Fantasy Impact: Farmer spent the 2024 season with the Twins, posting a .214 average, with five home runs, and 25 RBI in 107 games. The veteran will likely serve as a utility player for the Rockies in 2025.

Fantasy Impact: Quantrill posted a 4.98 ERA and a 1.52 WHIP in 29 games with the Rockies last season. The 29-year-old should draw some interest in teams in need of rotation depth.

Fantasy Impact: Rodgers not getting a contract offered is a bit of a surprise considering the playing time he saw in 2024. He will head to the free agent market, with Aaron Schunk likely taking over at second base for Colorado in 2025.

Antonio Senzatela had a rough outing, allowing six earned runs on six hits and four walks while striking out three over 4 1/3 innings in Saturday's 13-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Fantasy Impact: This performance further inflates his already bloated ERA to 6.57 and WHIP to 1.86 for the season. With a low strikeout rate of 5.1 per nine innings and a high FIP of 7.23, Senzatela's fantasy value remains minimal. His inability to control the strike zone, evidenced by a poor 0.88 strikeout-to-walk ratio, makes him a risky play in all fantasy formats. Owners should consider other options unless he shows significant improvement.

Ezequiel Tovar went 3-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Rockies' 13-2 defeat to the Dodgers.

Fantasy Impact: Despite the team's rough outing, Tovar's performance was a bright spot, showcasing his ability to contribute power and contact. His season totals, including a .270 average and 26 home runs, reflect a solid campaign, particularly for a shortstop. Tovar's consistent hitting and occasional power make him a valuable asset in fantasy lineups, though his high strikeout rate and low walk rate highlight areas for potential improvement. His performance in this game, however, reinforces his status as a reliable option at shortstop in most fantasy formats.

Nolan Jones went 2-for-4 with two RBI in the Rockies' 11-4 defeat to the Dodgers.

Fantasy Impact: Despite the team's struggles, Jones managed to contribute a pair of singles, driving in two runs. This performance, albeit in a losing effort, could offer a slight positive note for fantasy managers in leagues where RBI and hits are valued. However, his season-long batting average of .221 and high strikeout rate continue to limit his appeal in most fantasy formats. Given these metrics, Jones remains a risky play, primarily useful in deeper leagues or as a situational pick against favorable pitching matchups. His ability to occasionally drive in runs does not offset the overall drag his batting average and strikeouts could have on fantasy rosters.

Charlie Blackmon went 1-for-3 with a home run in the Rockies' 10-8 victory over the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact: He drove in three runs and scored three times, also drawing a walk. This performance, highlighted by his 12th homer of the season, provides a much-needed boost to his .255 batting average and increases his RBI total to 52. Blackmon's ability to contribute significantly in runs scored and occasional power makes him a viable fantasy option, especially in deeper leagues. His consistent playing time and spot in a potent Rockies lineup should keep him relevant, despite a batting average that might not jump off the page.

Seth Halvorsen secured his second save of the season, allowing one hit and striking out one in a scoreless inning as the Rockies edged out the Cardinals 10-8.

Fantasy Impact: This performance underscores his growing reliability in high-pressure situations, despite a season marred by a high FIP which suggests some underlying struggles. With a solid ERA of 1.69 and a WHIP of 0.94, Halvorsen is carving out a niche, though his moderate K/9 rate of 8.4 might limit his upside in strikeout-heavy fantasy formats. Fantasy managers should view him as a situational pick rather than a staple, given the volatility his FIP hints at.

Kyle Freeland struggled through 4.1 innings, allowing four earned runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out four in Thursday's 10-8 victory over the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact: Despite the Rockies pulling off a win, Freeland's outing was less than stellar, continuing a trend reflected in his elevated 5.08 season ERA and 1.39 WHIP. His performance this season, characterized by a modest 6.8 K/9 and a high 4.91 FIP, suggests ongoing challenges in maintaining fantasy relevance. Given these metrics, fantasy managers should view Freeland as a risky play, primarily in favorable matchups or as a streaming option, rather than a staple in their rotation.

Austin Gomber struggled in Wednesday's 5-2 defeat against the Cardinals, allowing four earned runs on seven hits with no walks and three strikeouts over five innings.

Fantasy Impact: This performance adds to a season that has been less than stellar for Gomber, who now sports a 4.75 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP through 31 starts. His inability to suppress runs effectively, coupled with a modest strikeout rate of 6.3 K/9, continues to limit his fantasy appeal. Given these metrics and his trend of high earned runs, Gomber remains a risky play in most fantasy formats, particularly in leagues that heavily penalize for ERA and WHIP.

Jordan Beck is out of the starting lineup for the Rockies Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact: Beck will head to the bench with a right-hander on the mound for the Cardinals. Nolan Jones will cover left field and bat eighth.
