Ezequiel Tovar Hitting Off a Tee
Ezequiel Tovar (oblique) said he has been hitting off a tee for four days but has yet to take full batting practice. Tovar is making progress, but with the All-Star break quickly approaching, it seems like a good bet that we won't see him back with the Rockies until the start of the second half of the season on July 18. The 23-year-old starting shortstop has been on the 10-day injured list since early June after injuring his left oblique muscle. In addition to his injury, it's been a disappointing 2025 campaign for the Venezuelan infielder, as he's hit .258/.301/.406 with a .708 OPS, three home runs, 10 RBI, 14 runs scored and two stolen bases in 128 at-bats after he had 26 home runs, 78 RBI and a league-high 45 doubles in 157 games in 2024. Until Tovar is able to return to Colorado, rookie Ryan Ritter will serve as the starter at the 6.
