Rockies' Troy Johnston: RBI in four straight games
Rotowire
Johnston went 2-for-7 with two RBI and a walk across both games of Sunday's doubleheader against the Mets.
Johnston carried over a strong homestand to Colorado's weekend series in New York. Despite going only 3-for-12, Johnston managed to drive in four runs across the three-game set. He's maintained a .315 average across 98 plate appearances to begin the season, also driving in 16 runs.

Rockies' Edouard Julien: Strong showing across doubleheader
Rotowire
Julien went 3-for-8 with three runs scored and a walk across both games of Sunday's doubleheader against the Mets.
Julien served as the leadoff hitter in both contests and continued his recent success of getting on base and scoring runs. He extended his hitting streak to six games, and he also has seven runs scored and five RBI in that span. Julien has started 18 of the Rockies' last 19 contests against right-handed pitching, and his strong start to the season should keep his role secure for the foreseeable future.

Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Lifts seventh homer in nightcap
Rotowire
Goodman went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 3-0 win over the Mets in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader.
Goodman didn't feature in the matinee game, but he started and caught all nine innings in the nightcap. He also had the game's biggest hit when he took Kodai Senga deep in the third inning. Goodman has gone 12-for-41 (.293) with five homers and six RBI across his last 10 contests. Overall, he's batting .263 with an .887 OPS, seven homers, 11 RBI, 19 runs scored, six doubles and a stolen base over 26 contests. The catcher's steady power is nice, though it comes with some risk since he's striking out a 37.8 percent clip this year.

Rockies' Zach Agnos: Collects second save
Rotowire
Agnos allowed a hit and didn't walk or strike out a batter over a scoreless inning to earn the save in a 3-0 win over the Mets in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader.
Agnos got the opportunity for this save since Victor Vodnik worked a perfect frame to earn the save in the matinee game. This was the second save of the season for Agnos, who previously pitched 3.1 scoreless innings to close out the Rockies' win over the Astros on April 8. He's primarily worked as a multi-inning option this season, and he's allowed at least two runs in five of his nine appearances, so steady high-leverage usage doesn't seem likely. The right-hander sports a 5.71 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 16:7 K:BB over 17.1 innings.

Rockies' Chase Dollander: Cruises to win in nightcap
Rotowire
Dollander (3-2) gave up five hits and two walks while striking out seven over seven shutout innings to earn the win in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Mets.
This was Dollander's first start of the season, and he delivered his best outing yet. He's allowed one run or less over each of his last six games, five of which have been multi-inning performances. The right-hander appears to be fully stretched out after throwing 105 pitches (63 strikes) in this start, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him stick in the rotation. Over seven appearances spanning 32 innings, Dollander has a 2.25 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 39:9 K:BB this season. His next outing is projected to be a tough test at home against Atlanta.

Rockies' Victor Vodnik: Earns save in Game 1 of twin bill
Rotowire
Vodnik struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in a 3-1 win over the Mets in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader.
Vodnik had allowed seven runs across his last 1.2 innings, so it was encouraging to see him pitch a clean frame Sunday. He has converted four of six save chances this season while pitching to a 6.94 ERA, 1.97 WHIP and 10:6 K:BB over 11.2 innings. Vodnik is operating as the Rockies' closer for now, but he can't afford to have too many more bad outings. Antonio Senzatela and Zach Agnos (two each) are the other relievers to log multiple saves so far for the Rockies this season, though both of them are capable of long-relief assignments and may not see steady late-inning work.

Rockies' Jose Quintana: Picks up first win of season
Rotowire
Quintana (1-2) allowed one run on two hits and two walks while striking out five over 5.1 innings to earn the win in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Mets.
Quintana's start was pushed back a day by Saturday's rainout. He ended up having his best outing of the season, limiting the damage to a fifth-inning solo shot by Tyrone Taylor. While three of Quintana's four starts have come on the road, he still has an uninspiring 4.91 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 9:11 K:BB across 18.1 innings this season. That doesn't bode well for when he sees a steadier stretch of time at Coors Field. Quintana is tentatively projected for a brutal matchup at home against Atlanta in his next start.

Rockies' Blas Castano: Headed back to Triple-A
Rotowire
Castano was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque after Sunday's doubleheader sweep of the Mets.
Castano was called up to serve as Colorado's 27th man ahead of Sunday's pair of contests in New York, but he didn't appear in either victory. The right-hander will now return to the Triple-A level, where he's posted a 1.23 ERA and 0.68 WHIP with five strikeouts over seven appearances with Triple-A Tacoma and Triple-A Albuquerque so far this year.
Castro (knee) is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Mets.
Castro won't start either contest of Sunday's twin bill, marking a third straight absence after departing Thursday's game against the Padres due to right knee soreness. Tyler Freeman will replace him in the lineup while Edouard Julien mans the keystone.
Dollander is starting Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Mets, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.
Dollander has been effective pitching behind an opener early this season, but he'll make his first start of the campaign to close out Sunday's doubleheader. After posting a 6.52 ERA in 21 starts as a rookie last year, the right-hander has showcased his potential across his first six outings of 2026 with a 2.88 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 32:7 K:BB over 25 innings.

Rockies' Blas Castano: Promoted for doubleheader
Rotowire
The Rockies recalled Castano from Triple-A Albuquerque to serve as the 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader against the Mets.
Castano was claimed off waivers from Seattle on Tuesday and will now receive his first look in the majors with his new organization. The right-hander has allowed one earned run over 7.1 innings at Triple-A between Albuquerque and Tacoma.

Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Back on bench for Game 1
Rotowire
Doyle is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Mets.
It's the third absence in the past four games for Doyle, who has a .219/.288/.288 slash line with one homer and six steals through 80 plate appearances this season. Jake McCarthy is picking up another start in center field in Sunday's matinee.

Rockies' Hunter Goodman: On bench for matinee
Rotowire
Goodman is out of the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Mets.
Goodman is batting .300 (12-for-40) with five doubles and four homers over his past 10 games but won't start both contests of Sunday's twin bill. Brett Sullivan is starting behind the plate in the matinee, with Goodman likely to step back in for the nightcap.

Rockies' Willi Castro: Absence continuing for Game 1
Rotowire
Castro (knee) is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Mets.
Castro was held out of the lineup Friday after exiting Thursday's contest due to knee soreness, and he won't rejoin the starting nine for Sunday's matinee. It remains to be seen if he'll be available off the bench or for Game 2.
Rockies' Jose Quintana: Saturday's start rained out
Rotowire
Quintana and the Rockies won't play the Mets on Saturday, as the game was postponed due to inclement weather.
The two sides will play two games Sunday to make up for Saturday's contest, and Quintana will likely get the nod to start one of them. The 37-year-old has had a rough start to the year so far, posting a 6.23 ERA and 1.85 WHIP while turning in a 4:9 K:BB through his first 13 innings (three starts).
