DENVER - The Rockies lost a core member of their starting rotation Friday when Chase Dollander, their first-round pick (No. 9 overall) in the 2023 Draft, was placed on the 15-day injured list following his early exit Thursday in Pittsburgh.

Below is a first-person essay from Mickey Moniak to one of his baseball heroes, as told to MLB.com’s Ayako Oikawa-Hughes … Dear Mickey Mantle, My name is Mickey Moniak, and I’m an outfielder for the Colorado Rockies. I know you don’t know who I am, and I’ll never have the

We’re still months away from the holiday season, yet May has seemingly turned into the Holliday season. Rockies top prospect Ethan Holliday (MLB Pipeline’s No. 17 overall) whacked his fourth home run of the month Thursday -- and it’s only May 15. Holliday combined with fellow top-100 prospect Roldy Brito

PITTSBURGH -- A day that started with the hope that came with Rockies right-hander Chase Dollander on the mound for a chance at a series win turned concerning and cold – and not just because of the 49-degree first-pitch temperature and brisk wind that made it less comfortable. Dollander, a

This page will be updated throughout the year with all the latest Rockies injury news and transactions.

PITTSBURGH -- Rockies outfielder Mickey Moniak's birthday celebration was perfect enough, even if he didn’t end up with the cycle. Moniak turned 28 on Wednesday, and celebrated it with not only a three-run homer in the Rockies’ six-run fifth inning, but a double, a triple and five total RBIs in

PITTSBURGH -- Call it a DIY DP from LF. The Rockies’ Jake McCarthy turned a rare feat for a left fielder -- an unassisted double play in the bottom of the first inning of Wednesday night’s 10-4 victory over the Pirates at PNC Park. It was the first 7U double

Pirates phenom Konnor Griffin graduated from prospect status by exceeding 130 Major League at-bats Wednesday, and if we’re going to get a new No. 1 overall prospect, we might as well make some tweaks to the full Top 100 Prospects list. Every so often during the baseball season, we do

PITTSBURGH – The Rockies’ Michael Lorenzen has been pitching long enough to understand what little control he has over conditions that lead to the final result. But the game keeps offering reminders. This time, Lorenzen had nothing to do with Pirates ace Paul Skenes not allowing a hit for 6

PITTSBURGH -- The meticulous offensive message that the Rockies are delivering to their traditionally free-swinging Rockies in the Majors and below is showing results at Triple-A Albuquerque. During a 13-8 run that has the team atop the Pacific Coast League East entering play Tuesday, the Isotopes own the PCL’s lowest

A couple of weeks ago, we took a look at the hottest hitting prospect in each organization. Now it’s time to check in on the pitchers. While many of the game’s top young arms are still building up and expanding their pitch counts and innings, there have been more than

No matter what its record is, every MLB team knows there's always room for improvement. With the help of MLB.com's beat writers, here's one thing each club is seeking to improve this season. All stats updated through Saturday's games

PHILADELPHIA – Rockies shortstop Ezequiel Tovar could at least smile when breaking down what makes Phillies left-hander Cristopher Sánchez so effective. The Rockies managed six hits but no damage, and struck out seven times in seven innings against Sánchez in Sunday afternoon’s 6-0 loss at Citizens Bank Park.

DENVER -- Callie Schaeffer planned a trip to Houston to meet her husband, Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer, for a special day for their children: son Beauman, 12; and daughter Emerson, 10. The day was arranged through the brother-in-law of Rockies clubhouse assistant director Mike Pontarelli, who works in Mission Control

PHILADELPHIA – The way Saturday night started, maybe it was possible that Rockies left-handed pitcher Kyle Freeland could make a fond memory in the City of Brotherly Love.

DENVER – Rockies second-year right-handed pitcher Chase Dollander is talented and confident enough to control a difficult lineup, yet walk away disappointed. Dollander didn’t give up a hit until the fourth inning and held the Phillies to two runs and three hits in 5 2/3 innings of the Rockies’ eventual

DENVER – After trailing for most of Thursday’s game – and having never led during the three-game set – the Rockies came from behind to tie the score in the middle innings against the Mets, then blasted their way to a 6-2 win at Coors Field behind a disputed eighth-inning

When Ethan Holliday took a fastball off his left elbow last Thursday, the Rockies organization must have held its collective breath. The 19-year-old doubled over in pain for almost a minute before taking his base. He eventually left that contest, but he wasn't held down for long. Since returning to

The 2026 Draft is taking longer to sort itself out than teams hoped. Shortstops Roch Cholowsky (UCLA) and Grady Emerson (Fort Worth Christian HS in Texas) have set themselves apart from the rest of the class. The second tier of prospects consists of catcher Vahn Lackey (Georgia Tech) and right-hander

DENVER -- In the wake of the Rockies’ 10-5 loss to the Mets at a frigid but dry Coors Field following a snowstorm in the region Wednesday, Michael Lorenzen’s ERA over his first four home starts for Colorado is 9.64. But according to the veteran right-hander, whom the Rockies signed

The saying goes that relievers are failed starters. If you believe that, revisit how much the Padres gave up for Mason Miller at last year’s Trade Deadline, and then look at Miller’s dominance to begin his first full season in San Diego. After that, look at the three-year, $69 million
