Injury bug bites Colorado at the worst time - Who's the latest to hit the Injured List? And who's the next man up?

Ethan Holliday's season-ending injury, Paul DePodesta's ability to find another TJ Rumfield and Troy Johnston's trade value

The Colorado Rockies are in desperate need for a superstar or two. TJ Rumfield, day-to-day with right shoulder inflammation, was making a case for NL Rookie of the Year. Just a year ago, he was blocked in the New York Yankees organization and stuck in Triple-A. Could new President of Baseball Operations find more players like this in other orgs? One player whose future as a superstar is on hold is Ethan Holliday. The 19-year-old selected 4th overall last year is done for the remainder of the 2026 season with a stress fracture in his left foot. Has he gone under the knife yet? And could we see him pop up in the Arizona Fall League this October? Plus, Troy Johnston's value to contending clubs at this year's trade deadline, the Los Angeles Angels postseason drought and the general dysfunction with the Halos. 🎥WATCH LIVE 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/@TheRockiesInsider 🎧 LISTEN 🎧  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rockies-insider-with-patrick-lyons/id1762349675 https://open.spotify.com/show/2MVUbiBbDp3wM85z2yy0Ut ✏️WRITTEN ✏️ https://www.justbaseball.com/author/patrickdennislyons/ https://patrickdlyons.substack.com/ 🚨 SOCIAL MEDIA 🚨 https://x.com/Rockies_Insider https://x.com/PatrickDLyons https://www.threads.net/@rockies_insider https://www.threads.net/@patrickdlyonsmlb https://bsky.app/profile/rockiesinsider.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/patrickdlyons.bsky.social https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlb [https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlb] See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Rockies win series, but suffer embarrassment at hands of Giants - Plus, the Ezequiel Tovar Game and Jonah Cox debuts

Ezequiel Tovar had himself a game for the ages on Friday night to help the Colorado Rockies snap a five-game losing streak and a home run drought in Denver the likes of which we haven't seen very much. Two home runs - including a walk-off - to go along with a steal of home plate. How often have we seen that kind of performance in MLB? Ryan Feltner twirled an absolute gem in his return from the IL on Saturday night. How important is his return to the starting rotation? Is he back to the form that had him as one of the best pitchers during the second half of 2024? Plus, the status of TJ Rumfield, a Colorado native makes his MLB debut at Coors Field and previewing the Los Angeles Angels series. 🎥WATCH LIVE 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/@TheRockiesInsider 🎧 LISTEN 🎧  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rockies-insider-with-patrick-lyons/id1762349675 https://open.spotify.com/show/2MVUbiBbDp3wM85z2yy0Ut ✏️WRITTEN ✏️ https://www.justbaseball.com/author/patrickdennislyons/ https://patrickdlyons.substack.com/ 🚨 SOCIAL MEDIA 🚨 https://x.com/Rockies_Insider https://x.com/PatrickDLyons https://www.threads.net/@rockies_insider https://www.threads.net/@patrickdlyonsmlb https://bsky.app/profile/rockiesinsider.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/patrickdlyons.bsky.social https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlb [https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlb] See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

ockies narrowly avoid an Ohtani no-hitter to end the Dodgers sweep while Kyle Freeland prepares for more Colorado history

Colorado was four outs away from getting no-hit for the first time since 2014 (coincidentally also at Dodger Stadium). Tyler Freeman singled in the eighth inning with two outs and even managed to reach second base during the 3-1 game. How winnable was this near no-no? And how bad has it gotten for the Rockies in Los Angeles? Kyle Freeland owns a few Colorado records already. When he takes the mound for his next start, where will end up on the all-time record books? Is it possible for him to get to no. 1 on the strikeout list ahead of Germán Márquez? Plus, Shohei Ohtani continues to be ridiculous, TJ Rumfield returns and Eduoard Julien's 0-for-33 slump. 🎥WATCH LIVE 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/@TheRockiesInsider 🎧 LISTEN 🎧  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rockies-insider-with-patrick-lyons/id1762349675 https://open.spotify.com/show/2MVUbiBbDp3wM85z2yy0Ut ✏️WRITTEN ✏️ https://www.justbaseball.com/author/patrickdennislyons/ https://patrickdlyons.substack.com/ 🚨 SOCIAL MEDIA 🚨 https://x.com/Rockies_Insider https://x.com/PatrickDLyons https://www.threads.net/@rockies_insider https://www.threads.net/@patrickdlyonsmlb https://bsky.app/profile/rockiesinsider.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/patrickdlyons.bsky.social https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlb [https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlb] See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Will TJ Rumfield’s injury ruin his odd for NL Rookie of the Year Award recognition? Did he already have an uphill battle?

The Colorado Rockies currently have 13 players on the injured list, including an entire starting outfield's worth. TJ Rumfield, the club's most potent bat with Mickey Moniak on the shelf, got plunked on the right hand Monday night in LA. What did the x-rays determine? And how will this impact his chances at receiving NL Rookie of the Year Award attention? Despite being no-hit through the middle of a lot of games the past few seasons, Colorado has not been no-hit since Clayton Kershaw shut them down in 2014. How many teams have been no-hit more recently than the Rockies? Plus, Welinton Herrera's debut, Carson Palmquist traded and Blaine Crim back with the Texas Rangers. 🎥WATCH LIVE 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/@TheRockiesInsider 🎧 LISTEN 🎧  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rockies-insider-with-patrick-lyons/id1762349675 https://open.spotify.com/show/2MVUbiBbDp3wM85z2yy0Ut ✏️WRITTEN ✏️ https://www.justbaseball.com/author/patrickdennislyons/ https://patrickdlyons.substack.com/ 🚨 SOCIAL MEDIA 🚨 https://x.com/Rockies_Insider https://x.com/PatrickDLyons https://www.threads.net/@rockies_insider https://www.threads.net/@patrickdlyonsmlb https://bsky.app/profile/rockiesinsider.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/patrickdlyons.bsky.social https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlb [https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlb] See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Injury bug bites Colorado at the worst time - Who's the latest to hit the Injured List? And who's the next man up?

After a solid month of April that nearly saw the club reach . 500, May has been brutal for the Colorado Rockies in every fashion. How awful has the starting pitching been? Who's the latest to go down to injury? How many consecutive games did the Rox fail to homer? Two-thirds (67%) of all home runs hit by Colorado have come from three players: Mickey Moniak (12), Hunter Goodman (11) and TJ Rumfield (7). Is there still a dinger drought to keep an eye on? Plus, Chad Stevens makes his Rockies debut, Brett Sullivan pitches again and the 2022 draft class takes a hit for Colorado. 🎥WATCH LIVE 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/@TheRockiesInsider 🎧 LISTEN 🎧  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rockies-insider-with-patrick-lyons/id1762349675 https://open.spotify.com/show/2MVUbiBbDp3wM85z2yy0Ut ✏️WRITTEN ✏️ https://www.justbaseball.com/author/patrickdennislyons/ https://patrickdlyons.substack.com/ 🚨 SOCIAL MEDIA 🚨 https://x.com/Rockies_Insider https://x.com/PatrickDLyons https://www.threads.net/@rockies_insider https://www.threads.net/@patrickdlyonsmlb https://bsky.app/profile/rockiesinsider.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/patrickdlyons.bsky.social https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlb [https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlb] See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
