No major surprises among this batch of cuts, though Sean Sullivan showed out well during Cactus League play and likely put himself in a position to earn his first promotion to the big leagues at some point in 2026 when the Rockies need another starter.

That would line up Aaron Nola to pitch in the finals against the winner of the United States and the Dominican Republic should Italy’s magical run continue. Lorenzen was exceptional his last time out against Team USA, hurling 4 2/3 innings of scoreless baseball. He’ll be opposed by Keider Montero for Venezuela.

The 24-year-old outfielder opened the scoring in the ballgame, lining an RBI single off of Jacob Misorowski in the top half of the first inning. He then swiped second base and took third on an error before being stranded there. Beck then tagged Brandon Sproat for a 423-foot (107.8 mph EV) solo shot in the sixth inning that made it 7-3. He has been locked in at the plate this spring, hitting .314 (11-for-35) with a pair of homers, three RBI and a stolen base.

Ouch. Vodnik also issued a pair of walks while recording both of his outs via the strikeout. Vodnik took over in the second inning of this one and walked two of the first three hitters he faced before serving up a three-run homer to light-hitting infielder David Hamilton. He also allowed another couple of singles before turning the ball over to the bullpen and one of those inherited runners ultimately scored. The presumed closer to open the season for the Rockies, Vodnik has struggled to a 27.00 ERA and 4.88 WHIP over 2 2/3 innings in three Cactus League outings this spring. Perhaps Rockies’ skipper Warren Schaeffer may want to go in a different direction in the ninth inning.

Doyle roped a one-out triple (94.3 mph EV) off of Ben Brown in the top half of the first inning and scored the game’s first run on a ground ball off the bat of Hunter Goodman. The 27-year-old outfielder is having a strong spring at the plate, hitting .400 (8-for-20) with six RBI and one stolen base, though he’s still in search of his first home run.

The 32-year-old southpaw uncharacteristically racked up four strikeouts on the afternoon and didn’t walk a batter. The only baserunner against him came on a two-out double by Jefferson Rojas in his final inning of work. Freeland peppered the strike zone in this one, throwing 27 of his 34 pitches for strikes. His four strikeout victims were Matt Shaw, Dylan Carlson, Kevin Alcantara and Jonathan Long. For the spring, he holds a stellar 1.80 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and a 6/3 K/BB ratio over five innings in his two starts. He’s still not a recommended option for fantasy purposes.

Moniak opened the scoring in the contest as he plated Tyler Freeman with a sacrifice fly in the third inning. The former top overall pick is having a strong spring offensively, hitting .294 (5-for-17) with a pair of homers, four RBI and one stolen base. He makes for nice value option in the outfield in the later stages of fantasy drafts.

The 37-year-old southpaw certainly didn’t help his own cause, issuing six free passes on the afternoon while punching out five. All of the damage done against Quintana came in the third inning as he allowed a walk and a pair of singles to load the bases, then proceeded to walk two runs in. He then exited with the bases still juiced and all three runners scored against the bullpen. He has been a disaster in Cactus League play — posting a 10.38 ERA and 2.54 WHIP over 4 1/3 innings, but given their alternative options, he’s still likely to open the season in the Rockies’ rotation.

Doyle led off the fourth inning with a triple off of Drey Jameson and scored the Rockies’ first run on an RBI single off the bat of TJ Rumfield. The 27-year-old outfielder then tied the game at 2-2 with an RBI single in the fifth before once again scoring on an RBI knock from Rumfield. He also drew a walk in the sixth, reaching base in three of his four plate appearances. Doyle is having a terrific spring offensively, hitting .412 (7-for-17) with no homers, six RBI and one stolen base.

The 23-year-old southpaw did not walk a batter or record a strikeout in the contest. The Diamondbacks jumped him right out of the gate in this one as Jordan Lawlar smacked a leadoff single and Tim Tawa followed with a two-run homer. He then settled in and allowed just one hit while recording nine outs from there. For the spring, Sullivan holds a solid 3.86 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and a 7/3 K/BB ratio over 9 2/3 innings during Cactus League play. Given their lack of staring pitching depth, we could see him debut with the Rockies at some point in 2026.

Johnston is a name to know for fantasy managers in extremely deep mixed leagues and NL-only formats since he projects to open the year as Colorado’s starting first baseman with Blaine Crim potentially hitting the injured list with an oblique injury. The 28-year-old was claimed off waivers from the Marlins last November after finally getting his opportunity at the highest level last year. He’s one of the few cold corner options with some decent stolen base potential and should benefit from hitting at Coors Field’s high-octane environment.

Dollander recorded only one strikeout and was tagged for seven hits in his latest spring outing. The 24-year-old former first-round pick continues to flash elite fastball velocity, averaging 98.2 mph and topping out at 99.3 mph in this one. He certainly has the talent to stand a fighting chance at Coors Field but we’re advising more of a wait-and-see approach before trusting him outside of deeper mixed leagues when he’s pitching on the road against weaker lineups.

Working on a pitch limit of 65, Lorenzen, last seen giving up four runs in 2 2/3 innings against the Brewers last week, was able to retire 14 batters, an extremely impressive accomplishment even if Team USA didn’t field its best lineup tonight. Lorenzen allowed two hits, walked one and struck out two. He’ll be able to pitch again if Team Italy can reach the semifinals.

No cause for concern here. Moniak should be back in the lineup in the next couple of days and remains an everyday player for the Rockies. He’s a draft value outside of the top 250 picks in redraft leagues right now.

Freeland had a bit of an easier matchup today after facing Team USA in his spring debut last week. He’s not quite as far along as the rest of the Rockies’ pitchers after dealing with back spasms, but he’s in line to be ready for Opening Day.

Beck hasn’t proven himself as a quality major leaguer yet, but the Rockies never looked to upgrade over him this winter. That he plays in Coors Field and is a decent basestealer gives him ample fantasy upside if he takes any kind of step forward. Last year’s 30% strikeout rate and 38% hard-hit rate just weren’t very encouraging, though.

Palmquist, 25, appeared in nine games for the Rockies in 2025 where he compiled an uninspiring 8.91 ERA and 2.04 WHIP across 34 1/3 innings. Given the Rockies’ overall lack of pitching depth, he’ll probably get another shot at the big league level at some point during the 2026 season.

The 36-year-old right-hander punched out two batters in the contest and didn’t allow a base on balls. The biggest threat against him came as Australia put runners at the corners with two outs in the opening inning, but Sugano was able to get Jarryd Dale to ground into a fielder’s choice to quell the rally. He got eight whiffs on 50 pitches in the ballgame, posting a CSW of just 20 percent. Sugano is expected to hold down a spot in the Rockies’ Opening Day rotation though he won’t have any value from a fantasy perspective.

Everything went south after Quintana’s outing, as Puerto Rico scored all of its runs in the fifth. Quintana had made just one appearance this spring after signing in mid-February, but he’s definitely on track to be ready to open up in Colorado’s rotation. His velocity today was up about one mph from last year.

All three balls in play left his bat at 110-111 mph, according to Statcast. Stevens, 27, made his major league debut with the Angels last seaosn, going 2-for-13 with seven strikeouts in five games. He showed some power in hitting 18 homers in 126 games for Triple-A Salt Lake last year, and he offers versatility throughout the infield. He should be in the running for a spot on Colorado’s bench if he keeps hitting.

Dollander didn’t dominate today with his 23% CSW and seven hard-hit balls allowed. One of those was a 402-foot double from Shea Langeliers that would have been a homer in 20 MLB ballparks. Still, Dollander shouldn’t need to be more than solid to secure his spot in Colorado’s rotation, and he’s definitely done that in allowing two runs in seven innings so far.

Karros is making his case to become the Rockies’ third baseman by opening the spring 7-for-15 with two homers. He disappointed with how little power his showed last season, totaling six homers in 75 games in the minors and one in 43 major league games, and he bulked up over the winter as a result. His game is pretty well-rounded otherwise, so if keeps hitting homers on occasion, he could be a useful regular.

Freeman made his spring debut Thursday as a right fielder after missing time with a back issue. He’ll be a lot more interesting for fantasy purposes if the Rockies give him a look at second base this spring. He projects as the Rockies’ best OBP guy, but if he’s just an outfielder and a DH, he’s probably not going to play much against righties initially.

The 25-year-old infielder smacked a one-out double in the second inning but the Rockies were unable to cash him in. He then led off the fourth inning with a single, swiped second base and scored on a ground ball single by Nicky Lopez. Ritter also doubled in the fifth inning. With his three-hit attack, he’s now hitting .478 (11-for-23) with a homer, six RBI and three stolen bases to start the spring. He has seemingly locked up a bench spot on the Rockies’ Opening Day roster.

Lorenzen also issued a pair of walks in the ballgame while punching out a pair. The Brewers jumped on him right out of the gate as Garrett Mitchell slugged a leadoff home run and Luis Rengifo added a run-scoring single. They tacked on single runs in the second and third innings before the veteran right-hander was mercifully pulled. He got seven whiffs on 65 pitches on the day — four of those on his sinker — while posting a CSW of 28 percent. He’s likely to crack the Rockies’ Opening Day rotation, but Lorenzen should be avoided in all fantasy leagues unless you’re streaming against him.

Doyle has missed a little over a week since leaving last Wednesday’s game against the Cubs with left wrist inflammation. This is a positive update on it that makes it seem likely it won’t linger into the regular season.

Freeland is a little behind because of back spasms, but aside from a big miss to Aaron Judge that was rightfully rocketed 453 feet out to left field, he looked good today. He should still have time to stretch out to at least five innings before the season starts.

Moniak figures to open the year as Colorado’s primary DH after posting some abysmal defensive metrics in right field last year. There’s a reason the front office went out and acquired speedy outfielder Jake McCarthy from the division-rival Diamondbacks in the offseason. Assuming he makes the transition seamlessly to the new role there’s no reason to think he can’t build on last year’s 24-homer breakthrough campaign with hitter-friendly Coors Field serving as the metaphorical wind in his sails.

Freeland has been dealing with back spasms, but he’s feeling well enough to get the ball against the vaunted USA lineup in an exhibition bout. Freeland should be ready to go for the regular season, but offers not even a morsel of fantasy upside in his left arm at this stage of his career.

Dollander’s velocity has been up by about one mph in his first two outings this spring, and he had a fine 35 percent CSW today. He’s not promised a rotation spot after the Rockies added three veteran starters over the winter, but the team surely wants him to claim one and he seems to be on his way to doing so.
