Kyle Freeland - Throws 25 pitches Saturday Freeland (shoulder) threw 25 pitches in a bullpen session Saturday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Impact Freeland has been sidelined for just over a month due to a shoulder strain, and he threw off a mound for the first time Friday. He threw at about an 85 percent effort level in Saturday's bullpen session, and he didn't have any issues with his shoulder afterward. While Freeland's recent progress has been encouraging, he still doesn't have a clear timetable to return to action since he'll need to build his arm strength back up.

Mychal Givens - Earns first win Givens (1-1) earned the win Friday in a 5-4 victory over the Phillies, striking out one and giving up a hit in a scoreless ninth inning.
Impact Givens was called upon to preserve a tie game late in Friday's game. The Phillies tried to mount a comeback, but Givens wiped out the threat by inducing an inning-ending double play. The 30-year-old was rewarded for his scoreless effort when Raimel Tapia launched a walk-off home run in the bottom of the inning. After allowing two runs in his season debut, Givens has now registered a scoreless outing in seven out of his last eight appearances, lowering his ERA to 3.00.

Yonathan Daza - Making third straight start Daza will start for the third straight game in center field Saturday against the Phillies.
Impact The Rockies will again move Garrett Hampson in to second base, pushing Ryan McMahon to third and Josh Fuentes to the bench. Anyone with a regular role who plays half their games at Coors Field is at least somewhat interesting for fantasy purposes, and Daza has made good contact thus far, hitting .344 through 33 plate appearances. He was never a particularly exciting prospect, but he runs well and makes enough contact to give him some fantasy appeal if he keeps his job.

Josh Fuentes - Losing grip on starting role Fuentes will sit for the third straight game Saturday against the Phillies.
Impact Fuentes started 14 of the Rockies' first 17 games, but he hasn't performed well at all at the plate, hitting .175/.175/.298 through 57 plate appearances. He doesn't appear to be the team's top option at third base any more. Ryan McMahon makes his third straight start there Saturday, with Garrett Hampson again moving in from center field to second base and Yonathan Daza making his third start in a row in center. That appears to be Colorado's default alignment for now.
APRIL 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Dom Nuñez - Heads to bench Nunez is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.
Impact Nunez hits the bench after starting four straight games. He's hitting a lopsided but effective .211/.268/.605 through 41 plate appearances this season. Elias Diaz will take over behind the plate in his absence.

Garrett Hampson - Hits clutch homer Hampson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-4 victory over the Phillies.
Impact Hampson came up big for the Rockies in the eighth inning, drilling a 411-foot solo shot to left field to tie the score. Colorado went on to win the game in the next frame on a Raimel Tapia walkoff home run. Hampson has been a productive performer so far this season, slashing .270/.324/.429 with two long balls, eight RBI and five stolen bases.

C.J. Cron - Bashes second homer Cron went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 5-4 win over the Phillies.
Impact Two games after smacking his first home run of the campaign, Cron went deep again Friday, tying the game with a two-run shot off Vince Velasquez in the fourth inning. He now has nine RBI on the season and is slashing .200/.313/.382 across 64 plate appearances.

Trevor Story - Clubs first homer Story went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double Friday in a victory over Philadelphia.
Impact Though Story is hitting a respectable .286/.320/.443 on the campaign, he entered Friday without a home run over his 66 at-bats. The start shortstop ended the power drought with a solo shot to left field in the fourth inning to put the Rockies on the board. Story has been among the league's top power-hitting shortstops since his first season in 2016, so there figures to be plenty more long balls off his bat as the season progresses.

Raimel Tapia - Launches walkoff homer Tapia went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in a victory over the Phillies on Friday.
Impact Tapia came up to the plate in the bottom of the ninth inning with a pair of singles already on his ledger, and he proceeded to notch the biggest hit of the evening with a solo shot off Hector Neris to provide the walkoff win. The blast was Tapia's third this season after going deep just once in 204 plate appearances in 2020. The 27-year-old has registered a sub-10-percent strikeout rate on the campaign while slashing .297/.352/.453.

Germán Márquez - Notches quality start Friday Marquez hurled six innings against Philadelphia on Friday, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out eight. He did not factor in the decision.
Impact Marquez yielded a single run in the second and fourth frames but was mostly in control throughout the contest. He induced an impressive 24 swinging strikes and finished with a season-high eight punchouts. The right-hander has enjoyed a steady beginning to the campaign, racking up three quality starts across five outings and posting a 28:16 K:BB along with a 3.45 ERA over 28.2 innings despite making all but one of his appearances at Coors Field. Marquez's next start is scheduled for Wednesday at San Francisco.
