  • Rockies' Dyan Jorge: No power at Single-A

    Jorge hit .283 with zero home runs, 10 steals and a 16.3 percent strikeout rate in 49 games for Single-A Fresno.

    Jorge put up video game numbers (178 wRC+) in the Arizona Complex League, but given that he was two years older (turns 21 in March) than most legitimate prospects in that league, we should focus on his production in the California League, where he was still a little older than the typical high-end prospect. There's no doubting Jorge's athleticism and projectable 6-foot-3, 170-pound frame, but he struggled to lift the ball consistently (51.6 GB%), which led to a .056 ISO.

  • Rockies' Noah Davis: Picking up start Friday

    Davis is scheduled to start Friday's game against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.

    After being called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday, Davis worked out of the bullpen later that day in the Rockies' series finale with the Giants, tossing two scoreless innings. With both Kyle Freeland (oblique) and Peter Lambert (biceps) recently moving to the injured list, Davis looks like he'll get the chance to finish the season in the Colorado rotation. Prior to his call-up, Davis made a seven-inning start for Albuquerque on Sept. 13, so he should be sufficiently stretched out for Friday's game. Davis owns a 9.58 ERA, 2.03 WHIP and 18:10 K:BB over 20.2 innings across six appearances (four starts) for the big club this season.

  • Rockies' Justin Lawrence: Blows save Wednesday

    Lawrence allowed two hits and no walks while striking out one in two-thirds of a scoreless inning during Wednesday's loss to the Padres.

    Lawrence exited Friday's appearance against the Giants due to an ankle injury, but he made two appearances during the team's series in San Diego this week. He tossed 1.2 scoreless innings during those outings but was charged with a blown save during Wednesday's appearance. Tyler Kinley picked up two saves over the past week but gave up two runs in two-thirds of an inning Tuesday against the Padres, so it's unclear which pitcher will be used in save situations over the final few games of the regular season.

  • Rockies' Brendan Rodgers: Swats first homer of 2023

    Rodgers went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Padres.

    In his 36th game, Rodgers finally hit his first homer of the season, driving a Seth Lugo fastball over the left-center field fence in the first inning. The 27-year-old infielder has hit safely in seven straight games, going 12-for-27 (.444) with a double, four runs and four RBI, and with the Rockies finishing their campaign with a seven-game homestand next week, Rodgers could be able to keep his hot streak going.

  • Rockies' Chase Anderson: Remains winless

    Anderson (0-6) took the loss Wednesday as the Rockies fell 3-2 to the Padres, giving up three runs (two earned) on five hits and two walks over 6.1 innings. He struck out three.

    The veteran right-hander has now made 16 starts in 2023, plus two relief appearances, and he's still looking for his first win. Anderson has at least given the Rockies two straight quality starts, and over 20.2 innings since coming off the IL in early September, he's managed a 4.80 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 16:11 K:BB. With Colorado playing seven games in six days during the final week of the season, Anderson could take the mound twice more against the Dodgers and Twins, but both starts would come at Coors Field.

  • Rockies' Kris Bryant: Ejected for arguing

    Bryant was ejected from Wednesday's game against the Padres for arguing balls and strikes, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    Bryant voiced his displeasure on a called third strike in the top of the fifth inning and got the heave-ho from home plate umpire Brian Knight. He finished the day 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and ultimately went a combined 0-for-12 with five strikeouts across the Rockies' three-game series in San Diego.

  • Rockies' Elias Diaz: Taking seat Wednesday

    Diaz is not in the lineup for Wednesday contest in San Diego, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Diaz has tailed off at the plate in the second half and has been given more days off down the stretch. He will begin this one on the bench while Austin Wynns does the catching for Chase Anderson.

  • Rockies' Elehuris Montero: Not in Wednesday's lineup

    Montero is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in San Diego, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    It's the first day off this month for Montero, who is 3-for-17 with 11 strikeouts over his last four contests. Kris Bryant is handling first base Wednesday.

  • Rockies' Tyler Kinley: Surrenders walk-off homer

    Kinley (0-3) took the loss in Tuesday's 2-0 loss to the Padres. He allowed two runs on one hit and one walk while striking out two over two-thirds of an inning.

    Kinley stepped into the game in the bottom of the ninth with the score 0-0 and managed to strike out two of the first three batters he faced. However, Xander Bogaerts tagged him for a two-run shot to walk it off for the Padres and give Kinley his third loss of 2023. Kinely has yielded mixed results over his last four outings, logging a pair of scoreless saves while giving up four total runs across his other two appearances, including a blown save and Tuesday's loss.

  • Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Impressive in return

    Feltner did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing two hits and two walks over five scoreless innings in a 2-0 loss to the Padres. He struck out five.

    Feltner made his first appearance since May 13 after being hit in the head by a comebacker and fired off five scoreless innings Tuesday. Encouragingly, Feltner got up to 86 pitches and appeared to be fully stretched out. However, Feltner was never in contention for the win, as the Rockies were no-hit until the ninth inning. The 26-year-old is tentatively scheduled to take the mound Sunday during a road matchup with the Cubs.

  • Rockies' Matt Carasiti: Optioned to Triple-A

    Carasiti was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

    Carasiti tossed 2.2 scoreless innings of relief during his three-day stay in the Rockies' bullpen, but the 32-year-old right-hander holds a 6.29 ERA in 16 total major-league appearances this year. Ryan Feltner (head) has been activated from the injured list in a corresponding move and will start Tuesday's game at San Diego.

  • Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Activated for start Tuesday

    Feltner (head) was activated from the 60-day injured list ahead of his start Tuesday at San Diego.

    Feltner suffered a small skull fracture and a concussion when he was struck by a line drive May 13 against the Phillies, but he is back at full strength and can fit in a couple more turns in the Rockies' rotation before the conclusion of the 2023 campaign. The 27-year-old right-hander threw 66 pitches over 4.2 innings of one-run ball in his third and final minor-league rehab start last week with Triple-A Albuquerque.

  • Rockies' Charlie Blackmon: Not in lineup Tuesday

    Blackmon is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Padres.

    Blackmon has put together four straight multi-hit games, but it'll be Kris Bryant manning the DH role for the Rockies on Tuesday as they take on tough left-hander Blake Snell at Petco Park in San Diego. Nolan Jones, Brenton Doyle and Hunter Goodman are starting across the outfield.

  • Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Takes seat versus lefty

    McMahon is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.

    Alan Trejo will start at third base and bat eighth as the Rockies take on ace left-hander Blake Snell. McMahon has enjoyed a productive season overall, but he is slashing just .190/.264/.310 in 174 plate appearances versus southpaws.

  • Rockies' Charlie Blackmon: Four consecutive multi-hit games

    Blackmon went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored Monday against the Padres.

    Blackmon reached base three times in total, as he was also hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. He's tallied two hits in each of his last four games, a tally that includes three doubles, a triple, two RBI and four runs scored. The majority of that production came at Coors Field -- the team began a six-game road trip Monday -- and Blackmon has maintained just a .696 OPS away from home this season.
