Rockies' Mickey Moniak: Nearing rehab assignment
Rotowire
Moniak (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday, MLB.com reports.
Moniak is scheduled to play with Albuquerque during its weekend series and will return to Denver on Sunday to be evaluated by the team's medical staff. He could presumably be activated shortly after, potentially for the start of the Rockies' series against the Red Sox on Monday.

Rockies' Willi Castro: Drives in two
Rotowire
Castro went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, a run scored and two RBI on Tuesday against the Cubs.
Castro opened the scoring for the Rockies with an RBI double in the fourth inning, and he knocked in an additional run one frame later. He has had three multi-RBI performances in his last 12 games, also hitting .354 with three homers, 12 RBI, eight runs scored and a stolen base in that span. That positive production has moved Castro up the Rockies' lineup, as he hit second for the fourth consecutive game against right-handed pitching Tuesday.

Rockies' Jake McCarthy: Three hits in win
Rotowire
McCarthy went 3-for-5 with a run scored Tuesday against the Cubs.
McCarthy started his second consecutive game after being out of the lineup for five straight contests due to an illness. He tallied Colorado's first hit of Tuesday's game with a single to lead off the fourth inning and also came around to score in the same frame. McCarthy has four multi-hit performances in his last nine starts, and he's also scored five runs to go along with a stolen base in that span.

Rockies' TJ Rumfield: Reaches double-digit homers
Rotowire
Rumfield went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 5-2 win over the Cubs on Tuesday.
Rumfield gave the Rockies their first lead with a two-run shot in the fourth inning. The long ball was his third over a red-hot seven-game span during which Rumfield has batted .357 (10-for-28) with eight extra-base hits and seven RBI. The hot stretch has pushed his season OPS up to .821, third-best among qualified MLB rookies.

Rockies' Jaden Hill: Records first career save
Rotowire
Hill earned a save against the Cubs on Tuesday by tossing a perfect ninth inning.
With Colorado up by three runs heading into the bottom of the ninth inning, manager Warren Schaeffer turned to Hill to close things out. The right-hander did so without any drama, setting the side down in order on 12 pitches. It was the first save of Hill's career in his 67th outing, all of which have been out of the bullpen. Hill does have a career-high 11 holds on the campaign, so he's been given more high-leverage duties this year. The back of Colorado's bullpen is highly unsettled, and no pitcher on the squad has more than four saves this season, so it's certainly possible that Hill will get more save chances moving forward given his effectiveness Tuesday.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Falls short of qualifying for win
Rotowire
Feltner allowed two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out seven batters over 4.2 innings in a no-decision against the Cubs on Tuesday.
Feltner fell behind quickly, giving up a homer to Pete Crow-Armstrong to begin the bottom of the first inning. He yielded another run in the second but kept Chicago off the scoreboard thereafter. Feltner's offense got him three runs and the lead in the top of the fourth frame, but the right-hander was pulled with two outs in the bottom of the inning having thrown 104 pitches. That was easily a season-high mark -- Feltner had previously topped out at 87 pitches in a start against the Dodgers on April 18. Part of the reason for the veteran hurler's elevated pitch count was that the Cubs had trouble putting the ball in play against him, as Chicago batters swung and missed 13 times and fouled off 21 pitches, though that at least helped him to a season-best seven punchouts. Feltner will carry a 5.05 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 33:16 K:BB through 41 innings into his next start, which is lined up to come at home versus Boston.
Sullivan (illness) will start Wednesday's game against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.
The Rockies called Sullivan up from Triple-A Albuquerque last Friday to fill the fifth spot in their rotation. Despite being tasked with making his MLB debut in an extreme hitter-friendly venue in Las Vegas, Sullivan was able to keep the Athletics off the board for three innings while striking out three batters and allowing just three baserunners. The 23-year-old lefty ended up having his start cut short after falling ill, but he's since recovered from the ailment and performed well enough during his time on the mound to earn himself another turn through the rotation. Even though he excelled in his debut and will be pitching in a more favorable environment for his second start, Sullivan will still be difficult to trust for fantasy purposes after he posted underwhelming numbers over a larger sample at Triple-A (5.76 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, 50:19 K:BB in 54.2 innings).
Carrigg went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, an additional RBI and a walk in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Cubs.
Carrigg was credited with driving in all four of his club's runs, as he drew a bases-loaded walk in the sixth inning before cranking a three-run homer in the eighth frame to give the Rockies a lead they would ultimately squander. The early returns on the rookie have been positive, as he has gone 7-for-27 (.259) with three homers, a triple, eight RBI, six runs and three walks through seven games. Carrigg has yet to attempt a steal, though he's known for his activity on the basepaths after swiping 29 bags in 57 games with Triple-A Albuquerque prior to being promoted.

Rockies' Seth Halvorsen: Charged with blown save
Rotowire
Halvorsen blew the save in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Cubs. He allowed two inherited runners to score on a hit and a walk without recording an out.
Entering with the bases loaded, no outs and the Rockies clinging to a one-run lead in the ninth inning, Halvorsen gave up an RBI single to Pedro Ramirez before walking Matt Shaw to bring in the game-winning run. While the runs were charged to Juan Mejia's line and he was saddled with the loss, Halvorsen was credited with the blown save in his first save situation of the season. The right-hander has split time between Triple-A Albuquerque and Colorado in 2026, posting a 3.31 ERA, 1.78 WHIP and 16:14 K:BB across 16.1 innings with the big-league club.
Rockies' Michael Lorenzen: Settles for no-decision Monday
Rotowire
Lorenzen did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing one run on five hits and a walk over five innings against the Cubs. He struck out five.
After allowing a leadoff homer to Pete Crow-Armstrong, Lorenzen worked through the rest of his outing without allowing any further damage. In what has been a difficult season for the veteran right-hander, he has now turned in back-to-back respectable starts, allowing one run across five innings in each outing. Lorenzen will take a 2-8 record with a 7.13 ERA and 1.85 WHIP across 70.2 innings (16 appearances) into his next outing, tentatively slated for Sunday against the Pirates.

Rockies' Troy Johnston: Bowing out of starting nine
Rotowire
Johnston is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.
After going 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, a walk, four RBI and three runs in Sunday's 23-9 win while lefty Jeffrey Springs started for the Athletics, the left-handed-hitting Johnston will head to the bench for Monday's matchup with southpaw Shota Imanaga. Johnston will give up his spot in the lineup to Jake McCarthy (illness), who will return to the starting nine after sitting in the past five games.

Rockies' Eiberson Castellano: Jettisoned to minors
Rotowire
The Rockies optioned Castellano to Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.
Castellano picked up a save in Sunday's 23-9 blowout win over the Athletics with three scoreless frames in his major-league debut. He's clearing off the roster to make room for the return of Victor Vodnik (elbow) from the injured list. Castellano is likely to be used as a starting pitcher and/or bulk reliever at Albuquerque.

Rockies' Victor Vodnik: Rejoins Colorado bullpen
Rotowire
The Rockies activated Vodnik (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Monday.
Vodnik is fully recovered from the ulnar nerve inflammation in his right elbow that sent him to the IL in late May, getting clearance to return after making two scoreless rehab appearances at Triple-A Albuquerque. The 26-year-old had yielded 14 runs over nine innings covering his last 10 outings before going on the IL, so the Rockies seem unlikely to utilize Vodnik in high-leverage situations right out of the chute. Eventually, though, Vodnik could get another chance at close if he pitches well. He still leads the Rockies with four saves this season despite missing nearly a month of action.

Rockies' Jake McCarthy: Returning to lineup
Rotowire
McCarthy (illness) will start in left field and bat seventh in Monday's game versus the Cubs.
McCarthy didn't start any of the previous five contests as he battled back from an illness, though he appeared as a pinch runner in one of those tilts. The 28-year-old had made 23 consecutive starts prior to the aforementioned five-game absence from the lineup.
