Kyle Karros Kyle Karros Clears concussion protocol
Wed, Sep 2, 2026, 2:36 PM
Karros has cleared concussion protocol and will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Hartford on Thursday, Eli Whitney of Blake Street Banter reports.
Analysis: Karros has been on the 7-day injured list twice since mid-August, which is worrisome, but he appears to be in the clear now. He is slated to remain with Hartford through the end of the weekend. If all goes well, Karros appears poised for a return to the Rockies' active roster next week as the club begins a road trip. |

Willi Castro Willi Castro Exiting starting nine
Wed, Sep 2, 2026, 11:24 AM
Castro is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Orioles.
Analysis: It's unclear whether Castro is banged up, but this will be his second straight day on the bench after he had started the previous 11 contests. Connor Norby is handling third base for the Rockies. |

Mickey Moniak Mickey Moniak Out of lineup versus left-hander
Wed, Sep 2, 2026, 11:22 AM
Moniak is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.
Analysis: It's an afternoon contest and the Orioles are starting lefty Trevor Rogers, providing an opportunity for the lefty-swinging Moniak to get a breather. Jordan Beck is getting a start in right field, and Adael Amador will slot in at designated hitter. |

Jaden Hill Jaden Hill Picks up win in relief
Wed, Sep 2, 2026, 9:09 AM
Hill (1-3) earned the win in relief Tuesday against the Orioles after allowing one run on one hit while striking out one over one inning.
Analysis: Hill surrendered a two-out solo homer to Jackson Holliday in the seventh, which erased Colorado's 2-1 advantage. The Rockies immediately responded in the bottom half when TJ Rumfield launched a go-ahead two-run homer, allowing Hill to collect his first win of the season. Hill returned from the injured list Aug. 19 following a bout of right shoulder tendinitis, and he's given up one run or zero in four of his five appearances since then. |

Gabriel Hughes Gabriel Hughes No-decision Tuesday
Wed, Sep 2, 2026, 9:06 AM
Hughes allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out four across 4.2 innings Tuesday against the Orioles. He didn't factor into the decision.
Analysis: Hughes held the Orioles to one run but couldn't make it through the fifth. The Orioles loaded the bases with two outs in that frame, prompting Colorado to summon Brennan Bernardino, who retired Gunnar Henderson to preserve the 2-1 lead. Hughes lowered his ERA to 6.19 with this outing, and this was the first time he didn't give up multiple earned runs since July 22. Hughes projects to make his next start on the road against the Yankees next week. |

Jordan Romano Jordan Romano Notches 14th save
Wed, Sep 2, 2026, 8:55 AM
Romano struck out two in a perfect ninth inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 4-2 victory over the Orioles.
Analysis: Romano was handed a two-run advantage and had no trouble protecting it, striking out Colton Cowser and Blaze Alexander before getting Holliday to fly out to finish the game. The right-hander needed just 17 pitches (11 strikes) to retire the side in order and collected his 14th save of the season. Romano owns a 4.50 ERA overall this season but has posted a 2.00 ERA since joining Colorado. |

Tue, Sep 1, 2026, 4:16 PM
Tovar isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.
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. |

Blas Castano Blas Castano Summoned to big leagues
Tue, Sep 1, 2026, 4:03 PM
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. |
|
Adael Amador Adael Amador Recalled from minors
Tue, Sep 1, 2026, 4:00 PM
The Rockies recalled Amador from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.
Analysis: Amador is 3-for-10 with one home run during his time with the Rockies this season and has slashed .264/.367/.428 with 11 home runs and 11 stolen bases in 94 contests with Albuquerque. The 23-year-old is capable of handling both middle-infield spots as well as left field. |

Blas Castano Blas Castano Set to join big club
Mon, Aug 31, 2026, 9:46 PM
Castano is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday when rosters expand, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.
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. |

Adael Amador Adael Amador Expecting promotion 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.
Analysis: Amador will provide Colorado with more infield depth once the move becomes official ahead of Tuesday's matchup against Baltimore. He spent five games with the Rockies earlier in the year, going 3-for-10 with one home run, six RBI and five runs. |

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. |
