Juan Mejia allowed two runs on three hits in two-thirds of an inning as Colorado's opener on Thursday. Colorado, however, came back to win, 3-2, against Houston.
Fantasy Impact
Two batters into his outing, Mejia was already trailing 1-0 as Jose Altuve singled, took second on a wild pitch, and then came in to score on a single by Yordan Alvarez. He seemingly settled down by striking out the next two batters, but then hit Christian Walker with a pitch and allowed an RBI single to Joey Loperfido to end his day early. Mejia has struggled to a 7.00 ERA in nine innings this season, allowing 14 hits with a 7:4 K:BB ratio. It was Mejia's first career start on Thursday but after his struggles, that experiment may not continue.
Juan Mejia picked up his first save of the season on Monday, recording five outs to help the Rockies to a 9-7 victory over the Astros.
Fantasy Impact
Mejia did not allow a hit, walked one, and struck out one for his first save of the season. It was his second career save as he earned his other one on August 17, 2025 against the Diamondbacks. Mejia has appeared in four games this season and has a 3.00 ERA with a 3:2 K:BB ratio. He is now the third different pitcher to register a save for the Rockies this season, joining Jimmy Herget and Victor Vodnik. Despite what appears to be an improved Rockies' team, it's best to avoid this situation until someone emerges with the gig.
Juan Mejia allowed three hits and one earned run while throwing 22 pitches, but still managed to earn the save in the Rockies' 6-5 victory over the Diamondbacks.
Fantasy Impact
Mejia recorded his first career save on Sunday, but his performance was a struggle. His other opportunity came on August 11, when he allowed two earned runs and blew the save. Based on these recent performances, he may not see many more chances to close out games. Following yesterday's performance, Mejia holds a 4.09 ERA and 1.18 WHIP across 38 games this season.
