Dodgers 5, Rockies 3: Another late lead bites the dust
The Colorado Rockies had a 3-1 when the fans at Dodger Stadium sang “Take Me Out to the Ballgame,” but the two-run cushion didn’t turn out to be enough on Monday night. The bullpen surrendered four runs in the bottom of the seventh, erasing a solid start from Tanner Gordon, who reduced his ERA to […]
TJ Rumfield hit by pitch, leaves Rockies-Dodgers game
In the bottom of the first inning against the Dodgers on Monday night, Colorado Rockies first baseman TJ Rumfield was hit by pitch in the right hand. The rookie stayed in the game to run the bases, and even tried to field in the bottom of the inning, but he was unable to stay in […]

Colorado Rockies game no. 55 thread: Tanner Gordon vs. Emmet Sheehan
Tanner Gordon will be looking to help the Rockies break a two-game losing streak and perform better than the last time he faced the Dodgers when he takes the mound for Colorado in the series-opening game in Los Angeles tonight. After a solid 2026 debut, when he threw four scoreless innings against the Astros on […]
Rockies recall LHP Welinton Herrera, place José Quintana on IL
On Monday afternoon the Colorado Rockies announced multiple roster moves prior to their first of three games against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Chavez Ravine. Left-handed veteran starting pitcher José Quintana has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a left elbow sprain. Quintana, 37, had quietly been one of the Rockies’ more reliable […]
Checking in with Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer through 54 games
PHOENIX, Ariz. — The Colorado Rockies have made it one-third of the way through the season. They have gone 21-32, which is 13 games better than they were through 54 games in 2025. They started off well – going 14-18 in the months of March and April – but have cooled off significantly through May. […]
Purple Row After Dark: Bananas for the Rockies
My kids put up with me watching the Rockies all summer, which is a bigger act of patience than I probably give them credit for. But when Banana Ball is on, they are not just tolerating baseball. They genuinely love it. And I get it. Banana Ball is absurd. That is the whole point. The […]
Diamondbacks 9, Rockies 1: Quick and painful
After three close contests in the desert where the Colorado Rockies lost by just one run in two of them (and won by one in the other), the series finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks went anything but according to plan. The Rockies were bullied for nine runs while failing to get anything going on offense. […]
José Quintana leaves Rockies-Diamondbacks game with injury
Postgame updates: Quintana spoke to the media after the game and said his elbow is feeling “quite painful.” “In the second inning, I felt stress in my elbow,” he said. “It was the first time I’ve felt [that]. It’s really frustrating to leave the game with the loss like that, so it’s pretty sad for […]
Colorado Rockies game no. 54 thread: José Quintana vs Ryne Nelson
It’s been three close games in the desert as the Colorado Rockies play in Arizona for the first time this season. All three games against the Diamondbacks have been decided by just one run. Unfortunately, the Rockies have now been on the wrong end of two of those games. They need a win today to […]
This Week in Purple: Why did it have to be snakes?
It’s been a weird, slow, and kind of boring month of May for the Colorado Rockies. Generally good for just two wins a week, the Rockies are just 6-15 this month after going 14-18 in March and April. The last week has been more of the same. The Rockies picked up wins against the Texas […]
Diamondbacks 5, Rockies 4: One-way traffic
The Colorado Rockies dug themselves into a few holes and weren’t quite able to climb out of them. Michael Lorenzen fought traffic all night, and the offense wasn’t able to string together enough hits to put them over the top. They ended up losing, 5-4. Traffic jams prove costly for Michael Lorenzen Michael Lorenzen battled […]
Colorado Rockies game no. 53 thread: Michael Lorenzen vs. Zac Gallen
After a late-inning rally, the Colorado Rockies will look to win back-to-back games for the first time in two weeks. After starting 14-18, the Rockies have gone just 6-14 in May, tied with the Los Angeles Angels for the second-lowest winning percentage in MLB. Only the Detroit Tigers have a worse record (4-16). They have […]
Hoping to sell: An early look at the Rockies’ fastest path to roster churn
The Colorado Rockies’ roster needs churn, and the trade deadline on Monday, August 3, 2026, is the first real chance to create it. They are in a better place than they were last year. A more functional front office and coaching staff, a more coherent roster, and a few useful veteran additions have moved them away […]
Rockies 3, Diamondbacks 2: Rockies flip the late-game script
The Colorado Rockies came into Friday night looking to do more than play another close game. This time, they finished one. The Rockies (20-32) found a way to cross the finish line, beating the Arizona Diamondbacks (26-24) 3-2 at Chase Field after tying the game in the eighth, turning a huge double play in the […]
Colorado Rockies game no. 52 thread: Tomoyuki Sugano vs. Michael Soroka
The Colorado Rockies are better than they were a year ago. That is true. It is also not especially comforting after the last two nights. On Wednesday, the Rockies carried a one-run lead into the ninth inning against the Texas Rangers and lost 5-4. On Thursday, they wasted an impressive first career start from Zach Agnos in […]
Rockies place OF Mickey Moniak on IL, recall Sterlin Thompson
The Colorado Rockies made roster moves on Friday night prior to their scheduled game against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field.

Moniak joins fellow outfielders […]
Inside the never-ending job of the Rockies athletic training staff
Just a month and a half into the season, the Colorado Rockies injured list has already seen its fair share of residents.

Diamondbacks 2, Rockies 1: Duel of the Fates

Colorado Rockies game no. 51 thread: Zach Agnos vs. Eduardo Rodriguez
After another heartbreaking loss on Wednesday to close out the homestand, the Colorado Rockies are back out on the road to kick off a seven-game trip to face the Arizona Diamondbacks for a four-game series, followed by three games against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Rockies and Diamondbacks squared off last weekend at Coors Field, […]
Rockies place Brenton Doyle on the IL, select Chad Stevens, make additional roster moves
As the Colorado Rockies prepare to start their three game series with the Arizona Diamondbacks, they announced a series of roster moves on Thursday afternoon. Brenton Doyle was injured on Tuesday while making a diving catch, so his landing on the IL with a left-oblique contusion is not surprising. Meanwhile, Chad Stevens has absolutely been […]
Lessons for the Rockies from the Chicago White Sox two year turnaround
The 2024 Chicago White Sox lost the second most games (121) in baseball history. Fast forward 19 months to mid-May 2026, the team on the south side of Chicago is over .500 and in a wildcard position in the America League. Regardless of whether they end up keeping up this pace for the full season […]
Purple Row After Dark: The Muppets take Coors Field
Today marks the 21st anniversary of the premier everyone’s favorite Muppet film: The Muppet’s Wizard of Oz. That’s absolutely a date everyone knows and not a strained justification for talking about the Muppets on a random Wednesday in May. That being said, the Muppets are canonically familiar with the game of baseball but have never […]
Rangers 5, Rockies 4: Texas holds ’em
The weather changed throughout Wednesday afternoon at Coors Field, and the game kept moving with it. One day after being shut out in a 10-0 loss to the Texas Rangers, the Colorado Rockies gave themselves a chance to take the series. They grabbed an early lead, lost it when Texas went back-to-back in the fourth, […]
