Antonio Senzatela - Goes three innings in season debut Senzatala came away with a no decision Monday against the Diamondbacks. He allowed two runs on four hits and two walks over three innings. He struck out two.
Impact The story of the night for Senzatela was just getting back on the mound, as he was making his first appearance since May 2023 due to Tommy John surgery. He allowed a triple and a home run to the first two batters he faced, but then settled in nicely to get through three innings of work. The 29-year-old threw 67 pitches and could see his workload ramp up in his next few turns in the rotation.

Brenton Doyle - Swipes two bags in win Doyle went 2-for-4 with a pair of stolen bases and a run scored in Monday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks.
Impact Doyle singled and stole a base in the first inning, then did the same in the ninth inning before scoring the game-winning run. Doyle recorded his first multi-hit game since August 29. The 26-year-old had been in the midst of a slump, slashing .177/.185/.196 over his last 14 games, so it was good to see him fill the stat sheet on Monday. It was Doyle's fourth game of multiple steals this season, and he's now one away from a 20-30 season.

Brendan Rodgers - Back in lineup Rodgers (hamstring) is starting at second base and batting fifth for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Impact Rodgers was not in the starting lineup for the Rockies' last two games due to right hamstring tightness, but he did pinch hit for Aaron Schunk in the seventh inning of Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Cubs. Rodgers has slashed .283/.325/.455 with seven home runs and 22 RBI over 200 plate appearances since the All-Star break.

Jake Bird - Heading back to minors The Rockies optioned Bird to Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.
Impact The transaction frees a roster spot for the return of Antonio Senzatela (elbow), who is back from the 60-day injured list to make his season debut Monday. Bird holds a 4.95 ERA and ugly 28:25 K:BB over 36.1 frames with the big club in 2024.
SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
Antonio Senzatela - Activated ahead of season debut The Rockies activated Senzatela (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Monday.
Impact Senzatela has completed the long road back from Tommy John surgery last July, as he's set to make his season debut Monday against the Diamondbacks. The veteran right-hander had maxes of four innings and 68 pitches in his five rehab starts and the Rockies will keep a close eye on his workload in the final two weeks.

Jacob Stallings - Pops homer in loss Stallings went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Cubs.
Impact Stallings has gone 14-for-55 (.255) over 17 contests since the start of August as Colorado's backup catcher. He has four homers in that span and a career-high nine on the year, offering a bit of pop despite limited playing time. Overall, he's maintained a .261/.358/.455 slash line with 35 RBI, 27 runs scored, 14 doubles and one triple over 258 plate appearances.
SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
Cal Quantrill - Pitiful command in loss Quantrill (8-10) allowed two runs on four hits and six walks while striking out two over 2.1 innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Cubs.
Impact Quantrill had a short stay on the injured list due to a tricep injury, but he didn't look good in his return. He threw 69 pitches, with just 34 of them being strikes, while the six walks were a season high in his shortest appearance of the year. There was no report of another injury after the game, so this appears to just be a poor performance at this time. Quantrill has struggled to a 4.68 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 105:63 K:BB through 140.1 innings over 27 starts this season. His next start is tentatively projected to be a tough one on the road versus the Dodgers.

Hunter Goodman - Getting rest Sunday Goodman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.
Impact Goodman will take a seat for the series finale after he started behind the dish Friday and Saturday. Even though he's unlikely to be used Sunday, Goodman paid huge dividends for fantasy managers that streamed him this weekend, as he went 3-for-4 with two home runs and seven RBI in Friday's 9-5 win. The Rockies have been running a three-man committee at catcher lately with Goodman, Jacob Stallings and Drew Romo, but Goodman's ability to play first base, corner outfield and designated hitter in addition to working behind the plate should enable him to handle a near-everyday role down the stretch.

Bradley Blalock - Returns to Triple-A The Rockies optioned Blalock to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
Impact With Cal Quantrill (tricep) returning from the injured list to start Sunday's game against the Cubs and Antonio Senzatela (elbow) set to return from the IL to start Monday versus the Diamondbacks, the Rockies no longer had room in the rotation for Blalock. The right-hander made six starts for Colorado following his Aug. 12 call-up from Triple-A, logging a 1-3 record with a 6.07 ERA, 1.82 WHIP and 20:19 K:BB in 29.2 innings.
SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Beck - Not in Sunday's lineup Beck is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.
Impact Beck started the previously three games and will hit the bench after going 2-for-9 with a solo homer. Jake Cave will enter the lineup in right field and bat second.
SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE
Charlie Blackmon - Heading to bench Sunday Blackmon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.
Impact Blackmon started the first two games of the series and will receive Sunday off after going 3-for-9 with a walk, a double and a run scored. Sam Hilliard will bat sixth as the designated hitter in the series finale.
SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE
Brendan Rodgers - Dealing with hamstring tightness Rodgers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs due to hamstring tightness, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.
Impact The injury will cost Rodgers a second straight start, but the Rockies don't seem to believe he's at risk of landing on the 10-day injured list. In fact, Lyons relays that the second baseman could be back in the lineup as soon as Monday's game against the Diamondbacks. Over the final two weeks of the season, the Rockies will play nine of their 12 games at hitter-friendly Coors Field, making Rodgers a more appealing fantasy option than usual if he's able to shake off the hamstring injury.
SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE
Cal Quantrill - Activated for Sunday's start Quantrill (triceps) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list to start Sunday against the Cubs.
Impact The right-hander has been sidelined since late August due to a triceps injury, but he's ready to rejoin Colorado's rotation after a brief stay on the injured list. Quantrill has a 6.06 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 25:18 K:BB in 35.2 innings across seven starts since the All-Star break.
