Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Beginning year as fifth starter
Rotowire
Feltner won a spot in the Rockies' season-opening rotation and will start the team's fifth game of the season Monday in Los Angeles versus the Dodgers, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Feltner made 21 starts for the Rockies over the past two seasons, but he'll be included in the season-opening rotation for the first time despite turning in a rough showing in the Cactus League (9.92 ERA, 2.20 WHIP, 10:10 K:BB in 16.1 innings). He built up to 85 pitches in his final spring outing Monday and shouldn't face any major workload restrictions in his first start of the regular season, but Feltner's recent form won't make him a comfortable streaming option while he faces off against what projects to be a strong Dodgers lineup.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Notches quality start in win
Rotowire
Feltner (4-9) earned the win during Tuesday's 5-2 victory over the Dodgers, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks with four strikeouts in six innings.
Feltner was granted an early two-run lead but gave it back by surrendering one run on three baserunners in the third inning and a Joey Gallo solo home run in the fifth. Colorado retook the lead in the seventh to put the 26-year-old in line for only his second win in his last 10 turns compared to six losses, while the quality start is his fourth in 19 tries. He concludes his rookie campaign with a high 5.83 ERA and 1.41 WHIP with 84 strikeouts in 97.1 innings across 20 appearances (19 starts).

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Yields five runs in loss
Rotowire
Feltner (3-9) allowed five runs on six hits and three walks while striking out five over six innings, taking the loss Thursday versus the Giants.
Feltner was done in by a bad second inning, during which he allowed an RBI single to Austin Wynns and a grand slam to Ford Proctor. Feltner hadn't allowed more than five runs in a start since Aug. 14, though he gave up at least three runs in five of his last seven outings. The 26-year-old right-hander now has a 6.01 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 80:33 K:BB through 91.1 innings this season. He's lined up for one more start in 2022, a road date with the Dodgers next week.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Gives up two runs in no-decision
Rotowire
Feltner gave up two earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out three over five innings in a 4-3 victory over the Padres on Friday. He did not factor into the decision.
Feltner came into the game with an ERA of 6.05, so the Rockies are probably satisfied with his five innings of two-run ball. Feltner doesn't have swing-and-miss stuff, and he has accumulated only 75 strikeouts in 85.1 innings this season. His chase rate is in the bottom three percent according to Baseball Savant. The 26-year-old right-hander is tentatively expected to make his next start at San Francisco.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Collects third win
Rotowire
Feltner (3-8) allowed three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out four batters over 5.1 innings to earn the win Sunday over the Cubs.
Feltner had some trouble against Yan Gomes, who tagged the Rockies' starter for a two-run single in the third inning and a solo home run in the sixth. The Rockies had already scored four times in the first two innings, so Feltner's struggles didn't cost him a positive result. The right-hander has completed six innings in just three of his outings this year, and he's allowed at least three runs in five straight starts. He has a 6.05 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 72:29 K:BB through 80.1 innings across 17 appearances (16 starts). He's lined up for a home start versus the Padres in his next outing.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Labors in loss
Rotowire
Feltner (2-8) gave up four earned runs on four hits and four walks while striking out three over 2.2 innings to take the loss in a 12-6 defeat against the Diamondbacks on Sunday.
Feltner struggled with his control and issued four free passes in the third inning. The walks ran up his pitch count and led to a four-run inning before he was given the early hook. Feltner threw only 37 of his 70 pitches for strikes and his ERA rose to 6.12 with the poor outing. Feltner has issued 28 walks in 75 innings pitched this season. He is tentatively expected to make his next start on the road against the Cubs.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Falls to Atlanta on Wednesday
Rotowire
Feltner (2-6) took the loss against Atlanta on Wednesday, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out seven batters over 5.2 innings.
There were multiple positive takeaways for Feltner in the contest -- he tied a career high with seven strikeouts and fell one out shy of a quality start -- but he was outpitched by league wins leader Kyle Wright. Feltner's undoing was the long ball, as the three runs against him were produced on homers by Austin Riley and Ronald Acuna. Feltner has shown promise at times this season, but he's too inconsistent to trust in fantasy given his 5.78 ERA and 1.42 WHIP on the season.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: No match for deGrom
Rotowire
Feltner (2-5) took the loss against the Mets on Thursday, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two batters over 4.2 innings.
Feltner gave up three runs in the third inning, and that was enough to seal his fate on a night when Jacob deGrom was his usual dominant self. The big blow against Feltner was a Pete Alonso two-run home run in the third inning, marking the fifth straight game in which the hurler has served up a long ball. Feltner has completed six innings only once in six outings since rejoining the big-league staff in late July, and he has a 5.53 ERA and 1.52 WHIP during that stretch.
Feltner registered a no-decision during Saturday's 4-3 win over the Giants, allowing one run on two hits and two walks with five strikeouts in six innings.
Feltner held San Francisco scoreless through five frames before surrendering a Joey Bart solo shot to lead off the sixth in submitting his first start of at least five innings and fewer than three runs in seven turns. The 25-year-old induced 10 swinging strikes on 86 pitches en route to five strikeouts after averaging 2.5 per start during his last six appearances. The successful outing dropped Feltner's ERA from 6.39 to 5.88, though he'll be in for a tough test with a start against the Mets scheduled for next week.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Hit hard in loss
Rotowire
Feltner (2-4) took the loss during Sunday's 7-4 defeat at the hands of the Diamondbacks, allowing six runs (five earned) on seven hits and two walks with three strikeouts in 4.1 innings.
Making a second turn through the rotation, Feltner surrendered four runs early as a result of a Christian Walker double and 460-foot three-run home run before permitting two more runs on a double and an error in the fourth inning. The 25-year-old has allowed five earned runs in consecutive starts and has given up 14 total runs across 13.2 innings in three starts this month. He carries a 6.39 ERA and 1.48 WHIP into his next start, scheduled for next weekend against San Francisco.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Remains in rotation
Rotowire
Feltner is listed as the Rockies' scheduled starting pitcher for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks at Coors Field.
After getting called up from Triple-A Albuquerque over the weekend, Feltner slotted back into the rotation Tuesday, stepping in as a replacement for the injured Chad Kuhl (hip). Though he picked up the win against the Cardinals, Feltner benefited greatly from some generous support, as he was charged with five earned runs allowed on four hits and three walks in 5.2 innings. With another start on tap in Colorado this weekend, Feltner could be at risk of delivering toxic ratios for those thinking about streaming him.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Plenty of help in win
Rotowire
Feltner (2-3) allowed five runs on four hits and three walks while striking out three over 5.2 innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Cardinals.
Feltner wasn't sharp Tuesday, but he had plenty of support, as the Rockies were up 12-0 through three innings. The right-hander has given up at least five runs in four of his 10 appearances this year, including two of his four home outings. He owns a 6.02 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 41:14 K:BB across 46.1 innings through 10 appearances (nine starts). With Chad Kuhl (hip) on the injured list, Feltner is likely to receive at least one more start, tentatively scheduled for a home start versus the Diamondbacks this weekend.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Re-enters rotation
Rotowire
Feltner is scheduled to start Tuesday's home game against the Cardinals.
Since Feltner wasn't needed in relief over the weekend after being called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday, he'll step into the rotation to fill the vacancy created by Chad Kuhl's move to the 10-day injured list with a right hip flexor strain. Feltner has previously made nine appearances (eight starts) for Colorado this season, posting a 5.75 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 38:11 K:BB in 40.2 innings. Even though Feltner tentatively lines up for two starts this week, his poor ratios along with the fact that both of his projected outings will come at Coors Field makes it difficult to rely on him as a streaming option.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Recalled by Rockies
Rotowire
Feltner was recalled by the Rockies on Friday.
Felner was sent down after serving as the extra man in Tuesday's doubleheader against the Padres. He failed to impress in that start, allowing three runs on eight hits in 3.2 innings, but he could get at least a couple more turns in the rotation after Chad Kuhl (hip) hit the injured list.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Early exit in matinee
Rotowire
Feltner didn't factor into the decision in a 13-5 loss to the Padres during the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader, giving up three runs on eight hits and a walk over 3.2 innings. He struck out three.
The Rockies actually held a 3-0 lead heading into the bottom of the fourth inning despite the Padres having runners on base in each of the first three frames, but Feltner's luck finally ran out in the fourth. The right-hander tossed 76 pitches (46 strikes) before exiting, and he'll likely head back down to Triple-A Albuquerque after this outing, with his 5.75 ERA and 1.45 WHIP over 40.2 innings in the majors this year not making a strong case for a regular rotation spot.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Officially called up for start
Rotowire
The Rockies recalled Feltner from Triple-A Albuquerque ahead of his scheduled start in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader in San Diego.
Feltner, who is making his ninth appearance and eighth start of the season for the Rockies, will carry a 1-3 record, 5.59 ERA and 1.35 WHIP into the contest. He'll likely be bound for Albuquerque immediately after his start, unless the Rockies deal away another starting pitcher prior to Tuesday's trade deadline and have a permanent opening in the rotation.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Set to start Tuesday
Rotowire
Feltner will be called up from Triple-A Albuquerque to start the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Padres in San Diego, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.
Feltner has started seven games for the Rockies this season and owns a 5.59 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 35:10 K:BB in 37 big-league innings. Unless Colorado deals away another starting pitcher prior to Tuesday's trade deadline, Feltner will likely be headed back to Albuquerque immediately after his outing against San Diego.
