Moniak to IL as Rockies rely on Thompson for outfield depth

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.

Rangers Rally Past Rockies in Ninth-Inning Thriller

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.

Skenes Laughs Off Lip-Reader Moment After Rockies Bunt

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.

Harper Leaves Phillies Game Early With Migraine, Third Headache-Related Exit This Season

Rockies troll Mets with social posts after Queens doubleheader sweep

Colorado Rockies mocked the Mets on X after sweeping them in a Sunday doubleheader in Queens, continuing New York’s rough 2026 season. The Rockies won 3-1 in game 1 and 3-0 in game 2 (followed a 4-3 win Friday), with memes like “Kings of Queens” and a jab at the Empire State Building. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza faces scrutiny as the club, 10.5 games back in the NL East, searches for momentum after a stretch of poor offense and pitching, and has a day off before a Nationals series at Citi Field.

Padres ride offense and bullpen to 7-2 win, sweep Rockies as Pivetta exits with elbow stiffness

San Diego completed a four-game sweep of Colorado with a 7-2 victory at Petco Park, but Nick Pivetta left in the fourth inning with elbow stiffness after a strong start. The Padres’ offense got a homer from Ty France and continued big contributions from Ramón Laureano and Jackson Merrill, while the bullpen held the Rockies to two runs after the injury. Pivetta’s status is day-to-day, with potential replacements like Matt Waldron or Griffin Canning in the mix if he misses time; San Diego improved to 10-6 and extended its win streak to five.

Penner Sports Group, run by the Penner family that owns the Denver Broncos, purchased a 40% stake in the Colorado Rockies, becoming the largest minority owner while the Monforts retain majority control. The deal, reportedly around $672 million, will retire debt and fund investments, though it’s unclear whether payroll levels will rise; the Penners will not have daily Rockies duties and will stay focused on the Broncos.

Penner duo join Rockies as largest minority partners, expanding Denver sports footprint

Greg and Carrie Penner have become significant minority partners in the Colorado Rockies through Penner Sports Group, taking about 40% and becoming the franchise’s largest minority investors while the Monforts remain majority owners. MLB approved the deal, and the investment—described as several hundred million dollars based on the Rockies’ $1.68 billion valuation—will help retire debt and fund on-field and fan-experience improvements. The move follows the Penners’ success with the Broncos and expands their cross-sport influence in Denver, with no day-to-day roles at the Rockies for now.

Bryant's Back Pain Keeps Him Off the Field as Rockies Plan Ahead

Colorado Rockies star Kris Bryant reported to spring training but cannot play due to a degenerative lumbar disc disease that makes everyday life painful; he’s been put on the 60-day injured list with no plans for him to play this season. Manager Warren Schaeffer called the condition real and said the team must operate as if Bryant won’t appear, while Bryant focuses on potential recovery and mentoring younger players. Bryant, 34, remains under contract for three more years with $81 million still owed, after signing a franchise-record deal in 2022; retirement has not been ruled out, though he hasn’t acknowledged it.

Rockies land Julien and Ohl to boost offense and pitching depth

Colorado Rockies acquire infielder Edouard Julien and right-hander Pierson Ohl from the Minnesota Twins for minor-league RHP Jace Kaminska and cash, while clearing 40-man spots by trading Angel Chivilli and designating Yanquiel Fernández. Julien, a former 2023 rookie standout whose production has declined, provides infield versatility and a controllable timeline, likely at first or second base. Ohl, a 26-year-old with four-seamer experience and strong control, offers starting/relief depth with six years of club control. The trade addresses Colorado’s need for both position player depth and pitching depth as part of a broader front-office reshaping under Paul DePodesta. More to come as the Rockies rebuild.)
