Carrigg hit his 12th and final homer of the season with a solo shot off Trevor Richards in the eighth. The 24-year-old put together a solid season with a .279/.341/.477 slash, and should be a regular for Colorado for 2027 and the foreseeable future.

Carrigg tagged right-hander Dennis Santana for a 404-foot (105.7-mph EV) three-run blast in the seventh inning that pulled the Rockies to within six runs at 12-6. He also singled three times in the ballgame. The 24-year-old has had a solid rookie campaign, slashing .276/.340/.469 with 11 homers, 51 RBI and 11 stolen bases in 361 plate appearances.

Carrigg had an incredible day at the plate, starting with a base hit in the first inning. He then took Walker Buehler deep for a two-run homer in the third. Carrigg doubled in his next at-bat, then went yard again, extending the Rockies’ lead with a three-run blast off Randy Vásquez. The 24-year-old has emerged as a solid, versatile player for the Rockies, splitting time between the outfield and shortstop. He’s hitting .270/.338/.474 with 10 homers, 45 runs scored, 45 RBI, and nine steals across 327 plate appearances.

As a team, the Rockies had ten hits in the contest, all of them singles. They were only able to muster one earned run against Framber Valdez and company though. The 24-year-old outfielder is now slashing .266/.339/.446 with seven homers, 39 RBI and nine stolen bases in 308 plate appearances.

Carrigg’s homer was an inside-the-parker, and he was one of two Rockies who both tripled and homered Friday; TJ Rumfield being the other. The 24-year-old has gone deep seven times in 2026 with a solid slash of .266/.343/.460 in his 71 games. He should be a regular to begin 2026, and there’s some fantasy upside in his bat to consider for the foreseeable future.

Carrigg is at shortstop and hitting fifth after being held out of the starting lineup for two consecutive games for disciplinary reasons after making an inappropriate gesture towards fans in Atlanta over the weekend.

It’s a bit unclear based on remarks by Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer whether Carrigg is sitting out his second consecutive contest for disciplinary reasons. The 24-year-old rookie was benched for Sunday’s series finale against the Braves after making an inappropriate gesture towards fans earlier in the weekend. It’s worth noting that he pinch-hit during Sunday’s game, so he’s presumably available off the bench during Monday’s contest as well.

No word yet on whether or not it’ll be just a one-game punishment or if the 24-year-old outfielder could miss multiple games. Jake McCarthy will cover center field on Sunday while Hunter Goodman serves as the team’s designated hitter and Brett Sullivan gets a start behind the dish for the Rockies.

Carrigg has hit a bit of a rough patch recently, hitting .230 (17-for-74) with zero homers and four steals across 20 games since the start of August. It’ll be Ezequiel Tovar handling shortstop with Mickey Moniak, Jake McCarthy and Zac Veen in the outfield for this one. The 24-year-old rookie offers enough all-around fantasy production to hang onto a roster spot in deeper mixed leagues, but can be cut loose in shallow formats with five weeks left on the calendar.

Carrigg has batted third or higher in eight of nine games since the start of August, including seven straight since the trade deadline. The 24-year-old rookie possesses an exciting blend of fantasy-relevant skills and has gotten off to a phenomenal start in the majors, slashing .297/.385/.503 with five homers, 30 RBI and six steals in 196 plate appearances through 50 games. He’s going to be an extremely popular pick in fantasy drafts next spring.

Carrigg is now up to five stolen bases on the season. The 24-year-old has been excellent in his first year of MLB action, and the three-hit night ups his slash to .305/.399/.525 slash in his 41 games. It’s time to take Carrigg seriously if you haven’t already.

Carrigg didn’t start Friday in the first game after the break, sitting in favor of Tyler Freeman and Troy Johnston. Had he been in center, he probably would have done a better job on Spencer Steer’s inside-the-park homer in the eighth. Carrigg likely isn’t as good as his current .288/.371/.529 line, but it’s weird that the Rockies are still treating him as a part-timer when he’s outplaying most of the alternatives (Jake McCarthy being the exception) and he’s the one guy on their roster likely to be a part of the team’s 2028 outfield.

The Rockies are battling a crowded outfield mix at the moment against right-handed pitching, so expect Carrigg to see the occasional day off as they attempt to work everyone in. Tyler Freeman will start in his place in right field and bat eighth for the Rockies against Brady Singer and the Reds on Friday evening at Coors Field.

Carrigg has provided a real spark for the Rockies since being called up back in mid-June, hitting .284 (27-for-95) with 23 runs scored, four homers, 22 RBI and two steals in 29 games. The 24-year-old speedster should continue playing regularly and bat in the middle of the Rockies’ lineup.

Carrigg doubled and scored in the sixth inning, then singled and scored the go-ahead run in the eighth, crossing home plate for what would be the winning run for Colorado. The 24-year-old outfielder is hitting an excellent .318/.390/.600 with four homers, 23 runs scored, and 21 RBI across 101 plate appearances.

The double with two outs and the bases loaded against Tanner Scott originally gave the Rockies the lead, but Hunter Goodman was called out at home plate after a review. It was Carrigg’s second double of the game. Because he was the batter when the ninth ended, he opened the 10th as the automatic runner and scored his third run of the game then. Carrigg has been just a part-timer against righties (and regular against lefties) lately, but trades should eventually clear the way for him to play full-time, assuming that his production holds up. He’s batting .309/.385/.593 through 97 plate appearances.

Carrigg put the Rockies on the board early, taking Robbie Ray deep for a three-run blast in the first inning. He later knocked a base hit and scored a run in the ninth. The 24-year-old outfielder has made the most of his opportunity with the Rockies, hitting .293/.378/.573 with four homers, 18 runs scored, 19 RBI, and two steals across 91 plate appearances.

Carrigg’s sac fly wasn’t actually caught. Wilyer Abreu had the hard liner to right with the bases loaded go off his glove, but he quickly recovered to throw out the runner advancing to second base. The runner on third did score on play, though, just as he almost surely would have had the ball been caught. Carrigg is now at .271/.379/.542 with three homers and 11 RBI in 14 games since being called up. His exit velocity numbers aren’t as impressive as his line, but given his stolen base potential, he seems worth rostering in mixed leagues while he plays regularly.

Carrigg’s home run was his third in the first 27 at-bats of his big league career. He’s getting the chance to play with Tyler Freeman (concussion) sidelined. Carrigg is showing enough with the bat to provide short-term value at least. With multiple seasons with at least 40 stolen bases in the minor leagues, there’s even upside for more.

Carrigg has two homers while going 4-for-15 in four starts since being called up Tuesday. That the Rockies have played all four games in terrific offensive environments makes judgements on his performance premature, but he’s still a nice option in these next two games, at least.
