Ethan Holliday to Undergo Season-Ending Foot Surgery

Colorado Rockies infielder Ethan Holliday (foot) will undergo season-ending surgery after suffering a left foot stress fracture. This is a tough break for the 19-year-old stud. Through 33 games, Holliday was slashing .262/.395/.557 with nine home runs and 32 RBI with Low-A Fresno. Holliday was the fourth overall selection during the 2025 MLB Draft. He's currently the Rockies' top prospect and the No. 17 prospect in baseball, according to MLB Pipeline. The expectation is that Holliday will be fully healed and ready to go for Spring Training.

Charlie Condon Sees Stash Value Soar During Nine-Game Hitting Streak

Colorado Rockies top prospect Charlie Condon has seen his stash upside soar over the past week amid his incredible performance at the plate. Over his last nine games, Condon has tallied at least one hit in all these games while carrying an overall .333/.436/.667 line with a 1.103 OPS. During this nine-game stretch, the former George standout has hit five doubles and gone deep twice. This is worth noting as Condon was in the midst of a lengthy power drought at Triple-A, as he posted a modest .592 OPS with no long balls over his last 26 games prior to this skid. Overall, Condon sits with a solid .251/.384/.427 line through his first 45 games at the top club. While the team's current first baseman, TJ Rumfield, avoided a potentially serious injury earlier in the week, Condon could still find an easy path to joining the roster, as the team lacks many proven hitters. Given his power upside and recent surge, Condon is a top stash target in all 12-team leagues ahead of Week 10.

Cole Carrigg Remains Elite Stash Target for Stolen Base Upside

Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Cole Carrigg remains a priority stash target for managers needing stolen-base production. Carrigg was in the mix to potentially break camp with the MLB roster but was assigned to Triple-A to begin the 2026 regular season. However, during his first stint with the top club, the former 65th overall pick has done more than hold his own and appears to be the top option for those needing a boost in stolen bases. Through his first 50 games with Albuquerque, Carrigg has swiped an eye-catching 27 bags while holding a .345/.408/.530 line. He has gone deep five times while holding a 34:20 K:BB. While he is not the top source for power, Carrigg could immediately emerge as a must-start option in standard category leagues given his raw speed. With Colorado lacking many options in their outfield and Mickey Moniak on the injured list, Carrigg could be in the mix to debut much sooner than previously anticipated.

TJ Rumfield Returns After Injuring his Hand on Monday Night

Colorado Rockies rookie first baseman TJ Rumfield (hand) is back in the starting lineup on Wednesday after an injury scare to his hand in Monday's loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to MLB.com. Rumfield is at first base and is batting third in the order against Dodgers right-hander Shohei Ohtani. The 26-year-old left-handed slugger was hit on the hand by a pitch in Monday's series opener at Dodger Stadium and was held out of the lineup for Game 2 of the series as a precaution. He's now back in action for the last-place Rockies, but he'll have a difficult task at hand against Ohtani, who has been one of the best starting pitchers in baseball in 2026 with an ERA currently under 1.00. Rumfield, a former 12th-round pick by the Philadelphia Phillies in 2021 out of Virginia Polytechnic Institute, has been one of the bright spots for the Rockies this year, hitting .284/.357/.453 with an .809 OPS, seven homers, 27 RBI, and 22 runs in 190 at-bats. He's been even better in his last 10 games, hitting .345 with five RBI and four runs scored. Still, Rumfield will be a tough sell against the four-time MVP in DFS formats in his return on Wednesday.

Antonio Senzatela • SP • Rockies

Antonio Senzatela Becoming Viable Waiver-Wire Add for Saves

Rockies right-hander Antonio Senzatela continues to trend upward in the back end of the bullpen and is becoming a speculative waiver wire target for saves. The closer role in Colorado has largely been a committee effort, but Senzatela's production has stood out. The veteran owns a 1.13 ERA with a dominant 0.78 WHIP, positioning himself for more high-leverage opportunities moving forward. With Victor Vodnik and Jimmy Herget currently on the injured list, Senzatela is tied for the team lead among active pitchers with three saves. He has quietly become one of the Rockies' most reliable bullpen arms, and fantasy managers searching for saves should monitor him closely as opportunities continue to open up in Colorado.

Chase Dollander a Pitcher Worth Stashing Despite Unknown Timetable

Colorado Rockies right-hander Chase Dollander (elbow) will be shut down from throwing for a few weeks after he landed on the 15-day injured list with a sprained right elbow. Hopefully, rest and rehab can allow him to return to the big-league roster without having to go under the knife, which would keep him out for the rest of the 2026 season and likely half of next year. The 24-year-old may not be able to return until right around the All-Star break in the middle of July, but even then, fantasy managers should consider stashing the young arm in deeper leagues. Dollander, the former ninth overall pick in 2023 out of Tennessee, was showing improvement in his first full year in the big leagues before his elbow injury, going 3-3 with a 3.89 ERA (4.14 FIP) and 1.29 WHIP with 47 strikeouts and 18 walks over 44 innings across 10 appearances (three starts). He was effective primarily in a bulk-relief role following an opener, posting a 24.9% strikeout rate and 9.5% walk rate, which were both improvements after he struggled in his first 21 starts in the big leagues as a rookie in 2024. Dollander is rostered in just 14% of Yahoo leagues right now. Patience will be required.

Cole Carrigg a High-End Stash Option with Stolen Base Upside

Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Cole Carrigg has been a consistent producer all season at Triple-A Albuquerque, reaching base via hit or walk in 43 of his 47 games played. The Rockies' sixth-ranked prospect's season slash line stands at a robust .358/.424/.551 with five home runs, while his speed has helped him to five triples (second-most in the minors) and 26 steals. That kind of multi-category production should interest fantasy managers, and with just a 14.2 percent strikeout rate, the switch-hitter clearly doesn't appear to be overmatched at that level. A promotion to the big league club could happen in the coming weeks, and with solid contact, power, and above-average speed, the 24-year-old has quickly become a top hitter to stash in most leagues.

Promotion Nearing for Charlie Condon With Open Role on MLB Roster?

Colorado Rockies corner infield/outfield prospect Charlie Condon's major-league debut could be right around the corner, as the former third overall draft pick is in the midst of a seven-game hitting streak, during which time he's gone 9-for-28 (.321), including four doubles and a home run. Not only that, but Rockies first baseman TJ Rumfield exited Monday's contest after being hit by a pitch on the hand. X-rays were negative, but if it is determined that he'll need to miss some time, then Condon could very well be his replacement. After the recent seven-game hit streak, Condon is slashing .247/.374/.404 with five home runs and four steals, and although his strikeout rate remains elevated at 25.6 percent, a 14.2 percent walk rate shows that the Rockies' second-ranked prospect has a keen eye. With a potential debut on deck while calling Coors Field home, the 6-foot-5 power hitter should be considered a top offensive stash in most leagues for his home run upside.

TJ Rumfield Leaves After Hit-by-Pitch on his Hand

Colorado Rockies first baseman TJ Rumfield (hand) was forced to leave Monday night's contest in Los Angeles against the Dodgers after being hit by a pitch on his hand in the first inning, according to Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post. It could be a serious blow for the Rockies, as Rumfield is a National League Rookie of the Year candidate. The 26-year-old left-handed-hitting first baseman came into Monday's series opener against the Dodgers with a .284/.354/.453 slash line, an .806 OPS, seven home runs, 27 RBI, and 22 runs scored in 212 plate appearances across his first 53 major-league games. Rumfield will most certainly be sent for X-rays after he was hit by a 97 mph heater to begin the contest at Dodger Stadium. He was replaced at first base by Edouard Julien. If Rumfield is forced to miss extended time with his hand injury, third baseman Kyle Karros could slide across the diamond to play first base for the Rockies. Rumfield is currently rostered in 15% of Yahoo leagues. UPDATE: X-rays on Rumfield's right hand came back negative.

Rockies Promote Prospect Welinton Herrera, Worth a Speculative Add for Saves?

According to Thomas Harding of MLB.com, the Colorado Rockies are promoting their No. 14-ranked prospect, left-handed pitcher Welinton Herrera, to the MLB roster. Herrera has spent the first part of the 2026 season in Triple-A and will now make his MLB debut in the coming days. Herrera has operated primarily out of the bullpen with Albuquerque, as he has made 13 relief appearances compared to just one start. Over his first 22 2/3 innings with the top club in the system, the southpaw has posted a hefty 5.16 ERA with a modest 1.72 WHIP. While his ratios are high, he has flashed solid strikeout potential, totaling 34 over this brief stint. Last summer with High-A and Double-A, Herrera held a strong 2.64 ERA with a 99:25 K:BB over 64 2/3 innings, suggesting the raw talent is there. However, given the growing pains he endured at the top level, managers should only consider picking up Herrera in the short-term in deeper leagues. If he finds his footing, he could eventually compete for save opportunities, as he earned 17 during the 2025 season.

Jose Quintana Exits with Elbow Discomfort

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jose Quintana (elbow) was forced to make an early exit from Sunday's outing against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Quintana only made it into the second inning before exiting due to left elbow discomfort. The veteran southpaw was crushed for six earned runs on six hits before leaving. The expectation is that Quintana will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. Ryan Feltner (elbow) is nearing a return from the Injured List and could take his spot in the rotation if Quintana heads to the shelf. The veteran southpaw can be left on the waiver wire in most fantasy formats. UPDATE: Quintana will head back to Denver to undergo an MRI exam on his left elbow.

Mickey Moniak Heads to Injured List With Ankle Sprain

Colorado Rockies outfielder Mickey Moniak (ankle) is heading to the 10-day injured list on Friday with a right-ankle sprain, which he has been trying to play through since crashing into the outfield wall in Pittsburgh last week, according to Thomas Harding of MLB.com. Outfielder Sterlin Thompson has been called up from Triple-A Albuquerque and is starting in Friday's series opener in Arizona against the division-rival Diamondbacks. Since crashing into the outfield wall, Moniak has gone hitless in 13 at-bats, so the Rockies finally decided to shut him down. With Jordan Beck (hamstring) also on the IL for Colorado, Thompson could see regular playing time in the Rockies' outfield with Moniak now sidelined. The 28-year-old Moniak has been great for fantasy managers who picked him up off the waiver wire this year, hitting .280 (42-for-150) with 12 home runs, 28 RBI, 21 runs scored, and a stolen base in 43 games across 164 plate appearances. He has liked hitting at Coors Field and broke out last year in his first season with the team to the tune of a .270/.306/.518 slash line with 24 long balls, 68 RBI, and nine steals in 135 games played. If you have the room, Moniak is worth stashing while he recovers from his ankle sprain.

Charlie Condon a Must-Add Prospect with Impressive Discipline and Exit Velocities?

Colorado Rockies first base/outfield prospect Charlie Condon has only slugged four homers this year, but he has above-average power upside and an impressive ability to get on base. Through 40 Triple-A games this year, he's slashing .240/.370/.383 with four homers, 18 RBI, three steals, a career-high 15% walk rate, a 25% strikeout rate, and 88 wRC+. His walk rate ranks in the 80th percentile at Triple-A, and he's shown very good plate discipline overall with a 19.5% chase rate (89th percentile). His 105.7 mph EV90 also suggests that he could be getting unlucky in terms of home runs, and his ability to hit balls hard could lead to increased home run numbers once he reaches the hitter-friendly confines of Coors Field. A high-priority waiver wire target, Condon is available in 96% of leagues, and he ranks #2 among first base prospects in RotoBaller's latest redraft rankings.

Cole Carrigg a Top Stolen Base Threat to Stash in Fantasy Leagues?

Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Cole Carrigg is having a fantastic year at the plate in Triple-A, and it seems likely that he'll make his MLB debut within the next couple of weeks. From last year to this year, Carrigg has improved in nearly every offensive category. He owns a .356/.413/.537 walk rate with four homers, 35 RBI, 26 steals, an 8.1% walk rate, a 13.7% strikeout rate, and 131 wRC+. The power numbers are merely average, but he has blazing speed that he uses to steal a ton of bases and play dependable defense up the middle. Most of his reps have come in center field, but he also has 13 appearances at shortstop this year. That type of defensive versatility will help him get into as many games as possible once he's promoted to the majors. With impressive on-base and steal numbers, plus an anticipated promotion sooner rather than later, Carrigg is a must-add prospect in fantasy baseball leagues. As it stands, he's available in 99% of leagues.

Brenton Doyle Placed on 10-Day Injured List With Oblique Contusion

Colorado Rockies outfielder Brenton Doyle (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Thursday, retroactive to May 20. Doyle suffered a left oblique contusion while attempting to make a diving play during Tuesday's game. The Rockies tried to take it day-to-day, but Doyle will need an extended period of time to recover. In a corresponding move, infielder Chad Stevens has been recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque to take his place on the active roster. The expectation is that Mickey Moniak and Jake McCarthy will see increased playing time in center field while Doyle is sidelined.

Juan Mejia Blows First Save Opportunity, Falling Out of Favor in Rockies Bullpen?

Colorado Rockies right-handed reliever Juan Mejia blew his first save opportunity of the season in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the visiting Texas Rangers at Coors Field, allowing a hit and striking out one in two-thirds of an inning. The two runs that scored were charged to lefty Brennan Bernardino, who started the inning. It wasn't exactly the 25-year-old Dominican's fault, as he entered the contest in Denver with the bases loaded and one out. Mejia hasn't allowed an earned run in his last seven appearances since May 5, a span in which he has thrown 8 1/3 scoreless innings with three hits allowed, four walks, 11 strikeouts, two saves, one blown save, and a hold. Right-hander Antonio Senzatela should remain in the mix for saves in Colorado going forward, but Mejia's first blown save of the year on Tuesday shouldn't negatively impact his save chances in Colorado, and he's probably still the best option for saves with the Rockies for fantasy managers. In his second year with the Rockies, Mejia has a 3.80 ERA (3.36 FIP), 1.48 WHIP, a career-high three saves, 28 strikeouts, and 11 walks in 23 2/3 innings.

TJ Rumfield • 1B • Rockies

TJ Rumfield Stays Hot at the Plate, Emerging as Must-Add Slugger?

Colorado Rockies first baseman TJ Rumfield has been a huge addition to his team's offense, and he can give your fantasy lineup a boost if you're looking for some power production at first base from the waiver wire. Rumfield was acquired from the Yankees in a trade late in spring training and earned the starting 1B job with a big spring. He has lived up to his potential through 200 plate appearances this season, hitting .275 with six homers, 20 runs scored, and 25 RBI. He has a .349 wOBA and a .433 SLG, with just a 15.5% K%. Rumfield has been especially hot lately, going 2-for-4 on Wednesday against the Rangers and hitting .321 with three homers and a .414 wOBA over his last 15 games. The Rockies are in Arizona for a four-game series this weekend at Chase Field before heading to Los Angeles to face the Dodgers next week. Rumfield is a solid waiver wire pickup even as the Rockies go on the road, though, since he has produced great batting average and power numbers as a key part of the heart of Colorado's lineup.

Chase Dollander • SP • Rockies

Chase Dollander Shut Down for 2-3 Weeks

Colorado Rockies manager Warren Schaefer said that right-hander Chase Dollander (elbow) will be shut down from throwing for two to three weeks, according to MLB.com. Dollander left his last start on May 14 in the second inning with right-elbow tightness and was placed on the 15-day injured list the following day with a right-elbow sprain. His return is to be determined, and in a best-case scenario, Dollander probably won't be ready to return until late June. It's a tough break for the Rockies and fantasy managers, since the former ninth overall pick in 2023 out of Tennessee was making strides in his first full year in the big leagues with a 3.89 ERA (4.18 FIP) and 1.29 WHIP with 47 strikeouts and 18 walks in 44 innings across 10 appearances (three starts). Most of Dollander's outings had come in a bulk-relief role following an opener. Before his elbow injury, the hard-throwing Dollander had become a popular waiver-wire pickup, but he's now rostered in only 16% of Yahoo leagues.

Cole Carrigg Emerging as Top Hitter to Stash as MLB Debut Looms Closer?

Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Cole Carrigg is now firmly on the stash radar in Week 8 of the fantasy baseball season. Carrigg opened the 2026 season by making his Triple-A debut and has shown minimal growing pains when facing the top pitching of the minor leagues. Over his first 42 games at the top club of the Colorado system, Carrigg has posted a dominant .355/.415/.538 slash line with nine doubles, five triples, four home runs, and an eye-catching 26 stolen bases. During this stint, he has also shown a strong eye at the dish, striking out just 25 times and drawing 16 walks. In 2025, the San Diego State product spent his entire season at Double-A but posted a much lower .237 AVG. Given that Brenton Doyle and several corner outfielders on the MLB roster have not put together strong starts, Carrigg could be in the mix for a debut in the immediate future. His high-end speed makes him a top option to stash in all 12-team leagues.

Brenton Doyle Considered Day-to-Day With Oblique Contusion

Colorado Rockies center fielder Brenton Doyle (oblique) is considered day-to-day with a left-oblique contusion that he suffered when diving for a ball in Tuesday night's game against the Texas Rangers, according to Manny Randhawa of MLB.com. Fantasy managers will want to check back shortly to see if Doyle is in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the visiting Rangers at Coors Field, but there's a good chance he'll be out of action. The Rockies begin a series in Arizona against the Diamondbacks on Thursday, and Doyle might also be unavailable for that contest. Although the good news is that Doyle's injury isn't a typical oblique strain that often requires an injured-list stint, he could still miss some time. The 28-year-old former fourth-rounder in 2019 out of Shepherd University had 23 home runs, 72 RBI, and 30 steals in a breakout 2024 campaign, but he failed to live up to expectations last year and continues to fall in 2026, hitting just .207 (23-for-111) with just one homer, four RBI, and nine steals in 43 games to this point. Doyle's tumble has cost him regular playing time in Denver.
