Latest news and updates about the Rockies
The Colorado Rockies enter the 2026 season searching for consistency across much of its lineup. For the Rockies last season, most positions were a revolving door. Swapping out struggling players, testing out prospects, and dealing with player injuries all contributed to the overall lack of stability. As the organization continues to evaluate young talent and […]
A common turn of phrase in sports during tough stretches is to simply acknowledge that a team needs to just “play better.” It’s quick and to the point and just vague enough to hopefully appease the worried fan base. However, like many half-baked recurring sketches on “Saturday Night Live,” the phrase can be overused and […]
The Colorado Rockies dropped their 2026 pre-season hype video on Monday morning. Take a look: I know it’s only 30 seconds, but there’s a lot going on here (in addition to the gorgeous shots of the Colorado mountains), and it’s worthwhile to sort through what the Rockies are telling fans about the coming season. (Look, […]
The Cincinnati Reds head over to Salt River Fields at Talking Stick on Tuesday afternoon to take on the Colorado Rockies, and they’ll do so with left-hander Brandon Williamson on the bump. Williamson, who has allowed 2 ER in 4.o IP with 6 K and a lone walk so far this spring, has looked good […]
Today, the Colorado Rockies welcome the Cincinnati Reds to Salt River Fields. Starting for the Reds is Brandon Williamson. The lefty has a 4.0 ERA in 4.0 IP. He’s struck out six and has a 1.00 WHIP. Taking the mound for the Rockies will be RHP Ryan Feltner. Currently, he has an ERA of 11.81 […]
Something that Colorado Rockies president of baseball operations Paul DePodesta said at Rockies Fest has stayed with me. I’m paraphrasing, but he told fans to expect to see players in spring training games playing positions they have not generally been associated with. We’ve discussed this notion of “optionality” quite a bit. (See here and here.) […]
When I first wrote about the Colorado Rockies “Mile High Baseball Nerd Club,” truly, it was just a joke. But lately, I’ve come to wonder if perhaps the title isn’t spot on, especially after bench coach Jeff Pickler answered a few questions about joining a rebuilding team. A marketing major among humanists President of baseball […]

No matter how the 2026 season ends up going, we’ll always have the fourth inning of a who-cares Spring Training game on March 9. The White Sox steamrolled Colorado, 12-3, on the wings of a ridiculous 11-run outburst in the fourth inning. In the words of White Sox beat writer and witness to the massacre […]
The Colorado Rockies provided the following medical updates on Monday morning: Please keep in mind our Purple Row Community Guidelines when you’re commenting. Thanks!
Just a day after the White Sox announced the former Rule 5 draft pick Shane Smith would be the Opening Day starter, another Rule 5 pick takes the mound against the Rockies. Jedixson Paez, who was picked up on December 10, 2025, and was assigned to the White Sox prospects on March 5, will get […]
In his first spring training action of 2026, Kyle Freeland faced the daunting task of pitching against Team USA in an exhibition game on March 4. He gave up a solo homer to Aaron Judge in a two-hit, one-strikeout performance in one inning. Today, Freeland and the Rockies (8-6-1) will take part in his first […]
Bullpens are funny things. They can be invisible when everything is working and painfully obvious when they’re not. Over the course of a long season, though, they quietly shape the outcome of dozens of games. And for a rebuilding team like the Colorado Rockies, they matter more than ever. The Rockies’ bullpen in 2025 was… not great. […]
Scottsdale, Ariz. — Matt Buschmann, like many coaches, is new to the Colorado Rockies in 2026. He came to the Rockies after working for both the Toronto Blue Jays and San Francisco Giants, and has been making his mark on the team right out of the gate. “I learned a ton [in my previous positions],” […]
After beating the Dodgers last night 6-4 at Camelback Ranch, the Rockies will look to take the momentum back home to Salt River Fields this afternoon. RHP Eiberson Castellano (0-0, 2.25 ERA) makes his first Cactus League start this afternoon after making two other relief appearances. In total, Castellano has thrown four innings and allowed […]
The last two seasons have been filled with MLB debuts for Colorado Rockies pitchers, including a trio of young relievers who have made an impact late in games: Seth Halvorsen, Zach Agnos and Juan Mejia. Halvorsen debuted in August 2024, while Agnos and Mejia both debuted in 2025. Of the three, Mejia made the biggest […]

Despite allowing only one hit in three innings of work, Landon Knack was unable to keep the Rockies off the board in what ultimately became a 6-4 loss to the Rockies. More important than the result, Knack struggled with an aspect of a starter ’game he ought to navigate well in order to have the […]
Introduction Last week we began a series of articles reviewing the offseason moves of each National League West team, starting with the worst team in the NL West (and possibly all of MLB), the Colorado Rockies. (Here’s a link to that article). Continuing our NL West offseason reviews, we’re going from worst to first with […]
Featuring in the last game of Saturday’s slate, the Landon Knack-led Dodgers play host to the Colorado Rockies.
Every spring training has roster battles. That part isn’t new. What feels different about Rockies camp this year is who is competing — and why. When ‘veteran presence’ replaces production Last year, many roster decisions felt tied to something other than baseball performance. Several spots went to players whose value was often described in terms of ‘veteran presence’ or ‘clubhouse […]
We’re about halfway through spring training, which means position battles are heating up. Earlier this week, we asked who you thought had the best chance to break camp with the Rockies, and you answered! The vast majority of you believe that newly-acquired first baseman TJ Rumfield has the best chance of doing just that. Rumfield […]
Today, this Colorado Rockies soundly defeated The Athletics 11-6. For game highlights, click here. I was unable to download manager Warren Schaeffer’s comments, so here’s Chase Dollander: Brett Sullivan had quite a day: And here’s Rockies third baseman Kyle Karros (who gave us some “Karro’s taco’s): And, finally, please enjoy five minutes of Rockies highlights: […]
The Dodgers are under the lights for a second straight night at Camelback Ranch, hosting the Colorado Rockies on Saturday. Landon Knack makes his third start of spring, and is expected to be backed by Alex Vesia, Blake Treinen, Jack Dreyer, and Ben Casparius, all of whom pitched often in the bullpen last season. Left-hander […]
The A’s were at home today at Hohokam Stadium in Mesa, Arizona to face off against the NL West’s Colorado Rockies in Cactus League play. J.T. Ginn got the start against Chase Dollander for the Rockies. Ginn got off to a rough start giving up his first earned run of the season on a three-run […]
