Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-6 loss to the Mets. It was his sixth of the season and the 27-year-old also walked once and scored twice in the contest. The former third-overall draft pick came into the game hitless in his last 17 at-bats, but had his average up to .285 prior to the slump, now hitting .269 on the season. As usual, Rodgers has missed time due to injury this season, and now has a .269-6-29-33-1 line on the year with a .307 wOBA and 83 wRC+. Hopefully he can put together a more productive second half, but for now, fantasy managers can probably leave him on the waiver wire in most leagues.
Colorado Rockies infielder Brendan Rodgers is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Chicago White Sox. There doesn't appear to be an injury here, so this looks to be a routine rest day for Rodgers. As a result, Aaron Schunk will make his first career start at second base and bat ninth versus left-hander Garrett Crochet. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups ahead of first pitch.
The Colorado Rockies activated second baseman Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) from the injured list on Friday and placed infield prospect Adael Amador (oblique) on the injured list in a corresponding move with a right-oblique strain. Rodgers isn't in the team's starting lineup on Friday against the visiting Washington Nationals, but he should return to regular duties at the keystone moving forward now that he's past his hamstring issue. The former first-round pick in 2015 has mostly been a bust for the Rockies since making his big-league debut in 2019, but he's actually having one of his best seasons in 2024, hitting .275/.309/.390 with three home runs, 22 RBI, the first stolen base of his career and 24 runs scored in 59 games played. Rodgers has never had more than 15 homers in his career, though, so he comes with a low ceiling and floor.
Brendan Rodgers To 10-Day IL, Team Recalls Top Prospect Adael Amador
Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers will be placed on the 10-day IL, per manager Bud Black, with a hamstring strain. In a corresponding move, the team will recall top prospect Adael Amador from AA. Amador will join the team in St. Louis and is expected to play second base in Rodger's absence. Amador is the team's top prospect and should be expected to receive regular playing time. The young second baseman is only hitting .194 but has seven home runs, 24 RBI, and 22 stolen bases in 170 plate appearances. There is no estimate on how much time Rodgers might miss.
Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers was not found in Sunday's lineup as the Rockies conclude the Mexico City Series against the Houston Astros. Rodgers has been swinging a hot bat as of late with a .292/.393/.458 line with one home run in his past seven games. As a result, Alan Trejo will cover second base and bat in the nine-hole. Trejo has tallied just two hits through ten games this season and holds a .105 AVG. Trejo has a difficult matchup against southpaw Framber Valdez, who will be making his first start since coming off of the 15-day IL due to elbow inflammation.
Colorado Rockies infielder Brendan Rodgers (illness) will remain out of the starting lineup on Wednesday. The 27-year-old was scratched from Monday's lineup due to an illness and also sat out of Tuesday's 5-0 loss as well. It's been a sluggish start to the season for Rodgers, as he's hitting just .211 without a homer alongside a .553 OPS across the first 59 trips to the plate of the season. The oft-injured infielder has largely underperformed as a former top prospect, as he has hit .262 with 32 homers and a .720 OPS across 333 career games while playing his home games in the league's most hitter-friendly venue at Coors Field in Denver.
Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers will miss his second straight game due to an illness. Rodgers was a late scratch on Monday with an illness and won't be in the starting lineup on Tuesday as Colorado faces the Philadelphia Phillies. Replacing Rodgers in the starting lineup is Alen Trejo who is batting ninth after going 1-for-3 on Monday. This season, Rodgers is slashing .211/.237/.316 with three RBIs.
Colorado Rockies infielder Brendan Rodgers (illness) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies due to an illness. For now, fantasy managers should consider Rodgers to be day-to-day and check back on Tuesday to see if he's feeling good enough to return to action. In the meantime, Alan Trejo will cover second base and bat seventh versus right-hander Aaron Nola. The 27-year-old Rodgers has continued his struggles in 2024, going 12-for-57 (.211) with no home runs, three RBI, two walks and 14 K's in his first 16 games.
Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers is not in the starting lineup when his team takes on the Chicago Cubs and left-hander Luke Little. The 27-year-old has been deployed as the team's cleanup hitter this season but is off to a rough start as he is just 3-for-25 with seven strikeouts against zero walks in his 25 trips to the plate. The oft-injured former top prospect hit .258 with four homers in just 46 games in the 2023 season and has largely underperformed to this point in his big-league career. Rodgers has hit .262 with 32 homers alongside a .718 OPS despite playing his home games in the league's hitter-friendliest park at Coors Field in Denver.
Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers is enjoying a nice spring so far, something that continued in Friday's Cactus League game against the Los Angeles Angels. The former top prospect went 1-for-3 with a run scored on Friday, raising his spring average to .350 (7-for-20) in the process. He has one double and a stolen base in that time, posting an .809 OPS through his first 22 trips to the plate this spring. It's a solid start for the 27-year-old who struggled at the plate in the 2023 season, hitting .258 with four home runs across 46 games, missing significant time due to a shoulder injury. Despite playing his home games at Coors Field, Rodgers has disappointed to a .265 average with 32 home runs and zero stolen bases across 317 career games in parts of five seasons, dealing with a wealth of injuries in that time.
