agnos Fares well as opener
Sat, Aug 29, 2026, 6:47 PM
Agnos didn't factor into the decision against Atlanta on Saturday, allowing no runs on two hits and one walk in 2.2 relief innings. He struck out one.
Analysis: The Rockies went with a bullpen game, and Agnos opened the contest as well as Colorado could have hoped for. It was the right-hander's third starting assignment of the year, and he's been effective with a 1.69 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 6:5 K:BB in 10.2 innings out of the rotation versus a 6.09 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 46:22 K:BB across 68 innings from the bullpen. He's worked at least five innings just one time this season and has yet to reach the 80-pitch marker, so Agnos may struggle for streaming appeal if he draws another start. |

Ryan Feltner Ryan Feltner Scratched with illness
Sat, Aug 29, 2026, 1:14 PM
Feltner was scratched from his scheduled start Saturday against Atlanta due to an illness, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Manager Warren Schaeffer said that Feltner spent much of Friday night vomiting, so the Rockies will pull him off his start and instead send Zach Agnos to the mound in the first inning. Feltner could still be available out of the bullpen if he manages to arrive at the park before the end of the game. |

Zach Agnos Zach Agnos Starting Saturday
Sat, Aug 29, 2026, 1:08 PM
Agnos will start Saturday's game against Atlanta.
Analysis: Agnos will be filling in for Ryan Feltner, who was scratched from his start due to an illness. Agnos has logged a 5.68 ERA and 1.43 WHIP across 76 innings with the Rockies this season and hasn't thrown more than three innings in an appearance since May, so his outing Saturday is likely to be relatively brief. |

Jose Quintana Jose Quintana Set for sim game
Sat, Aug 29, 2026, 7:46 AM
Quintana (elbow) will throw two simulated innings at the Rockies' complex in Arizona on Saturday, MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Quintana threw a 45-pitch bullpen session in mid-August and has been ramping up his activity. While he seems to be making clear progress, it's unclear whether he'll be able to return to the mound before the season ends. |

Kyle Karros Kyle Karros Resuming baseball activities
Sat, Aug 29, 2026, 7:43 AM
Karros (concussion) has resumed both hitting and fielding drills at the Rockies' complex in Arizona, MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Karros has dealt with a concussion or concussion symptoms for nearly three weeks, and he attempted to return once already. The next step in his recovery will be a simulated game Saturday. |

Zac Veen Zac Veen Snaps hitless streak
Sat, Aug 29, 2026, 7:35 AM
Veen went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored Friday against Atlanta.
Analysis: Veen hit well immediately after being recalled in mid-August, but he entered Friday's game having gone hitless across his last six games and 10 at-bats while striking out seven times in that span. Veen snapped out of that slump with a pair of singles in the loss. He has started nine of 10 games against right-handed pitching since being promoted. |

Tomoyuki Sugano Tomoyuki Sugano Rocked for six runs in loss
Fri, Aug 28, 2026, 10:52 PM
Sugano (12-8) took the loss against Atlanta on Friday, allowing six runs on 10 hits and one walk while striking out four across four innings.
Analysis: It was another tough outing for Sugano, who has given up at least five earned runs in each of his last three outings, with the 10 hits being his most in a game since Aug. 31, 2025 against the Giants. Sugano has taken the loss in four of his last five outings, during which he has recorded an 8.61 ERA, 1.83 WHIP and 17:5 K:BB over 23 innings. He's tentatively slated to take on the Orioles at home next week. |

Hunter Goodman Hunter Goodman Logs three hits in Friday's loss
Fri, Aug 28, 2026, 10:45 PM
Goodman went 3-for-5 with an RBI single during Colorado's 6-4 loss to Atlanta on Friday.
Analysis: It was Goodman's second multi-hit game in his last three outings and the eighth time he's recorded at least three hits in a game. The 26-year-old catcher has driven in at least one run in three of four outings since coming off the IL and is up to 73 RBI on the year, which leads the Rockies and ranks 20th among National League hitters. |

Gabriel Hughes Gabriel Hughes Falls to 0-6
Thu, Aug 27, 2026, 3:16 PM
Hughes (0-6) took the loss Thursday against the Nationals, allowing four runs on seven hits and four walks over five innings. He struck out three.
Analysis: Hughes has had a rough go of it on the mound of late, posting a 10.03 ERA over 23.1 innings in his last five outings. Overall, the rookie right-hander sports a 6.61 ERA through 47.2 innings this season with a 1.45 WHIP and 38:19 K:BB. Hughes, who's still looking for his first major-league win, tentatively lines up to face the Orioles at home his next time out. |
