Ezequiel Tovar Fantasy Stats

Colorado Rockies shortstop Ezequiel Tovar went hitless again Tuesday, finishing 0-for-4 with two strikeouts from the bottom of the order. He is now 1-for-13 since the All-Star break and 7-for-48 (.146) in July. The season line has fallen to .195 with eight home runs, 33 runs, 32 RBI, and five steals across 328 at-bats. Colorado continues to start Tovar, but he has batted ninth in all four games since the break. Everyday at-bats only go so far when the production looks like this. His 26-homer season in 2024 leaves some rebound hope for deeper formats, though fantasy managers have already waited through nearly four months. Tovar remains rostered in 35% of Yahoo leagues despite falling out of RotoBaller's current top-100 waiver rankings. He can be left alone in standard mixed leagues.

Colorado Rockies shortstop Ezequiel Tovar dragged a .200/.243/.330 line into the break, with eight home runs, 32 runs, 32 RBI, and five steals in 341 plate appearances. His final 10 games were not much better at 5-for-31, although two of those hits left the yard. Colorado had him batting eighth or ninth during the final series. Not everything underneath is quite as ugly. Tovar owns a .221 expected average and .367 expected slugging percentage, both above the actual marks, and he hit 26 home runs in 2024. The 86 strikeouts are still hard to ignore, especially now that the lineup spot has cratered. RotoBaller ranks him 70th for Week 16 and recommends him in 12-team leagues. At 36% rostered on Yahoo, Tovar is a reasonable rebound add for managers looking for middle-infield power, but he remains a poor fit for anyone chasing batting average.

Colorado Rockies shortstop Ezequiel Tovar has had a rough season overall in 2026, hitting .209/.252/.345 with eight home runs, 32 RBI, 31 runs scored, and five stolen bases across 321 plate appearances. However, the 24-year-old has begun to heat up a bit in July, hitting .250 with a .888 OPS and two home runs across 19 plate appearances so far this month. Tovar has proven an ability to hit for power at earlier points in his career, slugging 26 home runs across 695 plate appearances in 2024. He also has the benefit of playing his home games in the hitter-friendly environment of Coors Field, which should help his current batting average on balls in play of .257 regress closer to his career mark of .320 over the second half of the season. At worst, Tovar's excellent defense at shortstop should keep him in the Rockies' everyday lineup and allow him to rack up counting stats at a decent rate. Particularly in deeper leagues, he could be a second-half breakout candidate to target on the waiver wire.

The Colorado Rockies have seven games at Coors Field this week, and shortstop Ezequiel Tovar, who has struggled this season with a .209/.255.330 slash line, should have an opportunity to get hot at the plate with the Rockies playing in the hitter-friendly ballpark all week. While Tovar has been useless in fantasy in 2026, he is still a career .251 hitter with a .701 OPS in his five seasons with the Rockies. Unfortunately, under the hood, Tovar has been just as bad as his surface-level stats: .278 xwOBA and .220 xBA, but fantasy Managers who are in a pinch at their middle infield position may want to look Tovar's way at least this week, to see if a week-long home stretch can get him going. Tovar is not necessarily someone fantasy managers should be blowing all their FAAB on, but more of a look if injuries are catching up to their team or you are looking for a deep-sleeper hitter for Week 15.

Colorado Rockies shortstop Ezequiel Tovar has mostly struggled at the plate in 2026, hitting .213/.259/.327 with five home runs, 24 RBI, 23 runs scored, and four stolen bases across 274 plate appearances. The 24-year-old has struck out in 28.5% of his triple to the plate and has also seen his barrel rate drop to a career-worst 7.8%. However, Tovar is an elite defender at shortstop who signed a seven-year contract extension with the Rockies in March 2024, both of which help keep him in the Colorado lineup on an everyday basis. While Tovar has struggled in recent seasons, he's just a couple of years removed from hitting .269 with 26 home runs across 695 plate appearances in 2024. There's also reason to believe he's been a bit unlucky at the plate this season, as his .282 BABIP is significantly below his career mark of .325. In deeper formats, Tovar could be worth targeting on the waiver wire in hopes of a second-half turnaround.

Colorado Rockies shortstop Ezequiel Tovar is showing signs of life after a rough start and can provide upside for fantasy managers at the middle-infield position. The 24-year-old enters Monday hitting just .218/.265/.340 with five home runs, 24 RBI, 21 runs, and four stolen bases over 238 at-bats. However, he has been better lately, batting .224 with four homers, eight RBI, seven runs, one steal, and a .431 slugging percentage over his last 15 games. Tovar also went 3-for-6 with a double, an RBI, and a run scored in Sunday's 23-9 win over the Athletics. The average and on-base percentage remain concerns, but his 26-homer, 78-RBI season in 2024 gives the rebound some credibility. At 39% rostered on Yahoo, Tovar should be picked up in 12-team formats or deeper by fantasy managers looking for shortstop help with some power upside.

Colorado Rockies shortstop Ezequiel Tovar (lower leg) was a late scratch for Friday's game against the Athletics with left-calf/shin/ankle soreness from a foul ball on Sunday at Coors Field, according to Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette. With Tovar sitting out on Friday night in Las Vegas, Willi Castro made the start at shortstop and hit leadoff for Colorado against A's rookie left-hander Gage Jump. Fantasy managers should consider Tovar day-to-day for now. Check back to see if he's available to start for the Rockies for Game 2 of the series against the A's on Saturday. The 24-year-old Venezuelan shortstop has been extremely disappointing for his fantasy managers yet again in 2026. Tover had a career year in 2024, hitting .269/.295/.469 with 26 home runs, 78 RBI, a league-high 45 doubles, and six stolen bases in 157 games played, but since then, he has produced only 14 home runs in the last two seasons. He entered Friday's action with a lowly .211/.259/.332 slash line, .591 OPS, five homers, 23 RBI, 20 runs, and four steals in 66 games across 251 plate appearances. Tovar is now rostered in fewer than 50% of Yahoo leagues.

Colorado Rockies shortstop Ezequiel Tovar has hit a cold spell at the plate recently. Over the last week, Tovas is 3-for-21 at the plate with one RBI and one walk. Before that, Tovar was showing off some nice power with three homers during the span of a week. Tovar isn't hitting right now, but does have the potential to do damage at the plate. Fantasy managers in need of a power stick might want to consider scooping up Tovar as a stash option. His cold spell could land him on the waiver wire, but the power potential isn't something to be slept on.

Colorado Rockies shortstop Ezequiel Tovar has largely been a steady producer throughout his career to this point. However, the 24-year-old is off to a nightmarish start to the 2026 season, hitting .195/.235/.292 with one home run, eight RBI, nine runs scored, and two stolen bases across 119 plate appearances entering play on Thursday. Tovar's plate skills remain a major flaw, as he's walked in just 3.4% of his plate appearances while striking out at a 29.4% clip. Unlike in previous seasons, Tovar's quality of contact hasn't been enough to make up for his free-swinging approach, as he currently owns a career worst 7.7% barrel rate. Tovar's .273 batting average on balls in play is significantly below his career average of .327, so he should see some regression over a larger sample size of plate appearances. Still, fantasy managers may want to consider going in a different direction, particularly when Tovar and the Rockies are on the road and away from the hitter-friendly Coors Field.

Colorado Rockies shortstop Ezequiel Tovar battled through a down year in 2025, posting a .253/.294/.400 slash line with nine home runs, 33 RBI, 44 runs scored, and five stolen bases in 390 plate appearances. Hip and groin injuries limited the 24-year-old to just 95 games played. With a career strikeout rate of 27.3% and a career walk rate of 4.1%, Tovar's plate skills leave a lot to be desired. He also makes a good amount of soft contact, as he's never posted a hard-hit rate above 40% in any of his four big league seasons. Still, while not a perfect player, Tovar had been an above-average compiler for fantasy managers in 2024, collecting 26 home runs across 695 plate appearances. Playing his home games at the hitter-friendly Coors Field has also helped Tovar run a career batting average on balls in play of .331, which mitigates the impact of his below-average strikeout rate. As long as he's healthy, Tovar should see everyday playing time at the top of the Colorado batting order, and could be a strong buy-low candidate for fantasy managers at the shortstop position.
