Michael Lorenzen Michael Lorenzen Chased early in loss
Sat, Aug 15, 2026, 8:13 PM
Lorenzen (3-11) took the loss against the Giants on Saturday, allowing six runs on four hits and three walks with one strikeout over 3.2 innings.
Analysis: Lorenzen entered the fourth in a 1-1 tie before things unraveled, as he was unable to complete the inning and was ultimately charged with five more runs. The 34-year-old has endured a nightmare second half, posting an 11.57 ERA through five starts since the All-Star break while failing to complete five frames in any of them. He'll take a bloated 7.08 ERA, 1.88 WHIP and 82:49 K:BB across 115.2 innings this season into a home matchup with the Guardians next weekend. |

Sat, Aug 15, 2026, 1:34 PM
Goodman was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants due to left shoulder inflammation.
Analysis: The severity of Goodman's issue is still unknown, but it will cause him to miss at least Saturday's contest. Brett Sullivan will step in behind the plate and bat eighth. |

Brett Sullivan Brett Sullivan Scores twice in win
Sat, Aug 15, 2026, 9:16 AM
Sullivan went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored Friday against the Giants.
Analysis: Sullivan doubled to lead off the fifth inning and came around to score, and he crossed the plate again in the ninth frame after reaching base on a single. He is the clear backup to Hunter Goodman at catcher, though Sullivan has started three of Colorado's last five games with Goodman slotting in at designated hitter. |

Connor Norby Connor Norby Three straight starts
Sat, Aug 15, 2026, 9:00 AM
Norby went 0-for-2 with two walks, a run scored and a stolen base Friday against the Giants.
Analysis: Norby was recalled to the majors as a depth option, but Kyle Karros' (concussion) subsequent placement on the injured list has opened up a starting opportunity. Willi Castro has shifted to third base, while Norby has made three consecutive starts at second base. He has yet to collect a hit, but he has drawn four walks in 11 plate appearances. |

Analysis: Carrigg was in the lineup for the previous 11 tilts, splitting time between center field (eight starts) and shortstop (three starts). He'll exit the lineup for Friday's series opener, with the Rockies leaning on Jake McCarthy in center field and Ezequiel Tovar at shortstop. |

Fri, Aug 14, 2026, 3:51 PM

The Rockies outrighted Julien to Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday.
Analysis: Julien was booted off the 40-man roster earlier this week, but he will remain in the organization after passing through waivers. The 27-year-old infielder has slashed .208/.322/.292 over 276 plate appearances this season with the Rockies. |

Analysis: Romano has now converted six of his last seven save chances, allowing just one run over seven innings in that span. Since joining Colorado, Romano has posted a 3.09 ERA across 11.2 innings with a 1.54 WHIP and 14:7 K:BB. |

Ryan Feltner Ryan Feltner Notches fifth win
Wed, Aug 12, 2026, 6:17 PM
Feltner (5-6) earned the win Wednesday over the Diamondbacks, allowing two runs on seven hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out two.
Analysis: Feltner managed to work out of trouble for most of the outing, holding Arizona to a run in the first inning before giving up a second on a Gabriel Moreno two-out double in the fifth. It's a step in the right direction for the 29-year-old Feltner, who'd struggled to a 9.39 ERA over 23 innings in his previous five starts. Overall, the right-hander sports a 5.59 ERA with a 1.48 WHIP and 61:36 K:BB across 18 starts (87 innings) this season. Feltner is currently lined up to face the Dodgers at home his next time out. |

Jordan Beck Jordan Beck Back on bench Wednesday
Wed, Aug 12, 2026, 1:51 PM
Beck is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Analysis: Since being called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on Aug. 3, Beck has started in five of the Rockies' ensuing nine games while going 5-for-18 with three extra-base hits, one walk and one run. The Rockies could use Beck primarily against left-handed pitching moving forward, as the left-handed-hitting Zac Veen could be in line to get an extended look against righties after being promoted from Triple-A on Tuesday. |

Ezequiel Tovar Ezequiel Tovar Taking seat Wednesday
Wed, Aug 12, 2026, 1:46 PM
Tovar is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Analysis: Tovar will sit for the second time in the series while the Rockies go with Cole Carrigg at shortstop in the finale. Though he's posted a career-worst .580 OPS over 404 plate appearances on the season, Tovar has heated up a bit in August, slashing .310/.344/.448 through his first nine contests of the month. |

Adael Amador Adael Amador Summoned to majors
Wed, Aug 12, 2026, 1:18 PM
The Rockies recalled Amador from Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.
Analysis: Amador is in the midst of his third season as a member of the Rockies' 40-man roster, but he had been playing exclusively at Triple-A in 2026 until receiving a call-up Wednesday. The 23-year-old recorded 11 home runs and 11 steals while slashing .261/.370/.432 in 393 plate appearances for Albuquerque, though that still made him a below-league-average producer with a 94 wRC+ in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League. While Amador has been used solely at second base during his time in the majors over the previous two seasons, he's also dabbled at shortstop and left field at Albuquerque in 2026. |

Jose Quintana Jose Quintana Set for another bullpen session
Wed, Aug 12, 2026, 1:13 PM
Quintana (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Wednesday, MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Quintana most recently tossed a 23-pitch bullpen session Sunday that consisted of all fastballs and changeups. The veteran southpaw -- who has been on the shelf since May 25 due to an elbow sprain -- could soon be cleared to face hitters and appears to be tracking toward a return to the Rockies' active roster in late August or early September. |

Jeff Criswell Jeff Criswell Activated, optioned to Triple-A
Wed, Aug 12, 2026, 1:09 PM
The Rockies reinstated Criswell (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday and optioned him to Triple-A Albuquerque.
Analysis: Colorado placed Criswell on the IL shortly after he sustained a right shoulder strain following his first appearance coming out of the All-Star break, but he made a relatively quick recovery. He tossed a scoreless inning in his lone rehab appearance with Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday and will wind up sticking around with the affiliate, as the Rockies didn't have room for him in the big-league bullpen. |

Kyle Karros Kyle Karros Shut down due to concussion
Wed, Aug 12, 2026, 12:54 PM
The Rockies placed Karros on the 7-day injured list Wednesday due to a concussion.
Analysis: Karros hit a game-tying two-run home run in the top of the sixth inning of Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks, and then left the game in the bottom half of the frame after colliding in the field with teammate Ezequiel Tovar while both were pursuing a grounder. Per David Brandt of the Associated Press, Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer said after the game that Karros entered concussion protocol. With that, Karros will be held out of action for the next week, which likely clears the way for Willi Castro to serve as the Rockies' primary third baseman in the interim. |

Wed, Aug 12, 2026, 9:09 AM
Criswell (shoulder) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday, pitching around a hit and a walk to log a scoreless frame.
Analysis: Criswell landed on the 15-day injured list nearly a month ago with a right shoulder strain. He could require another rehab outing or two before rejoining the Rockies' bullpen. |

Tue, Aug 11, 2026, 3:42 PM
Colorado designated Julien for assignment on Tuesday, per Kyle Newman of The Denver Post.
Analysis: With Julien slowly losing out on playing time, the Rockies decided to DFA the 27-year-old. The left-handed-hitting Julien batted just .208/.322/.292 with three home runs and 20 RBI in 276 plate appearances this season. The Rockies recalled Zac Veen on Tuesday to replace Julien on the active roster. |

Tue, Aug 11, 2026, 3:37 PM
The Rockies recalled Veen from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.
Analysis: This is Veen's first stint of 2026 with the big-league club after he logged 37 plate appearances with the Rockies last season. The 24-year-old has slashed .327/.402/.635 with 24 home runs, 87 RBI and 19 stolen bases in 445 plate appearances with Albuquerque. The Rockies designated Edouard Julien to make room for Veen on the 26-man roster. |

Connor Norby Connor Norby Recalled by Colorado
Mon, Aug 10, 2026, 6:03 PM
The Rockies recalled Norby from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.
Analysis: The move corresponds with the Rockies placing Tyler Freeman (back) on the 10-day injured list. Norby appeared in 65 games for the Marlins and slashed .203/.313/.325 with six steals, four homers and 16 RBI over 233 plate appearances before being traded to the Rockies on Monday, Aug. 3. Norby gives Colorado some additional depth at both first and third base. |

Tyler Freeman Tyler Freeman Placed on 10-day IL
Mon, Aug 10, 2026, 5:59 PM
The Rockies placed Freeman on the 10-day injured list Monday due to lumbar pain, retroactive to Sunday.
Analysis: It's the second time this season that Freeman will spend time on the IL due to a back issue. The earliest he can return is Aug. 19, but he'll undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury and attempt to establish a clearer recovery timeline. Connor Norby was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move. |
