Colorado Rockies

Tyler Freeman

RF

Freeman has been out since mid-August with a back injury that's bothered him off-and-on all season. Because his absence has been brief, Freeman's rehab assignment should be a short one. He's slashed .247/.317/.314 with three home runs and six stolen bases in 79 contests for the Rockies this season.

Kyle Freeland

SP

Freeland threw 66 of 95 pitches for strikes to get back in the win column. He's won two of his three starts in August, allowing just five runs (three earned) over 21.1 innings with a 13:6 K:BB in that span. Freeland has had a largely unimpressive season, but he's shown an ability to cover heavy innings on some occasions with seven starts of at least six frames. He's at a 6.27 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 98:27 K:BB through 120.2 innings over 22 starts this season. Freeland is lined up to make his next start at home versus the Dodgers, which will be a challenging matchup. He has allowed 14 runs over nine innings in two previous starts versus the Dodgers this season, both of which were in Los Angeles rather than Colorado.

Jose Quintana

SP

Quintana has been building up his workload, with Tuesday's session being his most extensive since being sidelined. He's expected to throw live batting practice Aug. 22, with the goal of reaching 60 pitches.

Hunter Goodman

C

The 26-year-old hasn't seen the field since Aug. 12 due to shoulder inflammation and will be sidelined for at least another week after being diagnosed with a strain. Brett Sullivan has been operating as Colorado's primary backstop with Goodman banged up, and Braxton Fulford was called up Tuesday to fill the backup job.

Chase Dollander

SP

Although Dollander managed to avoid undergoing a full Tommy John procedure, the operation will still put an early end to his second MLB season. He showed significant improvement in 2026, turning in a 3.89 ERA and 1.30 WHIP alongside a 47:18 K:BB in 44 innings across 10 appearances (three starts). A clearer timeline for his return could emerge as the 2027 campaign approaches.
