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 and send Ryan Ritter out to shortstop in the nine-hole for Sunday's series finale. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

Thu, Aug 27, 2026, 9:29 AM
Moniak is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Nationals.
Analysis: It's a routine day off for Moniak, who started each of the previous seven contests. The 28-year-old is just 5-for-33 at the plate during that stretch. Zac Veen, Cole Carrigg and Troy Johnston will play the outfield and Jake McCarthy will slot in at designated hitter for the Rockies. |

Thu, Aug 27, 2026, 9:24 AM
Goodman is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Nationals.
Analysis: Goodman homered in each of the first two games of the series after returning from the injured list, but he will get a breather during Thursday's afternoon tilt. Brett Sullivan will step in at catcher for the Rockies. |

Ezequiel Tovar Ezequiel Tovar Strong showing in return
Thu, Aug 27, 2026, 2:28 AM
Tovar went 2-for-4 with two RBI, a walk and a stolen base Wednesday against the Nationals.
Analysis: Tovar returned from a one-game absence caused by a wrist issue, and he showed no ill effects. He stole his sixth base of the season in the sixth inning after reaching base on a free pass, and he followed that up with a two-run single two frames later. Tovar has had a very poor season, though he has hit .315 across 54 at-bats in August. |

Analysis: Johnston pulled a Will Dion pitch to deep right field to give the Rockies a 2-1 lead, in which they never looked back from, cruising to a 13-1 victory. This was Johnston's first long shot since June 14 as he's been scuffling at the plate since the All-Star break with a .221 batting average and 12:4 K:BB in 22 games. |

Analysis: Carrigg hit his first home run in a month off of Will Dion in the fifth inning to bring the Rockies' lead to three runs. This is Carrigg's fifth multi-hit game in August, even though he has been slumping at the plate recently (3-for-28 in last seven games).

Wed, Aug 26, 2026, 10:34 PM
Gordon (1-4) earned the win Wednesday, striking out five batters and allowing one earned run on six hits and no walks across seven innings against the Nationals.
Analysis: Making his second straight turn through the rotation after a nearly month-long stint in the bullpen, Gordon delivered his best performance of the season for his first win. The 28-year-old fired a season-high seven frames in just his third scoreless outing of the year after he was promoted back to being a starter last week after Colorado released Michael Lorenzen. The 28-year-old Gordon now has a 2.68 ERA over 40.1 innings away from Coors Field this year, though his next start lines up to come at home versus Baltimore. |

Brett Sullivan Brett Sullivan Back in No. 2 role
Wed, Aug 26, 2026, 3:53 PM
Sullivan is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
Analysis: Sullivan will hit the bench for a second straight game, as he's faded back to the second spot on the Rockies' catching depth chart with All-Star Hunter Goodman returning from the injured list Tuesday. While Goodman was out of the lineup for a stretch of 10 consecutive games from Aug. 14 through Monday, Sullivan made eight starts and went 5-for-29 (.172 average) with one home run, five RBI and four runs. |
