Rockies' Nick Martini: Gets spot on 40-man roster
The Rockies selected Martini's contract Sunday.
Martini has had a fantastic spring, slashing .389/.511/.556 with two homers, four RBI, two stolen bases and a 7:6 BB:K over 45 plate appearances. His strong play has earned him a spot on Colorado's Opening Day roster, and he could land a starting role in left field to begin the campaign with Zac Veen optioned to the minors Sunday.

Rockies' Zac Veen: Sent to Triple-A
The Rockies optioned Veen to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
The 23-year-old seemed like a solid bet to be starting in the outfield Opening Day for the Rockies after Nolan Jones was traded to the Guardians, but the organization will instead send him back to Albuquerque to begin the campaign. Veen had a .757 OPS in 21 games in his first taste of the Triple-A level last year, and he may not have to wait long before making his big-league debut in 2025. Nick Martini appears set to open the year as Colorado's primary left fielder after having his contract selected Sunday.

Rockies' Jordan Beck: Some improvement to close spring
Beck went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's Cactus League game against the White Sox.
Beck had a rough start to spring training, which led to some talk of him being on the roster bubble. However, he has collected five hits across his last 15 spring at-bats, highlighted by a pair of home runs, a double and four stolen bases. The Rockies' decision to trade Nolan Jones should also help Beck's chances of breaking camp with the big-league club and seeing regular at-bats, though the team has been clear that it has not yet made decisions about its outfield alignment other than Brenton Doyle starting in center field.

Rockies' Austin Gomber: Throws 3.2 innings
Gomber (shoulder) completed 3.2 innings, allowing three earned runs on five hits, in Saturday's Cactus League game against the Cubs, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.
Gomber made his first official Cactus League appearance since Feb. 25 as he continues to return from a sore shoulder. He's likely to begin the season on the injured list as he continues to build up his pitch count, but Saturday's outing was a positive indication that he will be able to return at some point in mid-April.

Rockies' Tyler Freeman: Headed to Colorado
Freeman was traded from the Guardians to the Rockies on Saturday in exchange for Nolan Jones, SI.com reports.
Freeman was in competition for playing time at second base with Cleveland this spring and maintained an impressive 1.080 OPS across 39 at-bats -- including eight extra-base hits. He's struggled to turn his contact-heavy approach at the plate into meaningful big-league production in partial playing time across the last three campaigns, but playing at Coors Field could help him turn a corner. Freeman should get regular run at second base to begin the 2025 season with Thairo Estrada (wrist) sidelined, and he could also fill a small-side platoon in left field.

Rockies' Nolan Jones: Scratched Saturday
Jones was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's Cactus League game against the White Sox, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
The Rockies haven't yet given a reason for Jones' removal from the starting nine, but the team should offer some clarity shortly. In the meantime, Benny Montgomery will patrol left field and bat eighth.

Rockies' Jaden Hill: Optioned to Albuquerque
The Rockies optioned Hill to Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday.
Hill made his major-league debut with the Rockies last season, turning in a 5.06 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 10.2 innings over nine appearances. His shaky performance followed him into spring training (six runs allowed in 8.1 innings), so the Rockies will send him back to Albuquerque's bullpen to begin 2025.

Rockies' Kyle Farmer: In line for second base job
Farmer is expected to handle the bulk of the second-base reps for the Rockies to begin the season while Thairo Estrada (wrist) is sidelined, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Estrada will miss 4-to-8 weeks after being diagnosed with a fractured right wrist, so Farmer will be given a lengthy look. The 34-year-old slashed only .214/.293/.353 last season with the Twins, but he could be relevant in deeper leagues while playing half his games at Coors Field. If Farmer struggles out of the gate, it could open the door for prospect Adael Amador to get another look.

Rockies' Thairo Estrada: Out with fractured wrist
Estrada was diagnosed with a fractured right wrist Friday and is expected to be sidelined 4-to-8 weeks, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
The second baseman suffered the injury Wednesday on a hit-by-pitch and will now be sidelined for the foreseeable future. Estrada is scheduled to undergo another set of X-rays in about four weeks, so his absence is likely to run through mid-May, at least. In the meantime, the Rockies plan to give Kyle Farmer significant run at the keystone to begin the season. Prospect Adael Amador might also get a look if he has a quick start to the campaign at Triple-A Albuquerque.

Rockies' Austin Gomber: Set for Saturday start
Gomber (shoulder) will start Saturday's Cactus League game against the Cubs, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.
Gomber has been sidelined by a sore shoulder since early March, and the team announced Thursday that he will begin the season on the injured list. He'll reportedly be ready for his debut by mid-April, and the fact that he'll take the mound Saturday supports a quick return to action.

Rockies' Thairo Estrada: Returns to lineup Thursday
Estrada (head) will start at second base and bat leadoff in Thursday's Cactus League game versus the Rangers.
Estrada last played on Saturday, when he had to be lifted from the game after being struck in the head by Michael Taylor's foot while tagging him out at second base. Estrada didn't suffer any known concussion and is now ready to go after a few days of rest. Estrada will be the Rockies' primary second baseman in 2025.

Rockies' Austin Gomber: Poised to open season on IL
Gomber (shoulder) will begin the season on the 15-day injured list, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.
Gomber is recovering well from left shoulder soreness, but he's made just one appearance this spring and that was back on Feb. 25. The left-hander is expected to be ready to rejoin the Rockies' rotation early on in the season. Colorado will operation with a four-man rotation until Gomber is ready.

Rockies' Chase Dollander: Likely to start season at Triple-A
Dollander is likely to begin the season in the Triple-A Albuquerque rotation, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.
Dollander has trended up in his last two Cactus League starts, throwing a combined 7.2 scoreless innings with a 10:4 K:BB. However, he yielded 10 runs (nine earned) and walked five over 6.2 frames in his first three outings, and the Rockies evidently think he could use a little more seasoning in the minors. While Dollander appears headed to Albuquerque for now, he remains a good bet to spend a large chunk of the 2025 campaign in the Rockies' rotation.

Rockies' Keston Hiura: Sent to minor-league camp
The Rockies reassigned Hiura to minor-league camp Wednesday.
Though he's just 28 years old and has three double-digit home-run seasons on his resume at the MLB level, Hiura's high strikeout rates and lack of defensive flexibility have made it difficult for him to stick in the big leagues over the past two seasons. He spent the majority of the 2024 campaign at the Triple-A level and settled for a minor-league deal with the Rockies this winter upon reaching free agency. Hiura hit just .167 and struck out in nine of his 18 at-bats in Cactus League play, so his dismissal from big-league camp comes as little surprise. He's expected to open the season at Triple-A Albuquerque.

Rockies' Zac Veen: Making case to start in majors
Veen is making a case for a starting role in Colorado's outfield to begin the regular season, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.
Saunders didn't report anything concrete, so Veen's status to begin the season is far from certain. However, he has maintained a 1.038 OPS across 41 at-bats this spring and has two home runs paired with six stolen bases. Those numbers are tempered by a 25.5 percent strikeout rate, but Veen's fantasy potential would be substantial should he crack the roster.

Rockies' Kyle Freeland: Starting Opening Day
Manager Bud Black announced Sunday that Freeland will start Opening Day against the Rays on March 28, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
The left-hander is one of Colorado's longest-tenured players and will take the mound in the season opener after posting a 5.24 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 85:26 K:BB across 113.1 innings last year. Freeland has pitched well in spring training with three earned runs allowed and an 11:1 K:BB over 9.2 frames.

Rockies' Lucas Gilbreath: Starting 2025 in Triple-A
The Rockies optioned Gilbreath to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
After undergoing Tommy John surgery in March 2023, Gilbreath didn't make his 2024 season debut until last August. He then underwent neurogenic thoracic surgery near his left neck/shoulder in the offseason, which limited him to one outing in spring training. The southpaw will begin the 2025 regular season in Triple-A, but he should be in the mix for a promotion when the Rockies need bullpen depth.

Rockies' Thairo Estrada: Removed early Saturday
Estrada was pulled from Saturday's Cactus League game against the White Sox after getting hit in the head, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
The second baseman was hit in the head by Michael Taylor's foot while tagging him out at second base in the fourth frame. Estrada was able to finish the half-inning but was replaced by a pinch hitter in the fifth. Manager Bud Black said the incident shook Estrada up quite a bit, but his removal was precautionary, and he likely won't need to miss much time.
