Lorenzen struck out five and walked three, raising his ERA to 6.09 for the season. He’s continuing to throw seven pitches but remains limited in the shapes and velocities of those offerings. Most of his ERA damage actually came in one bad start against the Phillies, but he’s mostly serving an innings-eating role for a rebuilding Rockies team. Lorenzen’s next start lines up at Coors against the Mets.

Freeman’s homer was his first of the year, an opposite-field blast off Andrew Abbott to kick off the scoring in the first. His playing time has been sporadic this season, but he almost always bats in the 1-4 spot when he draws a start.

Doyle plays against all lefties but shares center field with Jake McCarthy against right-handers. Thursday’s theft was his seventh of the year. Doyle is base-stealing at a more aggressive clip than in 2024, when he swiped 30 bags. It’ll be hard to replicate that 23/30 campaign without regular playing time, however. His batting line has also failed to live up to the .260 average and .186 ISO he posted that year.

It is against LHP Andrew Abbott, and while the Rockies haven’t strictly platooned Moniak against left-handers, they did drop him to ninth in the order against Brandon Williamson yesterday. On the season, Moniak is hitting .361/.413/.736 against right-handers and .067/.067/.267 against lefties. He probably would be platooned more aggressively on a team with better options.

Goodman took Reds relievers Luis Mey and Jose Franco deep in the fifth and seventh innings to record his second multi-homer performance since April 14. The 26-year-old backstop has gone deep seven times in his last 15 games. He’s striking out at an elevated rate compared to his previous career norms, but it’s a manageable tradeoff if the power surge continues.

Sugano continues to look like a viable streaming option in deeper mixed leagues, scattering four hits and three walks while working into the sixth inning for the fourth time in six starts in his Rockies debut. The 36-year-old righty was able to cruise to a relatively easy win in this one after Colorado’s offense raced out to an early lead and supplied nearly two touchdowns worth runs of support. He’ll carry a stellar 2.84 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 21/9 K/BB ratio across 31 2/3 innings into a home outing against the Mets on Monday.

Castro has missed the last four games with a knee injury, but he’ll be back in the lineup at second base and hitting fifth on Wednesday. Since a left-hander pitcher is on the mound, Edouard Julien will shift to the bench, as will Troy Johnston and Jake McCarthy, with Jordan Beck and Brenton Doyle in the lineup and batting first and second, respectively.

Freeland’s velocity was down about one mph tonight in his return from a two-start absence due to shoulder inflammation, and he fell to 1-2 with a 3.48 ERA. He’ll make his next start at home against the Braves.

Julien has 13 hits in his last seven games, a stretch that has raised his OPS from .639 to .842. That’s still no mixed-league value here, as Julien is a platoon guy with limited power and steal ability (though he has for some reason tried four this year, succeeding twice). He does seem to be the Rockies’ best option as a leadoff man against righties, though.

They can only drop him one spot further. Tovar opened the season batting cleanup for Colorado and also hit second and third on occasion, but he hit seventh for the first time on Friday and eighth for the first time Sunday. The 24-year-old is still chasing every pitch he sees and batting .193/.228/.294 through 114 plate appearances. There’s no giving up on him for the long haul, but the Rockies could consider sending him down for a spell to try to motivate him to show even a modicum of discipline at the plate.

Castro, 29, has not been able to play since Thursday because of soreness in his right knee. The veteran infielder will take a seat with Edouard Julien once again starting at second base and hitting leadoff.

Freeland is back to make the start against the Reds on Tuesday. The 32-year-old would be a risky streaming option against the Cincinnati lineup, and will be a risky option against the majority of other lineups as well.

Freeland will get the ball for Tuesday’s series opener in Cincinnati after missing just over two weeks with shoulder inflammation. The 32-year-old offers some limited appeal as a low-upside streaming option in deeper mixed leagues since it’s a road matchup against one of the weaker lineups in the game this season.

Herget returns to Colorado’s bullpen following a brief stint away from the club on paternity leave over the weekend. The 32-year-old righty has compiled a strong 1.50 ERA with an 11/2 K/BB ratio over 12 innings of work this season.

Halvorsen returns to the minors after making a pair of scoreless relief appearances for the Rockies while Jimmy Herget was away from the club on paternity leave. The 26-year-old former high-leverage arm figures to return to Colorado at some point in the near future.

Peralta didn’t end up making an appearance for the Rockies after being called up last week to fortify their bullpen mix. The 27-year-old lefty has made 30 relief appearances in the big leagues dating back to 2023.

Goodman pushed the Rockies’ lead to 3-0 with his two-run shot of a (yet again) ineffective Kodai Senga in the third inning. After a bit of a slow start, Goodman is raking again with seven homers and an .887 OPS over his 95 at-bats.

Viktor Vodnik got the save in the first game of the twin billing and threw 15 pitches, so he wasn’t an option. The Rockies turned to Agnos instead, and while he did allow a double to MJ Melendez, he kept Melendez from advancing while picking up his second save of 2026. Vodnik remains the closer here, and Agnos wouldn’t necessarily be next in line if something were to change that.

Impressive, even when you consider how bad the Mets have been to begin 2026. Dollander allowed only five hits, and he walked two against the aforementioned seven punchouts. He’s allowed just one run over his last 16 innings, and he’s reminded why so many were so high on Dollander coming out of the 2023 draft class. It’s very hard to imagine the 24-year-old is heading to the bullpen anytime soon, and he’ll be worth consideration against Atlanta over the weekend.

Julien doubled and scored the go-ahead run to open the sixth. An interesting thing happened earlier in that at-bat, when Julien challenged a 2-1 cutter off the plate and had it briefly turned into a ball, only for the Mets to appeal down to the third base ump afterwards and have it ruled that he swung at the ball. Julien is hitting .282/.363/.394 in 80 plate appearances as the Rockies’ second baseman against righties. That’s solid, but his defense there remains a problem and he’s not really showing enough to be at attractive option at first base or DH. He’s still a fringy major leaguer at this point.

He fared so well against Juan Soto that the Rockies left him in to retire him a third time to start the sixth before lifting him. Quintana had five strikeouts, which is one more than in his first three starts combined, and lowered his ERA from 6.23 to 4.91. Next up for him is a home start against Atlanta.

Vodnik, last seen giving up five runs against the Padres in a blown save Thursday, struck out Marcus Semien and MJ Melendez to finish a 3-1 game. He’s now 4-for-6 in his save chances, but he’s still not a great use of a roster spot in mixed leagues.

Didn’t think Lorenzen had this in him. He evaded trouble all night with some well-timed double plays and line drives that found gloves, but got the job done. It felt like more of an old-school start where he appeared to be pitching to contact rather than hunting whiffs. It worked here and he’ll have another chance to start away from Coors Field next time out against the Reds in Cincinnati.

Senzatela entered this game in the eighth inning with the tying run on third base and one out and lucked out when Mark Vientos hit a line drive back up the middle that was caught and turned into a double play. Then, he made quick work of the Mets in the ninth inning to earn his second save of the season. Rockies’ usual closer Victor Vodnik blew an ugly save Thursday, allowing five runs against the Padres and throwing 22 pitches in the process, so it makes sense as to why the team didn’t immediately turn back to him here. Senzatela has widened his arsenal in relief this season throwing far more cutters and sinkers than he ever has, making him mildly intriguing as a late-game option besides for the fact that he pitches his home games in Coors Field.

With his Rockies up one, Johnston delivered a clutch, two-run knock to stretch their lead out. The Mets wound up responding with a rally of their own, but fell one run short. Just as he and his teammates have done all season, Johnston attacked a first-pitch fastball from Sean Manaea to get his big hit. On the season, he has a .317 batting average and .834 OPS as a pleasant surprise in the middle of the Rockies’ order.

He’s just dealing with a bit of inflammation, and the Rockies are hopeful that he’ll be able to return after a minimum stint on the injured list. You can never be too sure with elbow injuries, but it sounds like barring any setbacks he should be ready to rejoin the Rockies’ rotation at some point in May.

If the Rockies like what they see during that session, it sounds like Freeland will bypass a minor league rehab start entirely and could rejoin the Rockies’ rotation next week against the Reds. Given the injury to Ryan Feltner (elbow), they could certainly use the reinforcements.

Castro was removed from Thursday’s game after two innings due to soreness in his right knee. It sounds like he has been playing through the injury for a while now, though it doesn’t appear that a trip to the injured list is imminent. Tyler Freeman will start in his place at second base on Friday night and will bat cleanup for the Rockies against Mets’ right-hander Freddy Peralta.

It appears to be just a routine day off for the versatile 26-year-old. Julien has established himself as the Rockies’ regular leadoff hitter against right-handed pitching in recent weeks, making him a worthwhile addition in deeper mixed leagues. Mickey Moniak will serve as the designated hitter and bat leadoff for the Rockies while Brenton Doyle makes a rare start against a right-hander and will start in center field and bat ninth for the Rockies against Freddy Peralta and the Mets.
