The Chicago White Sox lost 9-6 to the Colorado Rockies on September 26, 2026, ending their pursuit of the AL Central title. The loss, combined with the Cleveland Guardians' 11-5 win over the Kansas City Royals, secured Cleveland the division and a first-round bye. Chicago will enter the playoffs as the No. 6 seed, facing the AL West winner in a best-of-three series starting Tuesday.
The Arizona Diamondbacks completed a series sweep of the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field, winning 12-8 on Thursday to improve to 85-74. This victory keeps Arizona within 2.5 games of the third National League Wild Card spot with only three games remaining. The D-backs now await results from the Phillies and Padres to determine if they can control their playoff destiny in San Diego.
San Diego Padres catcher Ethan Salas hit two home runs in a 9-3 victory over the Colorado Rockies, becoming the youngest catcher to achieve this feat since 1900. The win helped the Padres maintain a lead in the National League playoff race.
Anthony Volpe, back from the minors, delivered three hits including a bases-loaded grand slam in his Bronx return, powering the Yankees to a 10-3 win over Colorado to sweep the Rockies and close in on the AL East lead; his five RBIs marked a career high as he earned a curtain call, potentially cementing himself as the everyday second baseman after Chisholm’s injury.
Martin Pérez pitched well, but the Rockies struck first with a run in the sixth. Atlanta finally broke through in the eighth when Olson and Dubon singled and Michael Harris II delivered a go-ahead two-run double, then Didier Fuentes closed it out for a 2-1 series-clinching win.
Colorado Rockies called up Mason Adams and Blake Adams from Triple-A Albuquerque and activated Hunter Goodman from the 10-day IL, with Kyle Freeland headed to the 15-day IL; Mason Adams is set to start in Freeland’s spot as the club reshuffles its 40-man roster and rotation for the stretch run.
Colorado placed star catcher Hunter Goodman on the 10-day injured list retroactive to August 15 with a left shoulder strain. Braxton Fulford was recalled from Triple-A to take his roster spot, and Brett Sullivan will handle catching duties in the meantime. Manager Warren Schaeffer expects Goodman to return around a week from his IL start. Goodman leads catchers with 34 homers this season and has 65 homers over the last two years, as Colorado navigates the stretch run.
The White Sox acquired Brenton Doyle from the Colorado Rockies for prospects Mason Adams and Carlos Vielma, adding a Gold Glove-caliber center fielder to an outfield that includes Everson Pereira and Randal Grichuk. Doyle’s production has dipped this season due to injuries, but he brings elite speed and defensive value; Chicago plans to work on his bat path to unlock more power, and this is part of a flurry of deadline moves the team has made.”,
In Denver, the Red Sox blew a late lead as closer Aroldis Chapman allowed a walk-off, bases-clearing triple to Jake McCarthy in the bottom of the ninth, handing Boston a 3-2 loss to the Rockies. It was Chapman’s first blown save in 13 months, and the Sox ended a season-long streak of 29-0 when leading after seven innings.
Jake McCarthy’s inside-the-park leadoff homer off Paul Skenes and Tomoyuki Sugano’s six innings of one-run ball led the Colorado Rockies to a 2-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, clinching the series; the night also featured a bizarre ending as a grounder led to an interference call that ended the game with Kyle Karros unable to throw, despite Skenes’ eight strikeouts.
Paul Skenes pitched six innings of two-run ball but took the loss as the Pirates dropped a 2-1 decision to the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field, their seventh straight defeat in Skenes’ starts. The Pirates loaded the bases with none out in the ninth but failed to score. A controversial call—Billy Cook, running for Reynolds, was ruled to have interfered with the third baseman—ruled out the potential tying run, drawing anger from Pirates manager Don Kelly. Pittsburgh remains under .500 and will try to avoid a sweep in the series finale.
The Colorado Rockies will promote pitching prospect Sean Sullivan to make his MLB debut against the Athletics, moving Chase Dollander to the 60-day injured list with a right elbow sprain and optioning Sammy Peralta to Triple-A. Sullivan, not on the 40-man roster, earns a chance to solidify a shifting rotation as the team navigates injuries, with a potential longer look if he sticks, ahead of a late-June schedule that could include a start at Coors Field against the Red Sox.
The Chicago Cubs head to Coors Field trying to avoid a sweep by the Colorado Rockies, with Edward Cabrera returning from the IL to start and a shuffled Cubs lineup led by Pete Crow-Armstrong, Alex Bregman, Michael Busch, Ian Happ, Seiya Suzuki, Nico Hoerner, Moises Ballesteros, Carson Kelly, and Dansby Swanson. Colorado counters with Edouard Julien and a deep lineup as the wind blows in; the matchup, weather, and recent bumps in form set a tense backdrop as Chicago looks to climb back above .500.
Colorado’s T.J. Rumfield hit a 364-foot solo homer on the first pitch from Angels starter Grayson Rodriguez in Anaheim after the ball caromed off Jo Adell’s head in the top of the fourth, fueling an 8-2 Rockies win. Adell went 0-for-4 as Colorado’s Tomoyuki Sugano worked five innings for the win and Wade Meckler added a late two-run double for the Angels. Colorado improves to 24-38 and Los Angeles falls to 23-39.
Angels outfielder Jo Adell misplayed a deep fly that bounced off his head and over the wall for a solo homer off Colorado's TJ Rumfield, helping the Rockies beat the Angels 8-2. Adell went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts, and the moment echoed a 1993 Jose Canseco blunder; it contrasted with Adell's earlier standout defensive feats this season.
