Michael Toglia Fantasy Stats

The Colorado Rockies designated first baseman Michael Toglia for assignment on Tuesday, according to Kyle Newman of The Denver Post. Toglia's combination of raw power from the left side of the plate, combined with his home environment at hitter-friendly Coors Field, has always been an intriguing mix, but the 27-year-old just hasn't been able to put it all together. The former UCLA star played in only 88 games for the Rockies in his fourth big-league season and was sent to the minors in early September after struggling all year. In his 337 plate appearances, Toglia hit just .190 (58-for-306) with 11 home runs, 32 RBI, 22 runs scored, 132 strikeouts, and 28 walks. He has now lost his spot on the team's roster and could become a free agent this offseason. In 280 career games with Colorado, Toglia has a .201 average with 42 home runs and a 373:101 K:BB.

Colorado Rockies rookie infielder Warming Bernabel (concussion) has been placed on the 7-day concussion injured list after slamming into a wall chasing a foul ball in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Dodgers. The 23-year-old was 5-for-7 (.714) in his previous two games and was slashing .264/.301/.434 with four home runs since he was called up at the end of July. To take his place, the Rockies recalled first baseman Michael Toglia from Triple-A Albuquerque. Toglia spent 86 games with the Rockies earlier this year and logged 36 games with the Isotopes. Though he's had a rough go of it in the majors, Toglia is known for some big power and was hitting .387 (31-for-80) over his last 22 games at Triple-A, including four doubles, two triples, and six home runs. The left-handed slugger could help fantasy managers looking for power, but it could come at the expense of batting average based on his previous stints in the majors.

The Colorado Rockies have optioned first baseman Michael Toglia to Triple-A Albuquerque, per a team announcement. In other moves, the Rockies placed right-handed reliever Seth Halvorsen (elbow) on the 15-day injured list with an elbow strain and recalled righty Nick Anderson and catcher Braxton Fulford. A first-round pick of the Rockies in 2019, Toglia appeared in a career-high 116 games last season and showed off some power and base-running value with 25 home runs and 10 stolen bases over 458 plate appearances. Toglia's .218/.311/.456 line was roughly league average, but he's down to a miserable .194/.261/.361 with 11 HRs, 32 RBI, 22 runs scored, and three steals in 329 plate appearances this season. The 26-year-old's strikeout rate has soared from 32.1% to 38.3% since 2024, which makes his struggles unsurprising. Toglia has gotten the vast majority of starts at first base for the Rockies this year, but Warming Bernabel has taken over the job since they promoted him on July 26.

Colorado Rockies first baseman Michael Toglia had a big day in his team's 6-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on Sunday. Toglia went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk to help power his team to the win over the Sox. The veteran's fifth-inning homer broke a 4-4 tie and ultimately wound up being the final runs of the game for either team. Toglia is now slashing .209/.278/.386 with 10 homers, 19 runs, 30 RBI, and three stolen bases on the season. He has been on a modest hot streak of late, hitting .304 over his past seven games. Toglia will need to hit more consistently to merit a spot on most fantasy rosters.

Colorado Rockies first baseman Michael Toglia won't be in the team's lineup for their home series finale with the Houston Astros. The 26-year-old will get a routine day of rest after suiting up for the previous 15 games. Orlando Arcia will get the start at first base and bat seventh for Colorado against southpaw Brandon Walter. Toglia has struggled in 2025 to the tune of a .202/.263/.368 triple slash with ten home runs and three steals. It's a far cry from the 25/10 he sported a season ago, and an extended hot streak would be required for him to challenge those figures. The switch-hitting former first-round pick has seen a decline in the quality of his contact and plate discipline compared to 2024.

Colorado Rockies first baseman Michael Toglia had a nice game at the plate in Tuesday's 10-6 win over the Nationals. Toglia went 3-for-5 with a single, a solo home run, a two-run HR, and a strikeout. The 26-year-old broke a 1-1 tie in the fourth inning, crushing a Michael Soroka fastball into the right-center seats. He then contributed one of four seventh-inning HR in the right-field bullpen. Toglia was sent down to Triple-A Albuquerque several weeks ago due to a poor offensive start, but he has four hits in his first two games back with the Rockies. He is now slashing .205/.273/.385 with eight HR, 24 RBI, and two stolen bases in 216 plate appearances this season.

The Colorado Rockies announced that they have designated first baseman Keston Hiura for assignment at Triple-A Albuquerque and recalled first baseman Michael Toglia to the big-league roster. A few weeks ago, Toglia was optioned to the Isotopes after compiling an abysmal .194/.266/.349 slash line through 54 games. With Hiura failing to perform much better (.222/.333/.278) through his first eight appearances, and Toglia batting a fine .273 (12-for-44) in Triple-A, Colorado reversed the transaction. The former No. 23 overall pick should step back into an everyday role at first base for the Rockies with the hopes that his brief demotion breaks him out of an early-season slump.

The Colorado Rockies have optioned first baseman Michael Toglia to Triple-A Albuquerque. In a corresponding move, the Rockies have recalled infielder Keston Hiura from Triple-A. Toglia has had a disappointing start to the campaign. Through his first 54 contests, Toglia posted a low .194/.266/.349 slash line with nine doubles, one triple, and six home runs. He held a high 39.1% strikeout rate, which placed him in the first percentile among qualified hitters. He also generated a low .276 xwOBA, .205 xBA, and a .358 xSLG, which place him in the seventh, second, and 17th percentiles. Hiura has spent the entire campaign in the minor leagues. Through 46 games with Triple-A Albuquerque, Hiura held a .243/.360/.467 line with nine home runs. Fantasy managers in NL-only leagues should consider adding Hiura as a depth option as he could carve out a starting role in Colorado.

Colorado Rockies interim head coach Warren Schaeffer said that first baseman Michael Toglia was out of the starting lineup for the second straight day for the series finale on Thursday against the Philadelphia Phillies as the team works with him to hone his swing and approach. There's no denying that the 6-foot-5, 226-pound left-handed hitter has plenty of power to spare, but he's struck out a league-leading 71 times in his 184 plate appearances so far in his fourth year in the big leagues in 2025. The 26-year-old first baseman has also missed three of the last six games while he works through his struggles at the plate. Toglia is barely hitting over .200 with six home runs, 19 RBI, 14 runs scored and two steals in 47 games for the last-place Rockies. He's gone 11-for-61 (.180) with three homers, six RBI, 10 walks and 30 strikeouts in 18 games in May.

Colorado Rockies second baseman Adael Amador, first baseman Michael Toglia and outfielder Mickey Moniak are all on the bench for Thursday's series finale at Coors Field against the Philadelphia Phillies and left-hander Ranger Suarez. Aaron Schunk is at the keystone and is hitting eighth, Kyle Farmer is playing first base and batting seventh, and Tyler Freeman is in right field and in the six-hole. Freeman is the only one of the trio that has faced Suarez in his career, and he's gone hitless in seven at-bats. Amador will take a seat after starting each of the last six games. The young infielder has hit just .158 (12-for-76) with a homer and steal as the regular second baseman. The switch-hitting Toglia will sit for a second straight game and could continue to lose more playing time while leading the league with 71 strikeouts in 166 at-bats.
