Rockies' Michael Toglia: Clubs another homer
Toglia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Monday's 2-1 loss to the Phillies.
Toglia launched his fourth home run of the 2024 campaign, matching his homer total from a season before in 34 fewer games. Despite his impressive power output, Toglia owns a poor .167 on-base percentage with a massive 36.1 percent strikeout rate.

Rockies' Cal Quantrill: Gets no support against PHI
Quantrill didn't factor into the decision Monday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks with one strikeout during 6.0 innings against the Phillies.
Quantrill notched his second straight quality start and yielded fewer than three runs for the first time in 2023. Despite making three of his first four starts away from Coors Field, Quantrill owns a 5.57 ERA and an 11:7 K:BB through 21.0 innings. After their series in Philadelphia, the Rockies will play their next nine games at home, with Quantrill tentatively lined up to face the Mariners on Sunday before seeing either the Padres or Astros in his following start.

Rockies' Kyle Freeland: Picks up injury on basepaths
Freeland suffered an apparent right shoulder injury on a play at the plate during Monday's game against the Phillies, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.
On a night when the Rockies were dealing with a short-handed bench, Freeland was called upon to pinch run in the top of the ninth inning and was involved in a collision at the plate with Philly pitcher Jeff Hoffman. Freeland was in obvious pain walking off the field, though fortunately, he was holding his non-throwing shoulder as he headed for further evaluation. The southpaw will be considered day-to-day until more information on his injury is released.

Rodgers was scratched from the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

Rockies' Michael Toglia: Getting start in right field
Toglia will start in right field and bat eighth in Monday's game versus the Phillies.
Toglia's playing time this season has been hit-or-miss, as he followed a stretch of five starts in seven games with just two starts in six contests prior to his start Monday. He could see a little more action if Kris Bryant's (ribs/back) injury lingers.

Rockies' Kris Bryant: Held out again Monday
Bryant (back/ribs) remained out of the lineup for Monday's game in Philadelphia.
Bryant had to be lifted from Saturday's game versus the Blue Jays due to soreness in his right ribcage and back and he's now missed a second straight start. He is considered day-to-day. Elehuris Montero will be at first base, Michael Toglia is in right field and Charlie Blackmon will be at designated hitter.

Rockies' Kyle Freeland: Ineffective versus Toronto
Freeland (0-3) was tagged with the loss after he pitched five innings, giving up four runs on seven hits and two walks while striking three batters in Sunday's 5-0 defeat to the Blue Jays.
Freeland ran into trouble early, giving up one run in the first inning and then two more in the third frame. The Blue Jays added one more run in the fifth inning before his day came to an end. The left-hander once again struggled to keep the opponent off the basepaths, allowing at least eight batters to reach for the fourth consecutive start to open the 2024 campaign. Freeland has yet to pitch into the sixth inning this season, something he'll look to accomplish in his next projected start Saturday at home versus the Mariners.

Rockies' Kris Bryant: Not starting Sunday
Bryant (back/ribs) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.
Bryant was removed in the fourth inning of Saturday's 5-3 loss after experiencing soreness in his right ribs and back, but at this stage, Rockies manager Bud Black isn't expecting the 32-year-old to miss much time, according to the Associated Press. The four-time All-Star's injury stems from when he twisted around and crashed into the outfield wall after making a catch on a deep drive off the bat of Vladimir Guerrero in the first inning. Bryant was able to stay in the game initially and doubled in his at-bat in the second inning, but he struck out in his next at-bat in the fourth inning and was pulled in the bottom of the frame when his back stiffened up. Consider Bryant day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener in Philadelphia.

Rockies' Brendan Rodgers: Production picking up
Rodgers went 1-for-4 with two RBI on Saturday against the Blue Jays.
Rodgers' performance was far from perfect, as he also struck out three times. However, with his timely two-RBI knock in the sixth inning, he extended his hitting streak to three games while also tallying at least one hit in four of his last five contests. Though there's been some positive of late for Rodgers, he still has a poor .222/.250/.333 line across 56 plate appearances to begin the campaign.

Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Smacks third homer
Doyle went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday against the Blue Jays.
Doyle has had a productive weekend series against the Blue Jays, as he's gone 4-for-9 with three runs scored, a homer and two RBI. He now has three long balls and a .909 OPS for the season but surprisingly has only one stolen base attempt. While Doyle's production may be coming in a different form than projected, he's nevertheless had a primarily positive start to the campaign.

Rockies' Dakota Hudson: Falls to 0-3 with loss in Toronto
Hudson (0-3) took the loss to the Blue Jays on Saturday, allowing five runs on five hits and three walks while striking out five over six innings.
All of the damage was done in the first inning, with the big blow being a grand slam off the bat of Daulton Varsho. Hudson settled in from there and now has a respectable 4.15 ERA and 1.27 WHIP through 17.1 innings this season, though he's made just one of his three starts so far at the notoriously hitter-friendly Coors Field. He should be considered a volatile and risky option given his lack of whiffs.

Rockies' Kris Bryant: Dealing with back issues
Bryant left Saturday's game against Toronto due to back tightness, Kelsey Wingert-Linch of AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain reports.
Bryant's back reportedly tightened up on him after he collided with the outfield wall while making a catch in the first inning of Saturday's contest. He played a few more innings afterward but had to come out of the game in the fourth inning. The severity of his back injury remains unknown, but he should be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Rockies' Kris Bryant: Exits early Saturday
Bryant was removed early from Saturday's game against the Blue Jays, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Bryant crashed into the outfield wall while making a catch during the first inning, but he wasn't pulled from the game until the fourth. It's unclear at the moment if his removal had anything to do with his collision, but the Rockies should offer more information in the near future. In the meantime, Michael Toglia will fill in as Colorado's right fielder.
