Julien went 2-for-5 with a triple, one RBI and two runs scored Thursday against the Padres.
Julien took advantage of Colorado's recent homestand, going 7-for-23 with five RBI and four runs scored across six games. On Thursday, he chipped in an RBI single in the second inning and then led off the fourth frame with a triple before coming around to score. While nearly all of Julien's production has come at home, he's hitting .273 with nine runs scored, 10 RBI and one home run across 75 plate appearances to begin the season.

Rockies' Victor Vodnik: Implodes in second loss
Rotowire
Vodnik (0-2) blew the save and took the loss Thursday against the Padres, allowing five runs on four hits and one walk in two-thirds of an inning. He struck out two.
Summoned to protect an 8-5 lead in the ninth inning, Vodnik put forth his worst effort of the season so far. The right-hander gave up a season-high five runs and four knocks in what was his shortest appearance of 2026. Vodnik has a troublesome 7.59 ERA, 2.16 WHIP and 8:6 K:BB over 10.2 innings as Colorado's closer, so it wouldn't be surprising if the Rockies turned to someone like Jaden Hill or Seth Halvorsen the next time a save chance presents itself.

Rockies' Mickey Moniak: Launches pair of solo homers
Rotowire
Moniak went 4-for-5 with a two solo home runs and an additional run scored in Thursday's 10-8 loss to San Diego.
Moniak recorded the fifth game of his career with multiple homers and his third career outing with at least four hits. The veteran outfielder is swinging a hot bat over his eight-game hitting streak, during which Moniak has gone 13-for-31 (.419) with eight extra-base hits, six RBI and one stolen base. Moniak's fantasy upside should increase significantly when he gets to work from Coors Field, but the Rockies are now going on a six-game road trip and won't be back at home until May 1 versus Atlanta.

Rockies' Sammy Peralta: Expected to be called up Friday
Rotowire
Peralta is set to be called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Peralta has made seven appearances out of the bullpen with Albuquerque since the Rockies claimed him off waivers April 4, posting a 3.72 ERA and 1.09 WHIP with seven strikeouts over 9.2 innings. The 26-year-old will give Colorado another left-handed option out of the its bullpen ahead of a three-game series against the Mets.
Feltner was removed from his start against the Padres on Thursday due to right triceps tightness, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Feltner was only able to make it through two innings before coming out of Thursday's contest, during which he allowed two earned runs on two hits and a walk while striking out three batters. The severity of the right-hander's injury remains unknown, though the Rockies could send him in for imaging to determine whether he's dealing with a structural issue.

Rockies' Willi Castro: Makes early exit Thursday
Rotowire
Castro was removed from Thursday's game against the Padres with right knee soreness, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
It's unclear how Castro sustained his injury, but his knee was apparently bothering him enough to warrant his removal from Thursday's contest. Tyler Freeman entered as Castro's replacement and would be the favorite to pick up starts at second base if the latter has to miss time.

Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Another day off Thursday
Rotowire
Doyle is absent from the lineup for Thursday's tilt versus the Padres.
It's the second straight day out of the lineup for Doyle, though he did get a plate appearance off the bench Wednesday (and struck out). Doyle has been in the Rockies' lineup for less than 70 percent of his team's games thus far, which is not a rate fantasy managers had in mind when they took the outfielder in drafts this spring. The 27-year-old hasn't exactly made a case to play more, having put together just a .206/.270/.279 batting line and 35.1 percent strikeout rate through 24 contests. Jake McCarthy will make a second consecutive start in center field for the Rockies in Thursday's matinee.

Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Taking seat Thursday
Rotowire
Goodman is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Padres.
Goodman had started each of the previous five tilts, so he's earned some rest for Thursday's matinee. Brett Sullivan will do the catching and bat seventh for the Rockies.

Rockies' Seth Halvorsen: Back in big-league bullpen
Rotowire
The Rockies recalled Halvorsen from Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday.
Halvorsen wasn't able to win a spot on the Opening Day roster but will get a look now after yielded just two runs with a 12:5 K:BB in his first 10 innings at Albuquerque. His stay could be a short one, as Halvorsen is a good bet to be sent back down when Jimmy Herget returns from paternity leave.

Rockies' Jimmy Herget: Goes on paternity list
Rotowire
The Rockies placed Herget on the paternity list Thursday.
Herget will be away from the club for a few days while welcoming a new addition to the family. Seth Halvorsen has taken his spot on the roster and in the bullpen.
Rumfield went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI on Wednesday against the Padres.
Rumfield drove in one run with a single in the fourth inning, and he followed that up with a run-scoring double four frames later. He's struggled mightily since a hot start to the season, collecting only eight hits across his last 51 at-bats with six RBI and one run scored. Positively, Rumfield has only struck out 16.8 percent of the time across 95 plate appearances to begin the season.

Rockies' Mickey Moniak: Seven-game hitting streak
Rotowire
Moniak went 2-for-4 with two doubles, one RBI and one run scored Wednesday against the Padres.
Moniak played a key role in a four-run second inning for the Rockies, delivering an RBI double before coming around to score. The knock extended his hitting streak to seven games, during which he's gone 9-for-26 with five doubles, one home run, four RBI and five runs scored. Five of those contests have come at Coors Field, but Moniak has also maintained a .806 OPS across 23 plate appearances on the road early in the new campaign.

Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Three extra-base hits in win
Rotowire
Goodman went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, two doubles, a walk and two total runs scored in Wednesday's 8-3 win over the Padres.
Goodman has four homers and five doubles over his last eight games, batting .303 (10-for-33) in that span. He's been one of the best hitting options behind the dish so far this season, batting .264 with an .880 OPS, six homers, nine RBI, 17 runs scored, six doubles and a stolen base over 24 contests. Goodman was good for 31 homers and 91 RBI over 144 contests in 2025, and while the run production is lagging a bit this year, the power is still there despite a 37.1 percent strikeout rate.
Sugano (2-1) allowed a run on five hits and a walk while striking out four over 5.2 innings to earn the win over the Padres on Wednesday.
Sugano threw 64 of 101 pitches for strikes in this outing. He came up an out short of a quality start, but this is the third time in five appearances this season he's limited an opponent to one run. He also avoided giving up a home run for the first time. Sugano has a 3.42 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 19:6 K:BB over 26.1 innings, so he's been more effective than dominant to begin his first year with the Rockies. The right-hander is projected to make his next start on the road versus the Reds.

Rockies' Kyle Freeland: Tosses 41 pitches in sim game
Rotowire
Freeland (shoulder) threw 41 pitches in a simulated game Wednesday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Freeland utilized his entire arsenal and told reporters after the session that he had no issues with his shoulder. The 32-year-old southpaw is eligible to be activated off the 15-day injured list April 28, and it looks like he'll be ready to return to major-league action at that time, barring any setbacks.

Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Exiting lineup Wednesday
Rotowire
Tovar is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Padres.
Tovar has gone just 5-for-36 at the plate across his last 11 games, so he will get a breather to regroup. Willi Castro will receive the nod at shortstop for Colorado and will occupy the No. 8 spot in the batting order.

Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Absent from lineup
Rotowire
Doyle is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.
Doyle will receive a day off after going just 2-for-14 with a 0:4 BB:K so far during the Rockies' homestand. Jake McCarthy will patrol center field and bat ninth in Doyle's stead.
