COLORADO ROCKIES NEWS

Ryan Rolison - Outrighted to Albuquerque The Rockies sent Rolison (undisclosed) outright to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

Impact Rolison missed nearly all of last season due to injury, pitching just five innings with Albuquerque across two starts and giving up seven runs in the process. The 26-year-old southpaw hasn't pitched a full season since 2021, and he'll likely need to improve upon his 6.57 ERA at Triple-A before reclaiming a spot on Colorado's 40-man roster.

Ty Blach - Outrighted to Triple-A Blach went unclaimed off waivers Wednesday and was outrighted to Triple-A Albuquerque

Impact Blach posted a 5.54 ERA and 1.64 WHIP through 74 innings in 2023, and he'll have the opportunity to elect free agency in the offseason. The 32-year-old southpaw holds a 5.66 ERA since 2022, though playing his home games at Coors Field may have contributed to his inflated numbers over the past two seasons.

Harold Castro - Sent outright to minors The Rockies sent Castro outright to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

Impact Castro slashed .252/.275/.314 with 31 RBI across 270 plate appearances with the Rockies in 2023, and he will remain in the organization after clearing waivers. Barring a significant turnaround, the 29-year-old infielder seems unlikely to have a significant role with Colorado in 2024.

Austin Wynns - Removed from 40-man roster Wynns cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

Impact The Rockies are doing some cleanup on their 40-man roster and Wynns is one of the casualties. He has the ability to elect free agency if he so chooses.

Matt Carasiti - Outrighted to Triple-A Carasiti cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

Impact Carasiti is no longer on the Rockies' 40-man roster but will remain in the organization. The right-handed reliever has posted a 6.89 ERA over 46 appearances across parts of three major-league seasons.

Impact Seabold coughed up two runs in the second inning before turning in three scoreless frames. He entered the contest after Brent Suter threw one inning as the opener. Seabold has yielded 13 runs over 9.2 MLB innings since the start of August and ended his 2023 campaign with a 7.52 ERA across 87.1 frames.

Brent Suter - Opening season finale Suter will start Sunday's game against the Twins, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact The soft-tossing lefty will open Sunday's series finale instead of previously scheduled starter Chase Anderson (undisclosed). Suter has a 3.42 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 54:25 K:BB across 68.1 innings and will attempt to finish his contract year on a positive note.

Chase Anderson - Scratched Sunday Anderson is no longer scheduled to start Sunday against the Twins, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazettereports.

Impact The right-hander was penciled in to start the final game of the season for Colorado, but lefty reliever Brent Suter will instead open the contest. It's unclear if Anderson suffered some sort of injury or if manager Bud Black simply decided to go in a different direction. The 35-year-old has a 5.42 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 64:33 K:BB over 86.1 innings this year and will be a free agent this offseason.

Elias Díaz - Sitting for season finale Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Impact The 32-year-old started the first two games versus Minnesota but will sit for the series and season finale Sunday. Barring an appearance off the bench, Diaz will close the campaign with a .266/.314/.408 slash line with 14 homers and 72 RBI in 140 contests as he enters the final year of his contract in 2024. Austin Wynns is catching for Chase Anderson in the season finale.

Brenton Doyle - Homers, steals base Doyle went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and one steal in Saturday's loss to the Twins.

Impact Doyle came through late for the Rockies, delivering a two-run homer in the seventh inning before plating another run on an RBI single in the eighth. Doyle has now logged three or more RBI in two of his last three games, a span in which he's batting 5-for-13 (.384).

Karl Kauffmann - Rocked by Twins Kauffmann (2-5) took the loss in Saturday's 14-6 loss against the Twins. He allowed eight runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out two over 4.1 innings.

Impact Kauffman worked the second leg of the Rockies bullpen game Saturday, following up Matt Koch's scoreless first by allowing eight runs across 4.1 frames. A majority of the damage was done in the third inning, where Trevor Larnach smacked a grand slam to plate Alex Kiriloff, Donovan Solano and Matt Wallner. With just one day left in the regular season, it appears Kauffman will finish his rookie campaign with a 2-5 record, an 8.23 ERA and a 16:16 K:BB over 35 innings.

Matt Koch - Opening bullpen game Koch will be the first pitcher on the mound in what's expected to be a bullpen game for the Rockies against the Twins on Saturday, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Koch hasn't pitched more than two innings in any of his 37 relief appearances this season, so don't expect him to last much longer than that this time around. The Rockies haven't announced who (if anyone) will be tasked with handling the bulk relief role behind him.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ryan McMahon - Out of lineup McMahon will be on the bench for Saturday's game against Minnesota, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact McMahon took a slight step back at the plate this season, with his strikeout rate spiking to 31.5 percent while his wRC+ dipped to 89. With the boost from Coors Field, however, that still adds up to a respectable .241/.324/.434 slash line with 23 homers. He'll hit the bench for the fourth time in seven games, with Alan Trejo starting at third base.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Kris Bryant - Returns to lineup Bryant (illness) will bat cleanup and play first base Saturday against the Twins, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact An illness had kept Bryant off the field for the previous three days, but he'll get the chance to play another game or two before the end of the regular season. Even if he appears in both of Colorado's remaining contests, he'll reach just 80 games on the season, meaning he won't have appeared in even half of the Rockies' games in either of the first two years of his seven-year, $182 million deal.
