Analysis: Romano opened the ninth inning by striking out Salvador Perez, and the former needed only six more pitches to close things out for the Rockies in Friday's series opener.

Sat, Aug 1, 2026, 10:35 AM
Sugano (11-4) earned the win against the Royals on Friday, allowing one run on five hits while striking out two across 6.2 innings. He did not issue a walk.
Analysis: Sugano kept the Royals in check for most of Friday's start, with Carter Jensen's solo home run in the sixth being the only blemish to the right-hander's line. It was Sugano's second quality start in three outings since the All-Star break and sixth of the season. He'll take a 4.47 ERA and 1.26 WHIP across 102.2 innings into his next start, which is lined up for next week at home against the Rays. |

Karros (biceps) will start at third base and bat fifth in Friday's contest versus the Royals.
Analysis: Karros didn't start the previous two games because of left biceps inflammation, but he's ready to roll in time for the start of the Rockies' homestand. The third baseman has experienced a mini-breakout for Colorado this season, sporting a .262/.362/.426 batting line with nine home runs over 102 games. |

Fri, Jul 31, 2026, 3:37 PM
The Rockies reinstated Doyle (groin) from the 10-day injured list Friday.
Analysis: Doyle has been out since May 21 after suffering a left oblique contusion and a subsequent groin injury. Prior to being sidelined, the 28-year-old batted .207/.279/.270 with one home run, four RBI and nine stolen bases in 122 plate appearances. Colorado optioned Braxton Fulford to Triple-A Albuquerque to clear space for Doyle on the 26-man roster. |

Braxton Fulford Braxton Fulford Set to be optioned
Fri, Jul 31, 2026, 12:54 PM
The Rockies will option Fulford to Triple-A Albuquerque prior to Friday's contest versus the Royals, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: He'll be cleared off the active roster to make space for the return of Brenton Doyle (groin) from the injured list. The Rockies have been carrying three catchers but will revert to a two-catcher setup, with Brett Sullivan backing up Hunter Goodman. |

Brenton Doyle Brenton Doyle Slated for activation Friday
Fri, Jul 31, 2026, 12:51 PM
The Rockies will activate Doyle (groin) from the 10-day injured list prior to Friday's game against the Royals, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Doyle has been sidelined since late May, first due to an oblique strain but more recently because of a strained groin. However, he has gone 10-for-21 with a home run since resuming his rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque last week, clearing the way for his return. Doyle was not being used as an everyday player when he got hurt, and it might take the Rockies trading another outfielder to alter his playing time outlook. |

Gabriel Hughes Gabriel Hughes Falls to San Diego
Wed, Jul 29, 2026, 10:00 PM
Hughes (0-3) took the loss Wednesday against the Padres, allowing three runs on six hits and a walk across five innings. He struck out two.
Analysis: Hughes was sharp early, as he held San Diego to just one hit through his first three innings. However, things would unravel in the fourth, when the rookie right-hander allowed the first four batters to reach safely, ultimately giving up three runs. Through his first 24.1 big-league innings, Hughes sports a 3.33 ERA with a 1.19 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB. He's currently lined up to face the Rays at home his next time out. |

Edouard Julien Edouard Julien On bench to open Wednesday's game
Wed, Jul 29, 2026, 2:35 PM
Julien is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.
Analysis: Julien was included in the lineup for the first two games of the series and went 1-for-6 with a double and a run scored, but he'll take a seat to begin Wednesday's contest while southpaw Kyle Hart opens the game for the Padres. The Rockies could summon the left-handed-hitting Julien from the bench at some point during the contest once Hart exits and right-hander Griffin Canning takes over in bulk relief. |
|
Troy Johnston Troy Johnston Exiting starting nine
Wed, Jul 29, 2026, 2:20 PM
Johnston is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in San Diego.
Analysis: The Padres are going with a lefty opener (Kyle Hart) before turning to a right bulk reliever (Griffin Canning). While the left-handed-hitting Johnston will begin the contest on the bench, he's a candidate to enter mid-game when Canning or another righty takes over. Colorado has Jake McCarthy in right field and Hunter Goodman at designated hitter. |

Wed, Jul 29, 2026, 2:17 PM
Karros (biceps) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest in San Diego.
Analysis: Karros had to be scratched from Tuesday's lineup with left biceps inflammation and will now miss a second straight start. The Rockies are idle Thursday, so Karros will aim to return to action Friday when the Rockies return home to host the Royals. Willi Castro will fill in again at the hot corner Wednesday in Karros' stead. |

Willi Castro Willi Castro Reaches 10-homer mark
Sun, Jul 26, 2026, 5:32 PM
Castro went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a hit-by-pitch in Sunday's 11-2 loss to the Brewers.
Analysis: Castro reached the 10-homer mark on the year with this blast, one of four the utility man has hit in July. He's added 11 RBI while batting .197 (13-for-66) with 24 strikeouts over 19 games this month. For the season, Castro is hitting .258 with a .724 OPS, 44 RBI, 45 runs scored, 15 doubles and seven stolen bases over 91 contests, but his rate stats are likely to come down if he continues to whiff. |

Cole Carrigg Cole Carrigg Goes yard in loss
Sun, Jul 26, 2026, 5:29 PM
Carrigg went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 11-2 loss to the Brewers.
Analysis: Jacob Misiorowski was perfect for 4.2 innings before Carrigg's solo shot. The long ball ended a 15-game power drought for Carrigg, who still hit .280 with six doubles and six RBI in that span. The outfielder is batting .287 with an .879 OPS, five homers, 26 RBI, 30 runs scored, nine doubles, three triples and three stolen bases over his first 39 games in the majors. As expected, there hasn't been much power in Carrigg's bat, but he could still make some gains with speed and he maintains a good eye at the plate. |

Kyle Freeland Kyle Freeland Handed 10th loss
Sun, Jul 26, 2026, 5:24 PM
Freeland (2-10) allowed five runs on six hits and a walk while striking out two over 5.1 innings to take the loss versus the Brewers on Sunday.
Analysis: Freeland has reverted to poor form lately, allowing 19 runs over 22.1 innings over his last four starts, three of which have come on the road. He has a 17:3 K:BB in that span, but he's also given up five home runs. For the season, the southpaw has a 7.34 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 85:21 K:BB through 99.1 innings over 19 starts. His 7.7 K/9 is one of the better marks of his career and his 1.9 BB/9 is his best, but a 1.9 HR/9 has largely held him back, resulting in a career-worst ERA. Freeland's next start is projected to be at home versus the Royals. |
