Rumfield went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI on Wednesday against the Padres.
Rumfield drove in one run with a single in the fourth inning, and he followed that up with a run-scoring double four frames later. He's struggled mightily since a hot start to the season, collecting only eight hits across his last 51 at-bats with six RBI and one run scored. Positively, Rumfield has only struck out 16.8 percent of the time across 95 plate appearances to begin the season.

Rockies' Mickey Moniak: Seven-game hitting streak
Rotowire
Moniak went 2-for-4 with two doubles, one RBI and one run scored Wednesday against the Padres.
Moniak played a key role in a four-run second inning for the Rockies, delivering an RBI double before coming around to score. The knock extended his hitting streak to seven games, during which he's gone 9-for-26 with five doubles, one home run, four RBI and five runs scored. Five of those contests have come at Coors Field, but Moniak has also maintained a .806 OPS across 23 plate appearances on the road early in the new campaign.

Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Three extra-base hits in win
Rotowire
Goodman went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, two doubles, a walk and two total runs scored in Wednesday's 8-3 win over the Padres.
Goodman has four homers and five doubles over his last eight games, batting .303 (10-for-33) in that span. He's been one of the best hitting options behind the dish so far this season, batting .264 with an .880 OPS, six homers, nine RBI, 17 runs scored, six doubles and a stolen base over 24 contests. Goodman was good for 31 homers and 91 RBI over 144 contests in 2025, and while the run production is lagging a bit this year, the power is still there despite a 37.1 percent strikeout rate.
Sugano (2-1) allowed a run on five hits and a walk while striking out four over 5.2 innings to earn the win over the Padres on Wednesday.
Sugano threw 64 of 101 pitches for strikes in this outing. He came up an out short of a quality start, but this is the third time in five starts this season he's limited an opponent to one run. He also avoided giving up a home run for the first time. Sugano has a 3.42 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 19:6 K:BB over 26.1 innings, so he's been more effective than dominant to begin his first year with the Rockies. The right-hander is projected to make his next start on the road versus the Reds.

Rockies' Kyle Freeland: Tosses 41 pitches in sim game
Rotowire
Freeland (shoulder) threw 41 pitches in a simulated game Wednesday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Freeland utilized his entire arsenal and told reporters after the session that he had no issues with his shoulder. The 32-year-old southpaw is eligible to be activated off the 15-day injured list April 28, and it looks like he'll be ready to return to major-league action at that time, barring any setbacks.

Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Exiting lineup Wednesday
Rotowire
Tovar is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Padres.
Tovar has gone just 5-for-36 at the plate across his last 11 games, so he will get a breather to regroup. Willi Castro will receive the nod at shortstop for Colorado and will occupy the No. 8 spot in the batting order.

Rotowire
Doyle is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.
Doyle will receive a day off after going just 2-for-14 with a 0:4 BB:K so far during the Rockies' homestand. Jake McCarthy will patrol center field and bat ninth in Doyle's stead.

Rockies' Tyler Freeman: Returns to Colorado lineup
Rotowire
Freeman (illness) will start at designated hitter and bat cleanup in Wednesday's contest versus the Padres.
Freeman was removed from Monday's game due to an illness and didn't play Tuesday, but he'll give it a go Wednesday. The 26-year-old is slashing .294/.385/.294 with a pair of stolen bases over his first 40 plate appearances this season.
Rockies' Chase Dollander: Saddled with tough-luck loss
Rotowire
Dollander (2-2) took the loss against the Padres on Tuesday, allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out nine across six innings.
Dollander followed Jimmy Herget on Tuesday, with Herget setting the tone by striking out the side in the first inning. Dollander was dominant himself for most of his outing, fanning six consecutive batters at one point, before he ran into trouble in the sixth and walked in a run with the bases loaded. While that was the only run he gave up, Dollander didn't get enough support from his teammates to avoid the loss. After giving up four earned runs and three homers in his first outing of the season against the Blue Jays on March 30, Dollander has posted a 1.71 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 27:5 K:BB over his last five games (over 21 innings). His next appearance is tentatively slated for this weekend on the road against the Mets, and it seems likely that he'll follow an opener for that contest.

Rockies' Luis Peralta: DFA'd by Colorado
Rotowire
The Rockies designated Peralta for assignment Tuesday.
The left-hander missed out on Colorado's Opening Day roster and is now losing his place on the 40-man roster after surrendering 14 earned runs with a 14:13 K:BB over 7.1 innings with Triple-A Albuquerque this season. Peralta also struggled in the big leagues last year with a 9.47 ERA and 2.32 WHIP in 22 appearances.

Rockies' Blas Castano: Claimed by Colorado
Rotowire
The Rockies claimed Castano off waivers Tuesday and optioned him to Triple-A Albuquerque.
Castano was designated for assignment by the Mariners last week but will maintain a spot on a 40-man roster with the Rockies. The right-hander opened this season at the Triple-A level and has given up one earned run with a 4:1 K:BB across 6.1 innings.

Rockies' Tyler Freeman: Not in Tuesday's lineup
Rotowire
Freeman (illness) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Padres.
Freeman was forced to depart Monday's contest against the Dodgers due to illness. He's considered day-to-day. It will be Jordan Beck and Mickey Moniak holding down the corner-outfield spots for the Rockies on Tuesday.

Rockies' Jimmy Herget: Serving as opener
Rotowire
The Rockies will deploy Herget as an opener Tuesday against the Padres, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
The right-hander will pick up his third start of the season as an opener Tuesday, with Chase Dollander expected to follow in the bulk role. Herget has primary worked as a high-leverage arm for Colorado this season with three holds and a save, and he's been effective with a 1.64 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 8:2 K:BB over 11 innings. He won't have any fantasy relevance Tuesday while working as an opener, however.
Rockies' Jose Quintana: Unimpressive against Dodgers
Rotowire
Quintana (0-2) took the loss against the Dodgers on Monday, pitching five innings and allowing six runs (four earned) on eight hits and one walk while striking out one batter.
Quintana served up back-to-back solo homers in the second inning and remained behind for the rest of his outing. The veteran lefty was hurt by his defense, as a third-inning error resulted in a pair of Los Angeles runs, but he also balked in a run in the fourth frame and had trouble putting hitters away, notching just five whiffs. Quintana has more walks (nine) than punchouts (four) on the campaign, so his 6.23 ERA and 1.85 WHIP are in line with how he's been pitching. He's projected to make his next start in New York against the Mets.
Freeman left Monday's game against the Dodgers due to illness, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
This may actually be a positive development for Freeman, who was suspected of exiting with a back issue that's been plaguing him for the first month of the 2026 season. He can be considered day-to-day moving forward.
