Latest news and updates about the Rockies
Jimmy Herget’s season looks ordinary until you start pulling it apart. The ERA says middle relief. The whiffs, strike-throwing, pitch shapes, and post-IL work suggest something more useful. That does not make Herget a hidden star. It makes him a strange, practical bullpen arm with enough deception and control to make the Rockies’ deadline question […]
The Minnesota Twins survived a dramatic late collapse to defeat the Colorado Rockies 9-8 in 10 innings Friday night at Target Field, thanks to Royce Lewis’ first walk-off hit of his career. Lewis lined a game-winning RBI single through the middle off Jimmy Herget after Kyler Fedko, who entered as a pinch-runner for Josh Bell, […] The post Twins’ Royce Lewis walks off Rockies with epic 10th inning hit appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Colorado Rockies were buried early, somehow took the lead late, and still left Target Field with one of their tougher losses of the season. Colorado fell to 32-50 with a 9-8 loss in 10 innings to the Minnesota Twins, who improved to 39-44 with their first walk-off win of the season. The Rockies trailed […]
Derek Shelton’s Magical Arm Barn managed to quickly cough up a seven-run lead, but heads-up baserunning and a nice hit by Lewis sends the fans home happy. (Or starts off tonight’s postgame Ludacris concert with good vibes.) Inning-by-inning notes: 1: Do we get good Taj or bad Taj tonight? Well, six pitches and three outs. […]
The Diamondbacks officially released veteran first baseman Carlos Santana, according to the MLB.com transaction log. That was expected after he was designated for assignment on Wednesday. Santana signed a $2MM free agent deal leading up to Spring Training. A switch-hitter who is better from the right side, he signed to take a short side platoon […]

It could be a long time before the Boston Red Sox truly fall out of playoff contention in the uninspiring American League, but a brutal series loss versus the Colorado Rockies sent an ear-splitting message to the fan base. Yes, this team is dealing with injuries, and yes, it has an opportunity to win back-to-back […] The post Red Sox recall infielder after placing Marcelo Mayer on IL appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Time: 7:10 Central Weather: Poifect! Party cloudy, 78° Opponent’s SB site: Purple Row TV: Twins TV. Radio: head sang “Fake Plastic Trees” and I like it Tonight’s Rockies starter is Tomoyuki Sugano, who, as you can guess from the name, is not Swedish. A six-time All-Star with the Yomiuri Giants, he was eligible to play […]
If there’s a topic Colorado Rockies fans are eager to discuss now that we’re at the halfway point of the 2026 MLB season, it’s what moves president of baseball operations Paul DePodesta and general manager Josh Byrnes might make ahead of the August 3 trade deadline. And certainly, the Rockies pitching staff has been part […]
Rockies southpaw Sammy Peralta cleared waivers following his recent DFA and has been assigned outright to their Triple-A affiliate in Albuquerque, per the team’s transaction log at MLB.com. He’s been outrighted in the past and will thus have the right to reject this assignment in favor of free agency if he prefers to explore other […]
If a baseball season is a marathon, then a solid baseball career would be at least three ultramarathons. That makes trying to assess Cole Carrigg’s Major League career — one that consists of 48 at-bats in 14 games — a little like judging a 300-mile race by the first two miles. That being said, Carrigg is off […]
Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about the rise and fall of Ildemaro Vargas, the Mets’ and Cubs’ David Peterson swap, Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s refusal to wear a cup, the Giants’ response to Pride Night fallout, and the owners’ CBA strategy. Then (56:41) Ben brings back John Brebbia to discuss the Rockies reliever’s return to […]
The Boston Red Sox on Tuesday signed veteran backstop Andrew Knizner to a minor league contract and assigned him to Triple-A Worcester. The 31-year-old became available after being released by the Colorado Rockies organization on June 18 when he exercised an opt-out clause in his deal following a productive run with Triple-A Albuquerque. Knizner arrives […] The post Red Sox sign former Cardinals, Rockies to minor league contract appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The 2026 Colorado Rockies season has been bittersweet for me. I’m ecstatic that the team has been playing better and that the new front office has a clearer sense of direction, but I’m also saddened that my dad isn’t here to enjoy the climb. I’ve missed being able to talk to him about the Rockies […]
DENVER – It’s the halfway point for the Colorado Rockies and a projection of 98 losses this season is not exactly a bad thing. At 32-49 following Wednesday’s 8-6 win over the Boston Red Sox, Colorado feels worlds apart from the team who lost 119 games in 2025. “If you’ve watched us play all year, […] The post Rockies find first-half success with aggressive baserunning and pitch suggesting appeared first on Just Baseball .
The Colorado Rockies are known for playing their home games in the most notoriously hitter-friendly environment in Major League Baseball, Coors Field. Despite the introduction of the humidor in 2002 reducing the number of home runs hit there, Coors Field has sat atop park factors leaderboards since its opening in 1995. What’s more, in their […]
When the Milwaukee Brewers came to town, we talked about their Famous Racing Sausages as a tradition they could leave behind to inspire a new mascot race at Coors Field. With the Colorado Rockies taking the series today and sending the Boston Red Sox back to Fenway, it feels like a good time to discuss […]
After opening their West Coast trip by taking two of three from the Mariners, the Red Sox had a chance to leave Denver with another series win. Instead, they watched a late lead disappear and dropped the finale to the last-place Rockies, 8-6, on Wednesday afternoon.
Playing from behind for the majority of the game, the Colorado Rockies stunned the Boston Red Sox with a late-game rally against the bullpen to secure an 8-6 victory and the series win. Contributions from top to bottom underlined yet another gutsy win for Colorado. Freeland grinds out another start Coming off what was arguably […]

The Red Sox probably should’ve swept the lowly Colorado Rockies (though they’re pretty close to the same category these days). They should’ve at least won the series. They couldn’t even do that. Ranger Suárez struck out nine batters in six innings with solid run support. Instead of returning home to Fenway this weekend with a […]
After a stellar walk-off victory on Monday, the Colorado Rockies stumbled to a 5-2 loss on Tuesday as the offense couldn’t quite get rolling against Sonny Gray. Now, with the series tied, the Rockies will try to snag another series win to close out the homestand. Kyle Freeland (1-7, 7.36 ERA) will take the mound […]
On Wednesday morning prior to their final game of three against the Boston Red Sox, the Colorado Rockies announced that they have placed right-handed reliever Jaden Hill on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder tendonitis. Hill, 26, was originally selected in the second round of the 2021 draft as a starting pitcher. However, he […]
Regardless of how the Arizona Diamondbacks are doing, one consistent is the production of All-Star second baseman Ketel Marte. A three-time All-Star, Marte is already third among position players in team history with 32.0 fWAR. Barring injury, he’ll likely pass longtime outfielder Luis Gonzalez in total games played for the franchise. However, he’s far from […] The post The D-Backs Need Ketel Marte to Start Carrying His Weight appeared first on Just Baseball .
Today marks the official halfway point of the 2026 season for the Colorado Rockies. As they prepare to face off against the Boston Red Sox for the 81st game of the year, it seems appropriate to look back on some of the good, the bad, and the ugly qualities of this team at this point […]
