Carrigg went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Athletics.
Carrigg has been a magnet for extra-base hits so far with two homers and a triple among his four hits over his first four major-league games. He's added four RBI and a 1:4 BB:K. Carrigg is getting a look in center field while Jake McCarthy (illness) is out. Carrigg could stick around for a bit as Brenton Doyle (oblique), Jordan Beck (hamstring), Tyler Freeman (concussion) and Mickey Moniak (ankle) are not close to returning from the injured list, leaving the Rockies' outfield thin.

Rockies' Cole Carrigg: Records first big-league homer
Rotowire
Carrigg went 2-for-4 with a solo home run against the Cubs in a loss Thursday.
Carrigg achieved a milestone in the fourth inning, when he cranked a 418-foot blast to right field for his first major-league long ball. The talented rookie has started three straight games since being called up Tuesday and has gone 3-for-11 with a triple, a walk and Thursday's homer. Carrigg has yet to attempt a steal, but he swiped 29 bags over 57 games for Triple-A Albuquerque before joining the big club, so that skill should eventually show up as well.

Rockies' Cole Carrigg: Strokes triple in MLB debut
Rotowire
Carrigg went 1-for-3 with a triple and a walk in Tuesday's 7-3 win against the Cubs.
Carrigg was called up from Triple-A on Tuesday and started in center field while batting seventh. The 24-year-old flashed his speed in his big-league debut when he legged out a triple on a ball he hit down the right-field line. Carrigg could earn himself an everyday role if he hits well immediately, especially given that outfielders Jordan Beck (hamstring), Mickey Moniak (ankle), Brenton Doyle (oblique) and Tyler Freeman (concussion) are all currently on the injured list.

Rockies' Cole Carrigg: Called up to majors
Rotowire
The Rockies selected Carrigg's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.
Carrigg earned his first big-league promotion after slashing .338/.414/.529 with six home runs, 30 stolen bases and a 27:39 BB:K over 57 games with Albuquerque. Those numbers are inflated by his home park and the friendly offensive environment of the Pacific Coast League, but Carrigg has real fantasy upside with some pop and plenty of speed. The 24-year-old is worthy of being picked up in fantasy leagues in hopes that the Rockies put him in the lineup regularly.
Rockies' Cole Carrigg: Won't break camp with Colorado
Rotowire
The Rockies reassigned Carrigg to minor-league camp Thursday.
Carrigg wasn't expected to seriously contend for a big-league roster spot this spring, though he has impressed during the exhibition slate with a .387/.394/.645 slash line, four doubles, two triples, six RBI and a stolen base over 13 contests. He'll likely open the season at Triple-A, but Carrigg could make his MLB debut at some point during the campaign.

Rockies' Cole Carrigg: Lands spring training invite
Rotowire
The Rockies extended Carrigg a non-roster invite to spring training, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.
Carigg slashed just .237/.317/.395 with Double-A Hartford in 2025 but was able to notch a .754 OPS to close out the last 24 games of the season. The center fielder showed off his glove throughout the season and also recorded 46 stolen bases to show his running ability. The 23-year-old is likely to open the season at Triple-A Albuquerque but could make his MLB debut at some point in 2026.

Rockies' Cole Carrigg: Active at Double-A
Rotowire
Carrigg is hitting .270 with one home run, three steals and seven strikeouts in nine games since returning from a suspension at Double-A Hartford.
A conflict with an umpire led to Carrigg missing a few games earlier this month, but he's still played a career-high 123 games this season. Carrigg's strikeout rate jumped from 19 percent last year at High-A to 27 percent this year at Double-A, but he still showed an intriguing combination of power (15 homers) and speed (46 steals).

Rockies' Cole Carrigg: Suspended at Double-A
Rotowire
Carrigg was suspended on Sept. 2 at Double-A Hartford after getting ejected from an Aug. 31 game against Portland.
Carrigg slammed his helmet after getting called out on an attempted steal of third base and was ejected and then made a scene in between innings arguing with the umpire who ejected him. It's unclear how many games he will miss, but Hartford's season wraps up Sept. 14. Carrigg's hit tool looked stronger a year ago, as his strikeout rate jumped from 19 percent at High-A to 27.8 percent at Double-A while his batting average dipped from .280 to .234. He is an excellent athlete and has logged 40-plus steals in back-to-back seasons while showcasing average pull-side power. A 107 wRC+ is a middling mark for a 23-year-old at Double-A, but if Carrigg can find his way into a regular role for the Rockies in a year or two, his speed will make him valuable in fantasy, at least in his home games.
Carrigg is slashing .280/.358/.475 with 16 home runs, 51 steals and a 19 percent strikeout rate in 111 games for High-A Spokane.
A switch-hitting, high-energy player with exciting tools, Carrigg has yet to be tested with a challenging assignment, but he's excelled at every stop since getting drafted with the 65th overall pick in 2023. At the time he was drafted, it seemed he could end up at any of the three premium up-the-middle positions. This year, Carrig made 92 starts in center field and 13 starts at shortstop, with his time behind the dish seemingly a thing of the past. He has done more damage in the hitter-friendly park in Spokane (.903 OPS) than on the road (.797 OPS), but his eight road homers and .465 road slugging percentage are still encouraging marks given that power was the main question with Carrigg coming into the year.
