Fresh off a franchise-record win, a 23-9 victory over the A’s in Las Vegas, the Rockies will see if they can keep their red-hot offense in Chicago as they start a three-game series against the Cubs tonight. The Rockies (27-45, 14-20 home, 13-25 road) set a franchise record with 23 runs on Sunday, which prevented […]
LAS VEGAS — Cole Carrigg (No. 4 PuRP) has made a statement in 2026. Through 57 games, he was slashing .338/.414/.529 with 26 extra-base hits (15 doubles, five triples, six home runs) and 30 stolen bases in 37 attempts. That was enough for him to get the call, and he made his debut on June […]
I was having trouble settling on a Purple Row After Dark topic tonight because I was distracted by the absurdity that was the Rockies game today. By the time it was over, Colorado had scored 23 runs on 24 hits. Every Rockies starter had at least one hit. Every Rockies starter scored at least one […]
Under the clear desert sky and scorching sun of Las Vegas, Nevada, the Colorado Rockies offense put on a fireworks show to close out a three-game series against the Athletics and avoid a sweep. The Athletics were hosting six games at Las Vegas Ballpark—home of the Triple-A Las Vegas Aviators—to give fans a preview for […]

After two night games where the ball flew far in the Nevada heat, the Colorado Rockies and the Athletics will play their third and final game of the series in the afternoon under the searing desert sun. Temperatures are expected to be over 100 degrees Fahrenheit at first pitch at Las Vegas Ballpark roughly 20 […]
LAS VEGAS, Nevada — Left-handed pitcher Sean Sullivan (No. 8 PuRP) made his MLB debut on Friday against the Athletics, and it was memorable for a couple of reasons. First, the Rockies and A’s are playing in Las Vegas right now in the home of the Triple-A Aviators. Sullivan last pitched here on May 19, […]
There were plenty of baserunners to go around for both sides in Las Vegas on Saturday night, with the Colorado Rockies and Athletics combining for 19 hits. While the Rockies had their chances, another rough outing from Kyle Freeland didn’t help the cause, and they were never able to stay ahead of the A’s. The […]

Following last night’s loss to the Athletics, the Colorado Rockies enter a matchup built around uncertainty, as Kyle Freeland tries to find his footing against Joey Estes, who will make his 2026 debut after being recalled by the A’s from the minors. Jeffrey Springs was projected to start, but will now be pushed to Sunday […]
Today, the Colorado Rockies announced a series of roster moves, most notably, the promotion of RHP Eiberson Castellano from Triple-A Albuquerque. The 25 year old will be making his Major League debut with his first appearance, bringing to eight the total number of Rockies MLB debuts this season. There was some hint of this move […]
More than 700 players have appeared in a game for the Rockies. Most do not last long. The average Rockies tenure is much closer to two years than five, which makes the long-timers easy to remember and the short stays easy to lose. This is not about franchise pillars, or random cameos, but Rockies who packed most of […]
There was no late-night luck in Vegas for the Rockies. Sean Sullivan gave Colorado an encouraging first look in his major league debut, and Cole Carrigg delivered the swing that briefly looked like it might define the night. But the lead did not hold. The Athletics answered Carrigg’s three-run homer with four unanswered runs, including […]

The Colorado Rockies are opening a six-game road trip tonight with three games against the Athletics in Las Vegas, where the A’s are playing a rare ‘home’ series away from their temporary home in Sacramento. After this series, the Rockies head to Wrigley Field for three against the Chicago Cubs. The nomadic Athletics enter at […]
The Colorado Rockies are reportedly promoting left-handed pitcher Sean Sullivan (No. 8 PuRP) to start Friday night’s game against the Athletics. The Gazette’s Kevin Henry was among the first to report on the news. The Rockies have yet to officially announce the move. Sullivan was the Rockies’ second-round pick in the 2023 draft after pitching […]
On the heels of Cole Carrigg’s (No. 4 PuRP) call up earlier this week and Sterlin Thompson’s (No. 13 PuRP) a few weeks back, we asked you who you thought would be the next prospect to be called up. It wasn’t much of a surprise, but the majority of folks believe Zac Veen (No. 9 […]
There’s no doubt that the Colorado Rockies are improved from 2025. They’ve got a better record than they had at this point in the season last year, and in some areas, they’ve made clear improvement. However, the Rockies still rank dead last in runs allowed at 397, which has the basement rankings sealed at 32 […]
As a reminder, last weekend, Colorado Rockies president of baseball operations talked with media about where the Colorado Rockies are at this point in the season. On Monday, we ran DePodesta’s comments related to prospects. Tonight, here are his comments on a range of other subjects. Some comments that have been lightly edited for clarity. […]
Riding the thrill of a walk-off victory, a series win, and a hot pitcher on the mound, the Colorado Rockies were primed to sweep the Chicago Cubs to close out the homestand. Unfortunately, the Cubs came out swinging to secure a 9-3 victory. Meanwhile, the Rockies’ offense was propelled by a pair of home runs […]
The rookies pulled through for the Colorado Rockies as they secured a series victory with a 3-2 victory on Tuesday. Pitching was great for both teams, and things didn’t really happen until the final two innings. TJ Rumfield had a go-ahead home run and Sterlin Thompson later delivered the walk-off single. Now, the Rockies look […]
Jordan Romano knows what it feels like to be one of the best relievers in baseball. He has been there. Two All-Star appearances, 105 saves with the Toronto Blue Jays, and a stretch from 2021 through 2023 where he was, on most nights, simply unhittable. A 6-foot-5 right-hander from Markham, Ontario, with a fastball that […]
The Athletic recently compared Injured List stints of all MLB organizations since 2024, and the Rockies placement shocked me: They have had a total of 10,906 days lost to the IL throughout the entire organization in that span. This seemingly huge number ranked them . . . seventh fewest in the league. That’s counting the […]
This was a game that was initially defined by excellent pitching, but the bats came alive for Colorado in the final two innings, resulting in a 3-2 walk-off victory over the Chicago Cubs. The Rockies have secured the series victory and improved to 26-42 on the season, thanks largely in part to a strong start […]
