Zac Veen Day-to-Day With Knee Injury
MLB.com reports that Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Zac Veen (knee) is day-to-day with a right-knee contusion that he injured while sliding to make a catch in the outfield during a spring training game on March 9. Veen hasn't played since, putting his status in question for Opening Day on Thursday. Before his injury, the 24-year-old former ninth overall pick in 2020 was hitting .250 (5-for-20) with two home runs, four RBI, and two runs scored in 11 Cactus League games this spring. He looked overmatched in his first taste of the big leagues in 2025, going 4-for-34 (.118) at the plate with a homer, two RBI, one steal, two walks, and 14 strikeouts in just 12 games played. Veen hasn't lived up to expectations in the minors the last two years, either, although he transformed his body in the offseason and is jacked. It remains to be seen if it will solve his strikeout issues. We'd expect Veen to start the year either on the injured list or at Triple-A Albuquerque. For now, he's a stash in dynasty/keeper formats, but we should see him back in Denver sooner than later in 2026.
