Richie Martin Richie Martin Shipped to Colorado
Mon, Jun 8, 2026, 5:12 PM
The Rockies acquired Martin from the Rangers on Sunday in exchange for cash considerations.
Analysis: It's likely this is simply a move to give the Rockies some organizational infield depth. Martin has hit .234/.345/.362 with four homers and 12 steals at Triple-A Round Rock this season. He has not played at the major-league level since 2022. |

Kyle Freeland Kyle Freeland Sets franchise milestone Sunday
Sun, Jun 7, 2026, 10:33 PM
Freeland took a no-decision Sunday against Milwaukee, surrendering three runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out two across five innings
Analysis: Freeland appeared on track for one of his better outings of the season after holding Milwaukee to just one run through five innings, but back-to-back hits to open the sixth inning ended his day. The inherited runner he left on base eventually came around to score as the Brewers erupted for seven runs in the frame. The outing was still a memorable one for the veteran left-hander, as he raised his career innings total to 1,313.1 to become the Rockies' all-time franchise leader in innings pitched. Unfortunately, the milestone comes amid a difficult season, as Freeland now owns a 7.81 ERA and 1.70 WHIP across 53 innings. A home start scheduled next against the Athletics offers little fantasy appeal at the moment, with both his command and ability to miss bats continuing to trend in the wrong direction. |

TJ Shook TJ Shook Returns to minors
Sun, Jun 7, 2026, 12:00 PM
Colorado optioned Shook to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
Analysis: Shook joined the Rockies on June 1 and appeared in three games, allowing two runs while posting a 3:0 K:BB over 3.2 innings. He's headed back to the minors in favor of lefty reliever Sammy Peralta, who was called up from Albuquerque to take Shook's bullpen spot. |

Sammy Peralta Sammy Peralta Back with big-league club
Sun, Jun 7, 2026, 11:58 AM
The Rockies recalled Peralta from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
Analysis: Peralta had one appearance with Colorado earlier this season, allowing two runs over two-thirds of an inning against Texas on May 19. He'll now get another chance to show the team what he can do. Righty reliever TJ Shook was optioned to Albuquerque in a corresponding move. |

Tyler Freeman Tyler Freeman Leaves game after HBP in helmet
Sat, Jun 6, 2026, 10:05 PM
Freeman was removed from Saturday's game against the Brewers in the bottom of the sixth inning after he was hit by a pitch in the helmet, Kelsey Wingert-Linch of AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain reports.
Analysis: Freeman was hit in the side of the helmet with a 98 mph cutter from Jacob Misiorowski, who was visibly upset that the pitch got away from him. Freeman was able to walk off the field under his own power. Prior to leaving, he was 0-for-2 at the plate with the hit-by-pitch. Sterlin Thompson came on to pinch-run for Freeman. |

Willi Castro Willi Castro Sitting Saturday
Sat, Jun 6, 2026, 2:40 PM
Castro is not in the Rockies' starting lineup against the Brewers on Saturday.
Analysis: Castro will take a seat after going 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and a run scored in Friday's series opener. Edouard Julien and Kyle Karros will start at second and third base, respectively, in Saturday's contest. |

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. |
