Jordan Romano Jordan Romano Notches 13th save
Wed, Aug 26, 2026, 10:50 AM
Romano walked one in a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday to record his 13th save of the season in a 3-1 win over the Nationals.
Analysis: The veteran right-hander may be turning his career around with the most unlikely of teams. Romano has converted nine of 10 save chances since landing with the Rockies, posting a 2.30 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 15:8 K:BB over 15.2 innings -- a remarkable turnaround after he began 2026 with a 10.13 ERA in eight frames for the Angels. |

Hunter Goodman Hunter Goodman Goes yard in return from IL
Wed, Aug 26, 2026, 10:46 AM
Goodman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Nationals.
Analysis: Activated from the IL earlier in the day after recovering from a shoulder injury, Goodman quickly proved he was healthy by launching an Andrew Alvarez fastball into the left-field seats to lead off the fourth inning. It was the 35th homer of the season for the slugging backstop, and in 24 games since the All-Star break he sports a .237/.295/.575 slash line with eight long balls, 11 runs and 19 RBI. |

No-decision in MLB debut
Wed, Aug 26, 2026, 10:42 AM
Adams didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Nationals, allowing one run on three hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out five.
Analysis: Making his big-league debut, Adams tossed 48 of 75 pitches for strikes but couldn't stick around long enough to qualify for his first MLB win. The right-hander was picked up from the White Sox at the trade deadline in the Brenton Doyle trade and has looked good this season at Triple-A in his return from Tommy John surgery, posting a 3.67 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 49:20 K:BB through 49 innings between Charlotte and Albuquerque prior to his promotion. Adams is filling in for Kyle Freeland (neck) in the Rockies' rotation, but if he continues to pitch reasonable well, he could keep his spot for the remainder of the season. Adams is set to make his next start on the road this weekend in Atlanta. |

Tue, Aug 25, 2026, 4:02 PM
The Rockies optioned Adams to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.
Analysis: The right-hander had his contract selected from Triple-A on Monday and will return to Albuquerque after surrendering five runs in one inning during his MLB debut against the Nationals. Adams hasn't pitched much better at Triple-A this year with an 8.10 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 41:22 K:BB over 50 innings. |

Braxton Fulford Braxton Fulford Returns to Triple-A
Tue, Aug 25, 2026, 3:58 PM
The Rockies optioned Fulford to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.
Analysis: The 27-year-old was up with the Rockies the past week but will return to Triple-A since Hunter Goodman (shoulder) was activated from the injured list Tuesday. Fulford hasn't made much of an impact offensively when up with Colorado this year with a .174/.253/.275 slash line in 43 games. |

Promoted for MLB debut
Tue, Aug 25, 2026, 3:49 PM
The Rockies selected Adams' contract from Triple-A Albuquerque, and he will start Tuesday's game against the Nationals.
Analysis: It will be the major-league debut for the 26-year-old, who has a 3.67 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 49:20 K:BB across 49 innings at the Triple-A level this year. Adams was acquired from the White Sox in the Brenton Doyle trade in early August and could get at least a couple turns through the rotation after Kyle Freeland (neck) was placed on the injured list Monday. |

Ezequiel Tovar Ezequiel Tovar Sitting out with wrist issue
Tue, Aug 25, 2026, 3:39 PM
Tovar (wrist) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Nationals.
Analysis: Tovar had to be pulled from Monday's contest after tweaking his left wrist on a diving play at shortstop. He's considered day-to-day. Ryan Ritter will fill in at shortstop for the Rockies on Tuesday. |

Hunter Goodman Hunter Goodman Returns from injured list
Tue, Aug 25, 2026, 3:20 PM
The Rockies reinstated Goodman (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list and he is batting third Tuesday against the Nationals, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Goodman ended up missing just the 10-day minimum due to the left shoulder strain he sustained in mid-August. The 26-year-old homered twice in his first game of the month but since then has struggled, going 5-for-31 (.161 average) with one homer and 10 strikeouts in his past nine contests. |

Tanner Gordon Tanner Gordon Staying in rotation
Tue, Aug 25, 2026, 12:58 PM
Gordon is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Nationals in Washington, D.C.
Analysis: After the Rockies released Michael Lorenzen last week, Gordon was moved out of the bullpen to fill the opening in the rotation. While making his sixth start of the season Friday against the Guardians at Coors Field, Gordon was handed a loss after giving up five runs on nine hits and two walks across 5.1 innings. Though Gordon owns a 2.97 ERA and 1.29 WHIP over 33.1 innings away from Colorado this season, he won't make for a recommended streaming option outside of NL-only or deeper mixed leagues. |

Willi Castro Willi Castro Homers in loss Monday
Mon, Aug 24, 2026, 9:04 PM
Castro went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a strikeout during Monday's 13-3 loss to Washington.
Analysis: Castro belted a solo shot in the fourth for his 15th blast of the season to get the scoring started. The 29-year-old has successfully recorded a base hit in eight of his last nine games. This year, the switch-hitter has slashed .264/.332/.428 with 15 homers and nine stolen bases over 446 plate appearances. |

Ezequiel Tovar Ezequiel Tovar Blasts homer No. 10
Mon, Aug 24, 2026, 8:58 PM
Tovar went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and a double during Monday's 13-3 loss to the Nationals.
Analysis: In Tovar's second at-bat against Cade Cavalli, he took the right-hander deep to center field for a solo shot to extend Colorado's lead. The long ball snapped a 15-game homerless drought. The 25-year-old was lifted in the bottom of the sixth as a defensive substitution for Ryan Ritter after straining his left wrist. On the campaign, Tovar is slashing .209/.257/.596 with 10 homers and 39 RBI in 429 plate appearances. |

Ryan Feltner Ryan Feltner Roughed up in start
Mon, Aug 24, 2026, 8:57 PM
Feltner (5-8) took the loss after allowing seven runs (five earned) on six hits and four walks. He struck out six.
Analysis: Feltner cruised through the first four innings, keeping the Nationals off the board until a five-run fifth inning that he could not recover from. This marks consecutive starts in which the 29-year-old allowed five or more earned runs. The right-hander has not recorded a quality start since July 3 against San Francisco. This year, Feltner now owns a 6.08 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 70:43 K:BB over 97.2 innings. |

Connor Norby Connor Norby Heads into Monday with eight-game hit streak
Mon, Aug 24, 2026, 2:58 PM
Norby will start at second base and bat sixth in Monday's game against the Nationals.
Analysis: Norby will head into the series opener in Washington, D.C. riding an eight-game hitting streak, during which he's batted .375 with one home run, one stolen base, five runs and two RBI. He'll be making his fourth start in six games and appears to have settled into a near-everyday role in the Colorado infield after third baseman Kyle Karros (concussion) played just two games before landing back on the 7-day injured list. |

Cole Carrigg Cole Carrigg Sitting in series opener in D.C.
Mon, Aug 24, 2026, 2:53 PM
Carrigg is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.
Analysis: The Rockies will give the rookie a breather after he hit just .161 with a 3:10 BB:K while starting in each of the last eight games. With Carrigg on the bench, the Rockies will roll out a starting outfield of Zac Veen, Jake McCarthy and Mickey Moniak from left to right in the series opener in Washington, D.C. |

Receives call from Triple-A
Mon, Aug 24, 2026, 2:23 PM
The Rockies selected Adams' contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.
Analysis: The 25-year-old righty received his first big-league call-up, despite submitting an 8.10 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 41:22 K:BB in 50 innings at Triple-A after being bumped up from Double-A Hartford on May 19. Adams will likely serve as a low-leverage reliever for the duration of his stay with the Rockies. |

Kyle Freeland Kyle Freeland Move to IL official
Mon, Aug 24, 2026, 2:18 PM
The Rockies placed Freeland on the 15-day injured list Monday due to cervical radiculopathy.
Analysis: Freeland will head to the IL for the second time this season, after shoulder inflammation kept him on the shelf for a brief spell in April. The veteran southpaw dealt with a pinched nerve in his neck during his most recent start last Wednesday against the Dodgers, and after he wasn't able to bounce back as well as the Rockies had hoped, the decision was made to deactivate him. The Rockies will call up Mason Adams from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday to join the rotation as a replacement for Freeland, who will be eligible to return Sept. 5. |

MLB debut coming Tuesday
Mon, Aug 24, 2026, 2:07 PM
The Rockies plan to call up Adams from Triple-A Albuquerque to pitch in Tuesday's game against the Nationals in Washington, D.C., Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Adams is expected to be deployed as either a traditional starter or bulk reliever as a replacement in the rotation for lefty Kyle Freeland (neck), who is slated to go on the 15-day injured list. Acquired Aug. 3 as part of the deal that sent outfielder Brenton Doyle to the White Sox, Adams has posted a 2.08 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB in 13 innings over three starts at Albuquerque. |

Kyle Freeland Kyle Freeland Looks headed to injured list
Mon, Aug 24, 2026, 2:00 PM
The Rockies are expected to place Freeland on the 15-day injured list Monday while he recovers from a pinched nerve in his neck, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Despite making an early exit from his previous start last Wednesday against the Dodgers due to the injury, Freeland had been expected to be ready to go for his next turn through the rotation Tuesday in Washington. The veteran southpaw evidently hasn't bounced back from the neck issue as well as the Rockies had hoped, so the club is expected to call up right-hander Mason Adams from Triple-A Albuquerque to take Freeland's spot in the rotation. Freeland owns a 4-10 record, 6.37 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 103:28 K:BB across 124.1 innings over his 23 starts on the season. |

Tyler Freeman Tyler Freeman Optioned to Triple-A
Sun, Aug 23, 2026, 3:00 PM
The Rockies reinstated Freeman (back) from the 10-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
Analysis: The 27-year-old completed his rehab assignment with Albuquerque but will remain at Triple-A rather than rejoining Colorado's active roster. Freeman was on the shelf nearly two weeks due to the back injury. |

Brett Sullivan Brett Sullivan Filling in for injured Goodman
Sun, Aug 23, 2026, 2:08 PM
Sullivan will start at catcher and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Guardians.
Analysis: Sullivan has handled a hefty workload of late, starting behind the dish in all but two of the Rockies' 10 games since Aug. 12 while All-Star backstop Hunter Goodman (shoulder) has been out of commission. Though Sullivan has popped two home runs, driven in seven runs and scored five times during that span, his fantasy utility will likely take a hit during the upcoming week, when the Rockies will leave the favorable confines of Coors Field and play seven straight road games. |
