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.
Colorado placed outfielder Mickey Moniak on the 10-day injured list with right ankle tendinitis after colliding with a wall, promoting Sterlin Thompson from Triple-A to take his roster spot. Moniak had already missed time with a finger sprain and has slumped recently, but he remains a key power source (.280/.335/.607 with 12 HR in 164 PAs). Thompson will provide outfield depth as Colorado copes with injuries to Moniak and Brenton Doyle.
Texas Rangers overcome a rocky middle from Jack Leiter and pull off a ninth-inning comeback to beat the Colorado Rockies 5-4 in Denver. The late rally included catcher’s interference to start the frame, a passed ball, and a go-ahead single by Josh Jung, with Jake Burger and Ezequiel Duran contributing earlier hits. The win finishes the road trip 3-3, leaves Texas one game under .500, and places them in the WC3 playoff spot.
Rain and thunderstorms delayed the Diamondbacks vs. Rockies series finale at Coors Field, with a new start time of 2:55 p.m. local. Arizona starter Michael Soroka was warming up before the delay, but a lengthy wait could lead to him being scratched to protect his health; the D-Backs are chasing a series win after a strong opener and a 4-2 loss in game two, and updates will follow as weather conditions change.
Paul Skenes dominated the Rockies with eight scoreless innings and 10 strikeouts as the Pirates beat Colorado 3-1. After striking out six straight, Willi Castro bunted, and Skenes was seen joking “nice bunt.” He says he didn’t say it to Castro, only to himself, and credits reporters with being good lip readers. The performance continues his string of dominance (no runs in his last 16 innings) as Pittsburgh sits in the NL Central race.
Bryce Harper exited Saturday’s game against the Colorado Rockies in the first inning due to a migraine and was replaced by Felix Reyes; it marks the Phillies’ third migraine-related exit this season, though Harper had not missed a game previously, and entering 2026 he was batting .282 with nine homers and a .929 OPS.
