Chris Flexen - Hit with eighth loss Flexen (1-8) took the loss Sunday against the Giants after giving up four runs on five hits while striking out five over 5.1 innings.

Impact Flexen got off to a very strong start, allowing just two hits and a run through five frames before things fell apart in the sixth. He began the inning with an out but proceeded to allow three straight hits and was pulled in favor of Matt Koch who could not help him strand the inherited runners. Some positives are that Flexen has struck out five batters in back-to-back starts and hasn't surrendered a home run in either start as well, both of which took place at Coors Field. He's struggled to a unsightly 7.19 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 70:34 K:BB in 91.1 innings. Flexen lines up for a road start against the Cubs this week.

Ryan Feltner - Covers 4.2 innings in rehab start Feltner (head) struck out four and allowed one earned run on three hits and two walks over 4.2 innings in his most recent rehab start Tuesday at Triple-A Albuquerque.

Impact Making the third start of his rehab assignment and his second in a row with Albuquerque, Feltner built up to 66 pitches (40 strikes). Per MLB.com, Rockies manager Bud Black said Feltner will make one more rehab start in the minors before making his return from the 60-day injured list and likely sliding into the big-league rotation. Feltner has been on the shelf since mid-May after being struck in the head by a line drive and suffering a small skull fracture and concussion.

Noah Davis - Rejoins big-league club Davis was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

Impact Kyle Freeland (oblique) and Peter Lambert (biceps) have landed on the injured list the past two days, leaving Colorado with some holes in its starting rotation. Davis has a 10.61 ERA, 2.25 WHIP and 16:10 K:BB across 18.2 major-league innings this season, but he could receive some starts down the stretch given the injuries to Rockies starting pitchers.

Kyle Freeland - Officially moves to injured list Freeland (oblique) was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday.

Impact The move to the injured list was to be expected for the left-hander, who will miss the rest of the season with an oblique strain after leaving Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Giants. Freeland finishes the 2023 campaign with a 5.03 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 94:42 K:BB across 155.2 innings. The 30-year-old inked an extension with Colorado in April of last year and is signed through at least 2026.

Elias Díaz - Gets Sunday off Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Giants.

Impact Diaz started in the night game of the doubleheader Saturday, but not in the first game. The catcher will get the expected day off Sunday with it being a day game after a night game. In the series against the Giants, Diaz has gone 1-for-7. Austin Wynns will get the start at catcher.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ryan McMahon - On bench Sunday McMahon is not in the lineup Sunday versus the Giants.

Impact McMahon, who did not play in the second game of a doubleheader Saturday, will not start for the second consecutive game. The third baseman has played in 143 of the Rockies' 148 games, but will not start in consecutive games for the first time this season. Alan Trejo will start in the 28-year-old's place.

Kris Bryant - On bench Sunday Bryant is out of the lineup Sunday versus the Giants.

Impact Bryant returned from a fractured finger Sept 11, but will get his first breather since then. Since returning, the 31-year-old is 7-for-24 with two home runs in six games. In his pace, Hunter Goodman will start in right field.

Ezequiel Tovar - Shines in twin bill Tovar went 5-for-8 with a double, a triple, three runs, five RBI and a stolen base across both games of Saturday's doubleheader sweep against the Giants.

Impact Tovar plated four runs in the matinee, three of which came on a bases-clearing triple. He added a run-scoring single in the nightcap, giving him more RBI (five) in the doubleheader than he had accumulated (four) over his first 13 games of September combined. Tovar's big day lifted his batting average this month from .220 to .276.

Giants vs. Rockies Prediction, Odds, Picks - September 17

Tyler Kinley - Picks up fourth save Kinley earned a save against the Giants in the nightcap of a doubleheader Saturday, allowing two hits and one walk while striking out one batter over one scoreless inning.

Impact Kinley got the call with the Rockies up three runs in the ninth inning and made things interesting, loading the bases on a pair of singles and a walk. However, he was able to get Blake Sabol to pop out to end the contest and nail down the save. Kinley has moved into the primary closer role for Colorado in September, notching four saves in five chances while allowing two runs on six hits and posting a 4:3 K:BB over seven frames.

Kyle Freeland - Likely done for season Freeland injured his oblique during Saturday's start in Game 2 of a doubleheader against San Francisco and is unlikely to pitch again in 2023, per MLB.com.

Impact Freeland initially felt pain in the second inning but finished out that frame and one more before exiting. He allowed a run on four hits and one walk while striking out one batter prior to his departure. The veteran hurler acknowledged after the contest that his season is likely over, saying, "It's the right move to get me out and get healthy through the rest of the season, and go into the offseason healthy." If Freeland has indeed thrown his last pitch of 2023, he'll finish with a 6-14 record, 5.03 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 94:42 K:BB over 155.2 innings. He's signed with Colorado through 2026.

Gavin Hollowell - Snags first career save Hollowell earned a save in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Giants, allowing two runs on two hits and one walk while striking out two batters over 2.2 innings.

Impact Hollowell took over with one out and two runners on base with Colorado leading 7-3 in the seventh. He induced an inning-ending double play, and the Rockies opted to ride him the rest of the way rather than call upon other bullpen arms with the nightcap looming. Hollowell surrendered a run in the eighth and another in the ninth but had a nice cushion to work with and cruised to his first career save. He's posted a 25:15 K:BB over 26.2 frames and has been used as more of a low-leverage option this season, so it's unlikely that he sees many more save chances down the stretch.

Karl Kauffmann - Sent back to Triple-A Kauffmann was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque after the Rockies' 9-5 win over the Giants in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader.

Impact Kauffmann was called up ahead of the day game, pitching four innings in relief of opener Brent Suter. The right-hander earned the win, allowing one unearned run on two hits and three walks while striking out four. Matt Carasiti was recalled from Albuquerque to replace Kauffmann in Colorado's bullpen prior to the nightcap.

Matt Carasiti - Called up ahead of Game 2 Carasiti was called up from Triple-A Albuquerque prior to Game 2 of the Rockies' doubleheader with the Giants.

Impact Carasiti will join Colorado after they defeated San Francisco 9-5 in the day game. The right-hander will replace Karl Kauffmann in the bullpen as Kauffmann heads to Albuquerque in a corresponding move. Carasiti has produced an inflated 7.06 ERA over 21.2 innings in 14 appearances with the Rockies this year.

Hunter Goodman - Playing time slipping Goodman is not in the lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Giants.

Impact Goodman started the first game of the doubleheader but has now been in the lineup for just two of the team's last six games. Brenton Doyle will take his place Saturday night, playing in center field while hitting ninth.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ryan McMahon - Sitting for second game McMahon is not in the lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Giants.

Impact McMahon was in the lineup and hit cleanup for the first game, but had a forgettable 0-for-5 performance with five strikeouts. Alan Trejo will take over at third base while hitting eighth in the second contest.
