Charlie Condon Eyes 2027 Debut After 27-Homer Campaign

Colorado Rockies corner infield/outfield prospect Charlie Condon capped off a strong 2026 season by smacking a home run in his final game of the year. The Rockies' third-ranked prospect finished with 27 long balls in 130 games played, while batting .273 with a stellar .390 on-base percentage thanks to a 13.2 percent walk rate. The former third-overall draft pick continued to strike out at a high rate of 25.1 percent, though that isn't that out of the ordinary for a guy who has as much power as he does. The 6-foot-5 slugger surprisingly never got the call to the majors this year despite a few very hot stretches of production, but that doesn't mean he won't be in the mix for a roster spot in 2027. The 23-year-old has a shot to make the team out of camp next year, and even if he doesn't, expect him to be one of the first high-profile prospect names called up in 2027. The strikeouts could make him a batting-average risk for fantasy, but the pop he possesses will play well at Coors Field, and the right-handed hitter is still a solid dynasty investment.

Connor Norby a Worthy Waiver-Wire Target Amid Late-Season Surge

Current Colorado Rockies infielder Connor Norby got off to a terrible start to the 2026 season while playing for the Miami Marlins, hitting .205 with four home runs across 233 plate appearances. However, the 26-year-old has turned his year around since being traded to Colorado in early August. Across 138 plate appearances with the Rockies, Norby is hitting .300/.384/.458 with three home runs, 17 RBI, 19 runs scored, and four stolen bases. There could be some small sample-size noise impacting Norby's resurgence, as his strikeout rate with Colorado remains elevated at 26.1%. However, Norby has fully taken advantage of the hitter-friendly home environment of Coors Field, hitting .303 in his home games since joining the Rockies. Norby's ability to play first, second, or third base has also helped him secure an everyday role in the Colorado lineup as a utility infielder. In his new environment, Norby profiles as a worthy waiver-wire target for fantasy managers.

Ethan Holliday Will Be Crushing Balls At Coors Field Soon

Colorado Rockies top shortstop prospect Ethan Holliday missed the last four months of the 2026 season with a stress fracture to his left foot and, at age 19, will look to make the most of his 2027 season. Holliday played in 33 games for Single-A Fresno and showed unbelievable promise with nine homers and 32 RBI while hitting .262 with 29 runs scored. The left-handed hitting shortstop is the top overall prospect in the Rockies' system with a 50-grade hit tool with 65-grade power and 50-grade speed. He is still very young and raw, and the injury was unfortunate for his age-19 season. But in his brief time healthy with Fresno, he showed off elite power, which is in line with how he is rated as a prospect. He has the bloodline as the son of Matt Holliday and brother of Jackson Holliday. It might take a few years, but he should be crushing baseballs at Coors Field in the near future.

Cole Carrigg a Priority Streamer Entering Final Week of 2026

Across 348 plate appearances since making his MLB debut in early June, Colorado Rockies outfielder/shortstop Cole Carrigg is hitting .271/.335/.461 with 10 home runs, 48 RBI, 46 runs scored, and 11 stolen bases. The 24-year-old has been a balanced producer for fantasy managers for most of the second half of the season. However, he's been particularly hot in recent weeks. Across 77 plate appearances in September, Carrigg is hitting .307 with four home runs, 12 RBI, eight runs scored, and three stolen bases. Carrigg also has a favorable schedule to end the year, with three games at home against the Arizona Diamondbacks followed by three games in Chicago against the White Sox. In leagues where he remains available on the waiver wire, Carrigg profiles as an outfield streamer for fantasy managers to target.

Hunter Goodman Returns From his Thumb Injury on Friday

Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman (thumb) is doing the catching for right-hander Gabriel Hughes and is hitting cleanup for the team in Friday's series opener at Coors Field against the Seattle Mariners and right-hander Bryan Woo, according to MLB.com. Goodman is back in action to begin the weekend after missing four of the previous five games with a right-thumb injury that has been bothering him recently. It has affected the power-hitting catcher at the plate, as he has gone 6-for-42 (.143) with two home runs, two doubles, a triple, eight RBI, six runs scored, three walks, and 12 strikeouts in 11 games in September. Still, the 26-year-old former fourth-rounder from Memphis should be returned to all starting fantasy lineups as the best power-hitting catcher in the game. Goodman is returning to a .245/.312/.529 slash line, an .841 OPS, 38 home runs, 81 RBI, 80 runs scored, and even five stolen bases in 482 at-bats in 2026. He has never faced Woo in his career.

Willi Castro Won't Return This Year

Colorado Rockies utility man Willi Castro (heel, knee) will not return this season, he announced on Wednesday. Castro is dealing with plantar fasciitis in his left heel and also soreness in his right knee, and he was placed on the 10-day injured list back on Sept. 5. The Rockies have nothing left to play for this season, so Castro has elected to get an early start on his rehab for the offseason. The 29-year-old Puerto Rican switch-hitter will finish his first season in Denver with a .260/.331/.417 slash line, a .748 OPS, 15 home runs, 56 RBI, 65 runs scored, and 10 stolen bases across 120 games played and 477 plate appearances in his eighth year in the majors. Castro's 15 long balls are a new career high. He should be healed in plenty of time before spring training in 2027, assuming there is no lockout, and will return to the Rockies as a versatile defender with a modest power/speed profile. The best thing about Castro in fantasy is that he is eligible at first base, second base, third base, shortstop, and the outfield.

Hunter Goodman Missing Thursday's Series Finale

Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman (thumb) is missing a third straight game for Thursday's series finale at Coors Field against the division-rival San Diego Padres, per MLB.com. Brett Sullivan will catch right-hander Tanner Gordon and will hit eighth against Padres right-hander Michael King. Goodman is currently managing a sore right thumb and is considered day-to-day, so he could have a chance to return to action for Friday's series opener at home against the Seattle Mariners. It is an inopportune time for fantasy managers to be without Goodman in the fantasy playoffs, as the 26-year-old catcher currently leads all MLB catchers with a career-high 38 home runs in 482 at-bats in 2026. The former fourth-rounder from the University of Memphis is also hitting .245/.312/.529 with an .841 OPS, 81 RBI, 80 runs scored, and five stolen bases. Hopefully he will be able to return for the Rockies this weekend against Seattle.

Hunter Goodman Out Again With Thumb Injury

Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman (thumb) remains sidelined for Wednesday's contest at Coors Field against the division-rival San Diego Padres, according to MLB.com. Braxton Fulford is doing the catching for right-hander Mason Adams and is hitting eighth against Padres left-hander Robbie Ray. Goodman is considered day-to-day with a thumb injury, but this will be his second straight missed game. The 26-year-old has missed three of the team's last four games, and with the Rockies having nothing left to play for, they are not going to put him in harm's way. The former fourth-rounder from the University of Memphis has become an elite power-hitting catcher over the last couple of seasons. Goodman has been an All-Star in each of the last two years while hitting a combined 69 home runs since the start of 2025. He currently sits with a .245/.312/.529 slash line, .841 OPS, a career-high 38 home runs, 81 RBI, 80 runs scored, and five stolen bases across his 129 games and 535 plate appearances. Check back to see if Goodman is good to go for Thursday's series finale against the Friars.

Willi Castro Gets Placed on Injured List

Colorado Rockies infielder/outfielder Willi Castro (foot) was placed on the 10-day Injured List on Saturday. Castro missed the last three games while managing plantar fasciitis in his left foot. The Rockies finally decided to place Castro on the shelf ahead of Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. He'll miss at least the next 10 days, but it wouldn't be shocking to see Castro held out longer than that. The Rockies aren't playing for anything, so they might as well give their younger players a look down the stretch of the season. In a corresponding move, Vimael Machin was promoted to the active roster. Connor Norby and Ryan Ritter are likely to gain the most playing time from the loss of Castro.

Willi Castro is Dealing with Foot Injury

Colorado Rockies infielder/outfielder Willi Castro (foot) was held out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Castro was left out of the lineup for a third straight game on Friday due to a plantar fasciitis issue, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports. It's unclear right now if Castro will require a stint on the Injured List because of this injury. The Rockies aren't playing for anything at this point, so it wouldn't be a terrible idea for them to get a look at their younger players. Fantasy managers should have another update on Castro in the coming days.

Charlie Condon Has Seen his Bat Cool Off Over the Past Month

Colorado Rockies first base/outfield prospect Charlie Condon has gone nearly a month without hitting a home run at Triple-A Albuquerque. Condon, a 23-year-old out of Georgia, hit his last home run on August 6, but still does have 22 homers and 79 RBI this season for Albuquerque, with a .269 batting average and 95 runs scored. It has been a bit of a struggle at the plate recently for Condon, who hit just .221 in August with two homers and 14 RBI after a strong start to the season. The right-handed hitter is the No. 3 prospect in the Colorado system with a 55-grade hit tool and 55-grade power. Condon was passed over for a September call-up, maybe in part due to his recent struggles, but he still is a call-up candidate this year and offers high fantasy upside because of his strong tools as a hitter in a good hitting environment.

Cole Carrigg Remains a Worthy Speed Target on the Waiver Wire

Across 280 plate appearances since making his MLB debut in early June, Colorado Rockies outfielder/shortstop Cole Carrigg is hitting .262/.341/.439 with six home runs, 37 RBI, 39 runs scored, and eight stolen bases. The 24-year-old's power upside is limited, as he's logged subpar barrel (5.3%) and hard-hit (34.0%) rates. However, Carrigg has emerged as Colorado's near-everyday center fielder and often hits in a premium spot in the team's lineup. Carrigg was also a high-end base stealer in the minor leagues, swiping 46 bags across 123 games at Double-A in 2025. While Carrigg has not been quite as aggressive early in his big-league career, six of his eight stolen bases this year have come since the All-Star break. Between his speed upside and his hitter-friendly home environment in Colorado, Carrigg carries clear waiver wire appeal.

TJ Rumfield • 1B • Rockies

TJ Rumfield Remains an Excellent Source of Batting Average

After winning an MLB job in Spring Training, Colorado Rockies first baseman TJ Rumfield has been a revelation this season. Across 552 plate appearances, the 26-year-old is hitting .291/.384/.442 with 14 home runs, 64 RBI, and 57 runs scored. Rumfield does not profile as a typical corner infield power bat, as he's posted just a 4.7% barrel rate and a 28.1% hard-hit rate. However, he owns an elite plate approach, logging an 11.6% walk rate while striking out in just 13.9% of his plate appearances. Rumfield is also in the middle of a hot stretch, as he's riding an eight-game hitting streak entering play on Thursday. While Rumfield's production at the plate is obviously boosted by his hitter-friendly home environment in Colorado, he's also hit .290 away from Coors Field this season. For fantasy managers in need of batting average and solid run production, Rumfield carries clear waiver-wire appeal.

Charlie Condon Remains a Worthy Power Bat to Stash

Colorado Rockies corner infield/outfield prospect Charlie Condon had a productive week last week at Triple-A Albuquerque, going 7-for-19 (.368) with a pair of doubles, four RBI, six runs scored, and a 4:3 BB:K during a five-game hit streak. The Rockies' third-ranked prospect is slashing a solid .271/.390/.506 with 22 home runs this season for the Isotopes, but to date, has yet to earn a call-up to the majors. Though his strikeout rate is a bit on the high side at 24.7 percent (40th percentile), the former first-rounder doesn't chase much (19.6 percent, 91st percentile), which helps him draw walks at a 12.9 percent clip (70th percentile), which is something that should translate to the big leagues. But with a healthy, productive big-league outfield and corner infielders, it seems there has simply been no room for him, especially given that the 23-year-old is not on the 40-man roster. Still, the 6-foot-4 slugger possesses big power, and the team likely wants to see how he handles major league pitching before next season, so in anticipation of an eventual call-up, he remains one of the top stash options for managers looking for some power production down the stretch.

Charlie Condon Still a Stash Candidate Despite August Struggles at Triple-A

Colorado Rockies first base/outfield prospect Charlie Condon has slowed down in the month of August at Triple-A Albuquerque, hitting just .218 with two homers and 14 RBI. He has shown better signs with four RBI in his last three games, but he is well off the pace he set earlier this season. At Albuquerque this season, Condon has 22 homers and 79 RBI while hitting .272 with 93 runs scored. The right-handed hitter is the No. 3 prospect in the Rockies' organization with a 55-grade hit tool and 55-grade power. Despite his struggles, Condon is still worth a look in redraft leagues. The former third overall draft pick in 2024 has a very high upside and can still aid fantasy managers across the board in the hitting categories. The Rockies could still add Condon to the big-league roster when rosters expand, and he would be a big help in fantasy leagues.

Hunter Goodman Reinstated and Starting on Tuesday

The Colorado Rockies announced on Tuesday that they reinstated catcher Hunter Goodman (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list and optioned catcher Braxton Fulford to Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move. Goodman is behind the plate on Tuesday to catch right-hander Mason Adams and will bat in the three-hole against Washington Nationals left-hander Andrew Alvarez. The All-Star backstop returned quickly from the IL after suffering a strained left shoulder in the middle of August. Fantasy managers will want to get the power-hitting right-handed backstop in their fantasy lineups immediately now that he is back, even though he went 5-for-31 (.161) with a homer and 10 strikeouts in his last nine games before landing on the shelf. The 26-year-old leads all catchers with 34 home runs on the season and has driven in 69 runs, scored 69 runs, and stolen five bases in his 414 at-bats in 2026. The two-time All-Star burst onto the scene in 2025 with 31 homers and 91 RBI in his 144 games played in Colorado.

Charlie Condon Falling Down Stash Rankings as MLB Debut Looks Unlikely

Colorado Rockies first base/outfield prospect Charlie Condon has endured a skid at the Triple-A level and has seen his value as a stash option continue to fall. Over his last 22 games at the top club in the Colorado system, the former Georgia standout has posted a rough .200/.311/.322 slash line with three doubles, one triple and just two long balls. However, prior to this stretch, Condon carried a much-higher .287/.406/.561 line with 16 doubles, six triples, and an impressive 20 long balls over his first 85 games of the campaign. In addition, the Rockies recently turned to fellow outfield prospect Zac Veen, making Condon's path to the majors even more unlikely this season. While another injury could open the door, for now Condon is seeing his value as a shallow-league stash option drop heading into Week 22 of the season. If he is unable to snap out of this skid, Condon will likely not reach the majors until the 2027 season.

Charlie Condon Cooling Off Lately at Triple-A

Colorado Rockies first base/outfield prospect Charlie Condon has cooled off significantly at Triple-A Albuquerque over the past month. In August, the 23-year-old is hitting just .190 with two homers and nine RBI. Condon was passed up for promotion as teammate Zac Veen joined the Rockies, and Condon has struggled since then. It's a major downturn this month for Condon, who has 22 homers and 74 RBI this season at Albuquerque in 105 games while hitting .270. Condon is the No. 3 prospect for the Rockies and has a 55-grade hit tool with 55-grade power. The Georgia product could still please fantasy managers if given a call-up to the Rockies and Coors Field. If he joins Veen in Colorado, Condon could still be very productive despite his recent struggles.

Rockies Place Hunter Goodman on Injured List With Shoulder Strain

The Colorado Rockies announced on Tuesday that they placed All-Star catcher Hunter Goodman (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to Aug. 15) with a strained left shoulder and recalled catcher Braxton Fulford from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move. Fulford will do the catching for right-hander Ryan Feltner on Tuesday and will bat eighth against Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Eric Lauer. Goodman will go on the shelf after sitting out with his shoulder injury since Aug. 12. Hopefully, he will require only a minimal stay on the IL, but the Rockies also do not have any real reason to rush him back down the stretch of the 2026 campaign. With Goodman on the IL, Fulford and Brett Sullivan will split playing time behind the dish in Denver, with Sullivan likely seeing primary duties. Losing the 26-year-old Goodman for any amount of time is a big blow for fantasy managers, as he leads all MLB catchers with a career-high 34 home runs while also adding 69 RBI, 69 runs scored, and five steals in 414 at-bats. Keep him stashed in all fantasy leagues.

Charlie Condon a Top Stash for Power Despite Recent Slowdown

Colorado Rockies corner infield/outfield prospect Charlie Condon has cooled off at Triple-A Albuquerque, going 1-for-17 (.059) over his last five games with an ugly 42.9 percent strikeout rate during that time. Even so, the Rockies' second-ranked prospect is having a strong season for the Isotopes, hitting .271 with a .909 OPS, 22 home runs, and seven steals in 102 games. The organization is certainly taking its time awarding the former third-overall draft pick an MLB debut, though the emergence of other players like Cole Carrigg and Zac Veen has made for a crowded talent pool. Nevertheless, expect the 6-foot-5 slugger to make a late-season debut in the coming weeks, and it could be just in time for the fantasy stretch run. The elevated strikeout rate may limit his ability to hit for average in the majors, but his power potential in the thin air of Coors Field will be a sight to see, and the 23-year-old should be considered one of the top stashes in redraft leagues for home runs.
