Castro is not in the Rockies' starting lineup against the Brewers on Saturday.

Jake McCarthy Jake McCarthy Swipes 11th bag
Sat, Jun 6, 2026, 8:28 AM
McCarthy went 2-for-6 with a double, a run scored and a stolen base Friday against the Brewers.
Analysis: McCarthy accounted for most of his damage in the first inning, when he hit a leadoff double, stole third base and came around to score. He continues to deliver impressive production, maintaining a .284 average with two homers, 10 RBI and 13 runs scored across his last 20 games. McCarthy also has four stolen bases in that span and 11 for the season. |

Sterlin Thompson Sterlin Thompson Three hits in loss
Sat, Jun 6, 2026, 8:20 AM
Thompson went 3-for-5 with two RBI on Friday against the Brewers.
Analysis: Thompson has picked things up at the plate across his last four games, with Friday marking the first three-hit game of his career. In that four-game span -- three of which were on the road -- Thompson has gone 6-for-16 with three RBI, three runs scored and three walks. He's also been in the lineup in five of Colorado's last six games between left field and DH and is occupying a strong-side platoon role. |

Juan Mejia Juan Mejia Tough outings piling up
Sat, Jun 6, 2026, 8:14 AM
Mejia (1-5) allowed four runs (three earned) on three hits and two walks while walking two across one-third of an inning to take the loss Friday against the Brewers.
Analysis: Mejia entered the game in the 10th inning with the score tied at 5-5, and he struck out the first batter he faced. However, he allowed the next five batters to reach base before being pulled in favor of Seth Halvorsen. Mejia is in the high-leverage mix for the Rockies, but the team hasn't converted a save since May 18 and Mejia has allowed multiple earned runs in four of his last five appearances. |

Antonio Senzatela Antonio Senzatela Blows save Friday
Fri, Jun 5, 2026, 11:21 PM
Senzatela blew the save in Friday's 9-7 extra-inning loss to the Brewers, allowing four runs (three earned) on four hits and no walks with four strikeouts over 1.2 innings.
Analysis: Senzatela was aiming for a two-inning save after striking out the side in the eighth, but he unraveled for four runs in the ninth and departed with a 5-3 deficit. The 31-year-old entered June with a case for the Rockies' closer role, but he's now been charged with blown saves in back-to-back appearances to open the month. For the year, he still owns an impressive 1.98 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 30:10 K:BB across 36.1 innings while tallying three saves and two holds. |

Ryan Feltner Ryan Feltner Goes six strong in no-decision
Fri, Jun 5, 2026, 11:13 PM
Feltner did not factor into the decision in Friday's 9-7 extra-inning loss to the Brewers, allowing one run on one hit and two walks with four strikeouts over six innings.
Analysis: Feltner allowed a run in the second inning but otherwise kept a dangerous Brewers lineup in check, throwing 51 of 81 pitches for strikes while generating eight whiffs. The outing gave the 29-year-old back-to-back quality starts since returning from the injured list Saturday, both of which have come at Coors Field. He owns a 4.22 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 23:10 K:BB across 32 innings this season and lines up for another home matchup against the Cubs next week. |

Zach Agnos Zach Agnos Back in majors
Fri, Jun 5, 2026, 7:41 PM
The Rockies recalled Agnos from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.
Analysis: Agnos will rejoin the big-league roster to provide extra bullpen depth as Tanner Gordon (hip) moves to the injured list. Agnos has performed poorly in the majors this season, accumulating a 7.78 ERA and 1.57 WHIP through 37 innings. |
|
Tanner Gordon Tanner Gordon Placed on IL
Fri, Jun 5, 2026, 7:38 PM
The Rockies placed Gordon on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Tuesday, with a right hip impingement.
Analysis: Gordon gave up four earned runs in just three innings during his last start Sunday, and he'll now have to wait until at least mid-June for his next chance to redeem himself. It's unclear who will fill Gordon's place in the rotation, which is scheduled to come up Saturday, but the Rockies will recall Zach Agnos from Triple-A Albuquerque to provide additional bullpen depth during Friday's game against the Brewers. |

Mickey Moniak Mickey Moniak Resumes activity
Fri, Jun 5, 2026, 5:58 PM
Moniak (ankle) has been cleared to begin baseball activities, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.
Analysis: Manager Warren Schaeffer said Friday that Moniak resumed hitting off a tee during Colorado's series against the Angels, but the 28-year-old outfielder remains without a return timeline. He has been sidelined by right ankle tendinitis since late May and will likely embark on a rehab assignment before coming off the IL. |

Kyle Karros Kyle Karros Exiting starting nine
Fri, Jun 5, 2026, 2:56 PM
Karros is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Brewers.
Analysis: Karros started at third base each of the previous four contests but will take a seat in Friday's series opener. Willi Castro will man the hot corner for the Rockies. |
|
Ezequiel Tovar Ezequiel Tovar Getting rest Wednesday
Wed, Jun 3, 2026, 6:56 PM
Tovar isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.
Analysis: Tovar will get a chance to regroup Wednesday after going 0-for-9 with six strikeouts over the first two games of the series. Willi Castro will shift to shortstop in Tovar's absence, opening up second base for Edouard Julien. |
|
Tyler Freeman Tyler Freeman Getting rest Tuesday
Tue, Jun 2, 2026, 7:16 PM
Freeman isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels.
Analysis: Freeman is currently enjoying a seven-game hitting streak that's seen him go 10-for-25 (.400) with six runs scored, but the Rockies will keep him on the bench to begin Tuesday's game. His absence will open up a spot in the lineup for Edouard Julien, who will start at first base and bat ninth. |
|
TJ Rumfield TJ Rumfield Back in action Tuesday
Tue, Jun 2, 2026, 7:12 PM
Rumfield (shoulder) will serve as the designated hitter and bat third Tuesday against the Angels.
Analysis: Rumfield was pulled early from Sunday's contest with shoulder inflammation and missed out on the starting nine Monday, but he later entered the game as a pinch hitter. He'll now return to the lineup and look to turn things around after going just 3-for-15 across his last seven games. |

Welinton Herrera Welinton Herrera Done for season with torn UCL
Tue, Jun 2, 2026, 12:08 PM
Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer announced Monday that Herrera (elbow) has been diagnosed with a torn UCL and will miss the remainder of the season, Jack Janes of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Colorado placed Herrera on the 15-day injured list Friday due to left elbow inflammation, but he was shifted to the 60-day IL just two days later after a follow-up MRI apparently revealed that the 22-year-old reliever was dealing with ligament damage. Schaeffer said that the Rockies don't currently have a timeline for Herrera to go under the knife, as the left-hander will presumably receive additional medical evaluations before deciding whether to get Tommy John surgery, an internal brace procedure or a hybrid of the two. Even if Herrera avoids a UCL reconstruction and instead has a UCL repair surgery, he's still likely to require close to a full year of rehab and recovery before returning to game action in the middle or second half of the 2027 season. |

Welinton Herrera Welinton Herrera Moved to 60-day IL
Mon, Jun 1, 2026, 6:57 PM
The Rockies transferred Herrera (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Monday.
Analysis: Herrera landed on the 15-day IL on Saturday due to left elbow inflammation. The injury is severe enough for him to warrant a move to the 60-day injured list, meaning that the earliest he is eligible to be reinstated is in late July. The move also opened a spot on the Rockies' 40-man roster, which the team filled after selecting TJ Shook's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque. |

Zach Agnos Zach Agnos Sent down to Triple-A
Mon, Jun 1, 2026, 6:53 PM
The Rockies optioned Agnos to Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.
Analysis: The move makes room on the 26-man roster for TJ Shook, who had his contract selected by the Rockies. Agnos has struggled on the mound as of late, having given up 14 earned runs over his last two outings spanning three frames. That has ballooned his numbers to a 7.78 ERA and 1.57 WHIP across 37 innings this season. Agnos will work on his command issues in the minors and could return to the big club should the Rockies need more right-handed depth out of the bullpen. |

Called up by Colorado
Mon, Jun 1, 2026, 6:50 PM
The Rockies selected Shook's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.
Analysis: Shook has spent the entire 2026 season in Triple-A, where he has a 2.86 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, seven saves and a 29:8 K:BB across 28.1 innings. He'll operate out of the Rockies' bullpen, and his first call to the mound will be his major-league debut. In corresponding moves, Zach Agnos was optioned to Albuquerque and Welinton Herrera (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list. |
|
TJ Rumfield TJ Rumfield Absent from Monday's lineup
Mon, Jun 1, 2026, 5:14 PM
Rumfield (shoulder) is not in the Rockies' starting lineup against the Angels on Monday.
Analysis: Rumfield is dealing with right shoulder inflammation, which caused him to be scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Giants. He's not ready to return for Monday's series opener, so Edouard Julien will start at first base and bat seventh against the Halos. |

Tyler Freeman Tyler Freeman Logs three hits Sunday
Sun, May 31, 2026, 10:30 PM
Freeman went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored, a stolen base and a walk in Sunday's 19-6 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: Freeman extended his hitting streak to six games with a three-hit performance, his first such effort of the campaign. In addition, the 27-year-old tallied his fifth stolen base of the season, his first swiped bag since May 8. With Mickey Moniak (ankle) and Jordan Beck (hamstring) sidelined, Freeman has seen steadier playing time in the outfield of late, starting in right field in seven of the past eight contests. |

Tanner Gordon Tanner Gordon Allows four runs in first loss
Sun, May 31, 2026, 9:33 PM
Gordon (0-1) took the loss Sunday, allowing four runs on six hits and a walk over three-plus innings against San Francisco. He struck out two.
Analysis: Gordon made his second start of the season and didn't fare as well as last time out, when he allowed one run across five innings. The right-hander was lifted at 75 pitches (48 strikes) without recording an out in the fourth inning after allowing a double to Bryce Eldridge and hitting Daniel Susac. Both runners came around to score after Brennan Bernardino relieved Gordon. Across nine appearances and 35.1 innings this season, the 28-year-old owns a 6.37 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 35:8 K:BB. If he remains in the rotation, Gordon is lined up to make his next start Saturday against Milwaukee. |
