The 25-year-old was lifted in the bottom of the sixth as a defensive substitution for Ryan Ritter after straining his left wrist.

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

Sun, Aug 23, 2026, 2:05 PM
Veen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.
Analysis: The Rockies will keep the left-handed-hitting Veen on the bench for the second time in the series while the Guardians send another lefty (Foster Griffin) to the bump. Jordan Beck will draw the start in right field in place of Veen. |
|
TJ Rumfield TJ Rumfield Taking seat Sunday
Sun, Aug 23, 2026, 2:04 PM
Rumfield is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.
Analysis: The left-handed-hitting Rumfield will head to the bench for the series finale while the Guardians send southpaw Foster Griffin to the bump. Connor Norby will draw the start at first base in place of Rumfield, who is hitting .262 in August but has provided few counting numbers (zero home runs, zero steals, six RBI, eight runs) through 18 games on the month. |

Ryan Ritter Ryan Ritter Called up, starting Sunday
Sun, Aug 23, 2026, 2:02 PM
The Rockies recalled Ritter from Triple-A Albuquerque, and he's starting at second base and batting eighth Sunday against the Guardians.
Analysis: The 25-year-old cracked Colorado's Opening Day roster but went 1-for-7 in just six games before being demoted to Triple-A. Ritter has enjoyed a productive season at Albuquerque with four homers, eight steals and a .325/.424/.459 slash line in 52 games. He's taking the roster spot of Kyle Karros, who was placed on the injured list with a concussion. |

Kyle Karros Kyle Karros Returns to concussion IL
Sun, Aug 23, 2026, 1:37 PM
The Rockies placed Karros on the 7-day injured list Sunday due to a concussion.
Analysis: The 24-year-old was activated from the concussion IL on Friday but will quickly return after experiencing additional symptoms. Karros will be sidelined for at least another week while he goes through the league's protocols. Ryan Ritter was called up from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move and is starting at second base Sunday against the Guardians, with Willi Castro sliding to the hot corner. |

Jake McCarthy Jake McCarthy Tallies 23rd steal
Sun, Aug 23, 2026, 8:51 AM
McCarthy went 2-for-4 with a stolen base Saturday against the Guardians.
Analysis: McCarthy made an early impact with his speed, reaching base on an infield single to lead off the first inning before proceeding to steal second base. He now has 23 steals this season, and he has swiped three bases in his last five games. McCarthy has remained a strong fantasy contributor, hitting .313 with three homers, nine RBI, 17 runs scored and six stolen bases across 19 games in August. |

Moniak went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Guardians.
Analysis: In the bottom of the fifth, Moniak drilled a solo home run into the seats to cut Cleveland's lead to one. The 28-year-old is now just four long balls shy of his career-high (24), which he accomplished in 2025 with Colorado. This year, Moniak has slashed .264/.306/.540 with 21 home runs and 60 RBI in 340 plate appearances. |

Sat, Aug 22, 2026, 11:13 PM
Hughes (0-5) picked up the loss after allowing three runs on four hits and two walks Saturday against the Guardians. He struck out two.

Tovar isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Guardians.
Analysis: Tovar will grab a seat on the bench Saturday after going 0-for-9 with three strikeouts and a sacrifice fly over his last five games. His absence will cause Cole Carrigg to move to shortstop while Zac Veen, Jake McCarthy and Mickey Moniak start across the outfield. |

Jordan Beck Jordan Beck First multi-hit game since April
Sat, Aug 22, 2026, 7:48 AM
Beck went 2-for-4 against the Guardians on Friday.
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. |
