Jordan Beck Jordan Beck First multi-hit game since April
Sat, Aug 22, 2026, 7:48 AM
Beck went 2-for-4 on Friday against the Guardians.
Analysis: Beck has had a tough season, spending the majority of his time either in the minors or on the injured list. However, he's settled into a short-side platoon role, and he's started three of Colorado's last four games with the team facing a heavy dose of lefties. Beck's multi-hit performance Friday was his first since April 20. |

Tanner Gordon Tanner Gordon Hit around in loss
Fri, Aug 21, 2026, 11:14 PM
Gordon (0-4) took the loss against the Guardians on Friday, allowing five runs on nine hits and two walks with five strikeouts over 5.1 innings.
Analysis: Gordon re-entered the rotation for the first time since July 10 and opened with two quick innings before yielding at least one run in each frame that followed. The 28-year-old did throw a strong 62 of 82 pitches for strikes, but he surrendered one homer, and the Guardians made him pay with runners on base. He owns a 5.75 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 64:15 K:BB across 76.2 innings this season and lines up for a road matchup with the Nationals next week. |

Adael Amador Adael Amador Dispatched to minors
Fri, Aug 21, 2026, 3:27 PM
The Rockies optioned Amador to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.
Analysis: He's being sent out to accommodate the return of Kyle Karros from the concussion injured list. Amador is 3-for-10 with one home run during his brief time in the majors this season. |

Kyle Karros Kyle Karros Returning from concussion IL
Fri, Aug 21, 2026, 3:21 PM
The Rockies activated Karros from the 7-day injured list Friday.
Analysis: Karros wound up missing a little over a week with his concussion symptoms. He did not embark upon a rehab assignment, but the third baseman ramped up on-field workouts this week to clear the path for his return to the Rockies' lineup. Karros has had a nice first full season in the big leagues, sporting a .265/.361/.424 slash line with 10 home runs in 116 contests. |

Tyler Freeman Tyler Freeman Ready for rehab assignment
Thu, Aug 20, 2026, 1:09 PM
Freeman (back) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday.
Analysis: Freeman has been out since mid-August with a back injury that's bothered intermittently this season. Because his absence has been brief, Freeman's rehab assignment should be a short one. He's slashed .247/.317/.314 with three home runs and six stolen bases in 79 contests for the Rockies this season. |

Tanner Gordon Tanner Gordon Slotting into rotation Friday
Thu, Aug 20, 2026, 12:25 PM
Gordon is slated to start Friday's game against the Guardians at Coors Field.
Analysis: Gordon had made each of his first five appearances following the All-Star break as a long reliever, but he'll re-enter the rotation this week as a replacement for Michael Lorenzen, whom the Rockies released Wednesday. In Lorenzen's final start last Saturday against the Giants, Gordon ended up working behind him while covering four innings and 63 pitches, so the 28-year-old righty will be reasonably stretched out as he returns to the rotation. Gordon had previously made five starts for the Rockies, posting a 6.26 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 17:5 K:BB in 23 innings. |

Kyle Freeland Kyle Freeland Exits with injury
Wed, Aug 19, 2026, 8:57 PM
Freeland was removed from Wednesday's game against the Dodgers due to an apparent injury, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.
Analysis: Freeland gave up four earned runs on six hits and a walk while fanning five batters in 3.2 innings before an injury ended his start abruptly. It's unknown what exactly caused the 33-year-old lefty to come out of the game, but the Rockies should provide more details in the near future. |
|
Willi Castro Willi Castro Resting Wednesday
Wed, Aug 19, 2026, 5:51 PM
Castro isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.
Analysis: Castro will move to the bench Wednesday after going 3-for-7 with a homer, two RBI, four runs and a steal across the first two games of the series. Connor Norby will move to third base while Castro sits, opening up second for Adael Amador. |

Jaden Hill Jaden Hill Back from injured list
Wed, Aug 19, 2026, 4:14 PM
The Rockies reinstated Hill (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.
Analysis: Right shoulder tendinitis has kept Hill out of action since late June, but he's now been cleared to return after spending nearly two months on the shelf. The 26-year-old posted a 5.06 ERA and 1.65 WHIP over 26.2 innings before getting hurt, but Colorado's lack of bullpen depth could allow him to work in high-leverage situations, as he already has two saves and 11 holds on the season. TJ Shook was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move. |
|
Parker Mushinski Parker Mushinski Jettisoned from 40-man roster
Wed, Aug 19, 2026, 4:10 PM
The Rockies designated Mushinski for assignment Wednesday.
Analysis: Mushinski opened the season with Triple-A Albuquerque before his contract was selected by the Rockies in early August. He's appeared in eight games for Colorado since his promotion, allowing two runs on nine hits and five walks across 6.2 innings and logging three holds in the process. Mushinski will now go through the waiver process and could carry some appeal to teams with a need for another lefty arm in the bullpen. |
|
Contract selected
Wed, Aug 19, 2026, 4:09 PM
The Rockies selected Manfredi's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.
Analysis: Manfredi joined the Rockies organization at the trade deadline as part of the deal that sent Antonio Senzatela to Milwaukee. The 26-year-old righty owns a 4.45 ERA and 1.38 WHIP across 28.1 innings at Triple-A this season but has given up six runs in just five frames with Albuquerque since being traded. Despite his recent performance, the Rockies will add him to their bullpen to provide a fresh arm. Parker Mushinski was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. |

TJ Shook TJ Shook Sent back to Triple-A
Wed, Aug 19, 2026, 4:06 PM
The Rockies optioned Shook to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.
Analysis: Shook was recalled by the Rockies on Monday and pitched the same night against the Dodgers, allowing one run on two hits and one walk while striking out one batter across two innings. Colorado will shuffle its bullpen again Wednesday, with Shook going back down to the minors and left-hander Mark Manfredi coming up from Albuquerque to replace him. Shook has spent most of the 2026 season in Triple-A, where he has a 3.02 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and a 45:24 K:BB over 47.2 innings. |

Kyle Karros Kyle Karros Likely back for weekend series
Tue, Aug 18, 2026, 11:23 PM
Karros (concussion) has resumed baseball activity at Colorado's team complex in Scottsdale, MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Karros is eligible to return from the injured list Wednesday, but that does not seem likely. Instead, it's suggested that Karros is trending toward activation for Colorado's weekend series against the Guardians. |

Braxton Fulford Braxton Fulford Recalled, starting Tuesday
Tue, Aug 18, 2026, 4:23 PM
The Rockies recalled Fulford from Triple-A Albuquerque, and the 27-year-old will start behind home plate and bat eighth against the Dodgers on Tuesday.
Analysis: The move gives the Rockies much-needed depth behind home plate after star catcher Hunter Goodman (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list. Fulford will be thrust into action immediately following his promotion to the majors, where he's slashed .177/.254/.290 with four steals, one home run and seven RBI across 71 plate appearances with Colorado this season. |

Hunter Goodman Hunter Goodman Out with shoulder strain
Tue, Aug 18, 2026, 3:50 PM
The Rockies placed Goodman on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to Aug. 15, due to a left shoulder strain.
Analysis: The 26-year-old hasn't seen the field since Wednesday due to shoulder inflammation and will be sidelined for at least another week after being diagnosed with a strain. Brett Sullivan has been operating as Colorado's primary backstop with Goodman banged up, and Braxton Fulford was called up Tuesday to fill the backup job. |

Mickey Moniak Mickey Moniak Heading to bench Monday
Mon, Aug 17, 2026, 6:08 PM
Moniak is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers.
Analysis: The Rockies will give the left-handed-hitting Moniak a night off while southpaw Blake Snell toes the rubber for the Dodgers. Moniak had started in each of the Rockies' last seven games, going 3-for-24 (.125 average) with five RBI and one run during that stretch. |

Hunter Goodman Hunter Goodman Scratched from lineup
Mon, Aug 17, 2026, 4:54 PM
Goodman was scratched from Monday's lineup versus the Dodgers due to left shoulder inflammation, Kelsey Wingert-Linch of AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain reports.
Analysis: Goodman had been slated to return from a three-game absence, but instead the Rockies have decided to hold him out for a fourth consecutive contest. There's no indication that he's suffered a setback, so consider Goodman day-to-day. Brett Sullivan will do the catching for Colorado on Monday. |
|
Michael Lorenzen Michael Lorenzen Dropped from 40-man roster
Mon, Aug 17, 2026, 3:44 PM
The Rockies designated Lorenzen for assignment Monday.
Analysis: Lorenzen maintained good health throughout the season while eating innings out of the rotation, but that was about his only positive takeaway from his time with the Rockies. Colorado will cut bait with the 34-year-old righty after he went 3-11 with a 7.08 ERA, 1.88 WHIP and 82:49 K:BB in 115.2 frames over 26 appearances (25 starts). Given that any team putting in a claim for Lorenzen would have to assume the money left on his $8 million contract for 2026, he's likely to pass through waivers before the Rockies officially release him. |

TJ Shook TJ Shook Summoned to big leagues
Mon, Aug 17, 2026, 3:42 PM
The Rockies recalled Shook from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.
Analysis: Shook made four relief appearances for the Rockies earlier this season, allowing six runs with a 6:3 K:BB over 5.2 innings. The 28-year-old will provide the Colorado bullpen with a fresh arm after the relief corps covered five innings in Sunday's win over the Giants. |
|
Hunter Goodman Hunter Goodman Checking back into lineup Monday
Mon, Aug 17, 2026, 3:30 PM
Goodman (shoulder) will start at catcher and bat third in Monday's game against the Dodgers.
Analysis: Goodman has been cleared to resume his usual duties behind plate following a three-game absence due to left shoulder inflammation. While the Rockies could look to build in an off day for Goodman during their six-game week at Coors Field, fantasy managers should have no hesitation about keeping the two-time All-Star catcher active now that he's been confirmed to start in the series opener with the Dodgers. |
