Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Scratched with groin tightness
Rotowire
Doyle (oblique) was scratched from a rehab appearance with Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday due to groin tightness, MLB.com reports.
Doyle had made four rehab appearances prior to the new injury, collecting four hits across 16 at-bats. The extent of the groin issue is unclear, though it's likely to push back Doyle's potential return by at least a couple of days.
Castro is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins.
After a run of nine consecutive starts, Castro finds himself on the bench Tuesday for a second straight game. He posted a .602 OPS and 31.7 percent strikeout rate during that nine-game stretch, though he still has a .292/.388/.472 slash line across 23 contests in June.

Rockies' Sean Sullivan: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Rockies optioned Sullivan to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.
Sullivan will head back to Triple-A after failing to establish himself during his first four MLB starts and accumulating an 8.64 ERA and 1.86 WHIP across 16.2 innings. He'll be replaced in Colorado's rotation by Tanner Gordon (hip), who returned from the injured list to start Tuesday's game against Miami.

Rockies' Tanner Gordon: Returns from IL
Rotowire
The Rockies reinstated Gordon (hip) from the injured list ahead of his start Tuesday against the Marlins.
Gordon has been on the shelf since June 5 due to a hip impingement, but he'll now return to the Rockies' rotation after throwing four shutout innings during his lone rehab outing at Triple-A Albuquerque last Wednesday. He threw just 38 pitches during his minor-league appearance, so he could be subjected to a workload restriction during his first start back in the majors. Sean Sullivan was optioned to Albuquerque in a corresponding move.
Goodman went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a double in a loss to the Marlins on Monday.
Goodman continued his power binge with a 442-foot solo shot to left-center field in the seventh inning. The backstop has now gone deep five times over his past four contests, with a three-homer game against Minnesota on Saturday providing the bulk of those long balls. Goodman ranks second in the majors with 26 home runs overall, and he's already five away from the impressive 31 homers he slugged across 144 contests in his breakout campaign last year.

Rockies' Sean Sullivan: Can't capitalize on early lead
Rotowire
Sullivan tossed 4.2 innings in a no-decision against Miami on Monday, allowing five runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five batters.
Sullivan gave up two runs in the second inning, but Colorado stormed back to take a 5-2 lead by the end of the third frame. However, the southpaw couldn't hang onto the advantage; he gave up a solo homer to Otto Lopez in the fifth inning, then put two more runners on base, both of whom came around to score following his departure. Sullivan has completed five innings just once over his four starts this season, and he's yielded four homers over 16.2 frames. He did at least manage a season-best five punchouts Monday, but with an ugly 8.64 ERA, Sullivan may not be long for the big-league rotation.

Rockies' Tanner Gordon: Will start Tuesday
Rotowire
Gordon (hip) will start be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Marlins at Coors Field, Suzie Hunter of GuerillaSports.net reports.
As expected, Gordon will slot back into the rotation this week after he had been on the shelf since June 5 due to a right hip impingement. The right-hander has struggled to find his footing so far this season through nine appearances (two starts), accruing a 6.37 ERA and 1.56 WHIP over 35.1 innings. During his lone rehab start at Triple-A Albuquerque last week, Gordon tossed 38 pitches over four scoreless innings, so he'll likely be limited from a workload standpoint Tuesday.
Rockies' Tomoyuki Sugano: Start pushed to next weekend
Rotowire
Sugano isn't expected to make his next start until the Rockies' weekend series versus the Giants at Coors Field while he tends to a finger injury, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
After claiming victories in four straight starts, Sugano's winning streak came to a halt last Friday, when he was charged with a season-high seven earned runs over five innings in a no-decision against the Twins. Sugano may have been battling the finger injury at some point during that start, prompting the Rockies to give him at least an extra day or two of rest before he slots back into the rotation. The right-hander owns a 4.80 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 48:23 K:BB over 84.1 innings with Colorado on the season.

Rockies' Tanner Gordon: Likely to enter rotation Tuesday
Rotowire
The Rockies are expected to activate Gordon (hip) from the 15-day injured list to start or pitch in bulk relief Tuesday against the Marlins at Coors Field, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Tomoyuki Sugano is nursing a finger injury that will result in him being pushed back in the pitching schedule a few days, so the Rockies will have an extra spot in the rotation this week that will likely fall to Gordon. The right-hander had posted a 6.37 ERA and 1.56 WHIP in 35.1 innings over nine appearances (two starts) with the Rockies before landing on the shelf June 5 due to a right hip impingement. Gordon covered four innings and 38 pitches in his lone rehab outing with Triple-A Albuquerque last week, so he could be in line for a light workload if he does in fact start for the Rockies on Tuesday.

Rockies' Troy Johnston: Playing time trending back up
Rotowire
Johnston will start in right field and bat sixth in Monday's game against the Marlins.
The Rockies will keep Johnston in the starting nine for the fourth straight game and for the fifth time in six contests after he went 6-for-15 at the plate over the previous week, boosting his OPS to .814 on the season. Johnston's opportunities appeared to be on the downturn around the middle of the June, but he's begun to eat into the playing time Tyler Freeman, a right-handed hitter who should play regularly against lefties but may be in line for more of a part-time role against righties. With Colorado projected to face four right-handed Marlins starters and two right-handed Giants starters at Coors Field during its seven-game week, the left-handed-hitting Johnston looks like a solid short-term fantasy option, even in shallower leagues.

Rockies' Willi Castro: Receiving Monday off
Rotowire
Castro is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.
Castro will get his first day off since June 17, ending a stretch of nine consecutive starts for the veteran infielder. While Castro hits the bench Monday, the Rockies will turn to Edouard Julien at second base and Kyle Karros at third base.

Rockies' Tyler Freeman: Exiting starting nine
Rotowire
Freeman is out of the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Marlins.
Freeman has now been out of the lineup two of the last three times the Rockies have faced a right-hander, as the return of Mickey Moniak from the injured list has cut into his playing time a bit. Moniak will serve as the Rockies' designated hitter for the series opener, and Troy Johnston will patrol right field.
Rumfield went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored Sunday against the Twins.
Rumfield recorded a pair of infield hits to scrape together another productive performance. He has five consecutive two-hit games and is in the midst of an 11-game hitting streak -- five of which have come on the road -- during which he's gone 26-for-66 (.393) with five homers, 16 RBI and 10 runs scored. Rumfield continues to piece together an impressive rookie campaign, hitting .294 with a .377 wOBA across 328 plate appearances.

Rockies' Cole Carrigg: Tallies second steal
Rotowire
Carrigg went 2-for-3 with a double and a stolen base in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Twins.
Carrigg recorded the Rockies' lone extra-base hit of the day, ripping a double in the eighth inning as part of a multi-hit effort. Known for his blazing speed, the center fielder also stole second base after reaching on a fielder's choice in the first frame, marking the rookie's second stolen base in three attempts. Since being called up June 9, Carrigg is slashing .268/.382/.518 with three homers, three doubles, a triple, 11 RBI and 11 runs scored across 17 games.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Logs six innings in no-decision
Rotowire
Feltner did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits and no walks over six innings against Minnesota. He did not record a strikeout.
Feltner limited damage, with his lone earned run coming on a Kody Clemens solo homer in the fourth inning, though the right-hander failed to record a strikeout in an outing for the first time since 2023. With June winding down, Feltner will finish the month with a 4.00 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 16:12 K:BB across five starts spanning 27 innings. The 29-year-old will take a 2-2 record with a 4.42 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 35:20 K:BB across 53 innings (11 starts) into his next outing, tentatively lined up for next weekend against San Francisco.
