Tyler Anderson Stumbles Against St. Louis

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Tyler Anderson entered Monday's game on a streak of five straight quality starts, and for six innings, he was just as dominant.

Garrett Hampson Steals First MLB Base

Colorado Rockies second baseman Garrett Hampson was brought up to fill in for the injured DJ LeMahieu, and so far, he's been everything the team hoped he would be.

Alcides Escobar Gains Third Base Eligibility

Kansas City Royals shortstop Alcides Escobar started at third base for the fifth time this season on Sunday, earning him additional position eligibility for any poor fantasy owners that are stuck owning him.

Gerardo Parra Continues To Slump

Colorado Rockies outfielder Gerardo Parra has been surprisingly valuable this season as he's hit five home runs and stolen seven bases while batting .282, but it's been rough going for him since the All-Star break.

Chad Bettis Nearing Return

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Chad Bettis has been on the shelf dealing with blister issues, but his rehab start on Saturday went off without a hitch.

Colorado Rockies rookie outfielder Noel Cuevas took a trip back to Albuquerque on Sunday as his spot was taken by first baseman Ryan McMahon.

Tom Murphy Guides Colorado To Sweep

Colorado Rockies catcher Tom Murphy carried the water on both sides of the ball on Sunday as he not only drilled a two-run home run that put Colorado in the lead, but he managed the game behind the plate well enough to help his pitching staff finish out the sweep over Oakland. Murphy's bat has […]

Carlos Gonzalez Still Loves July

In his career, Colorado Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez has hit for a higher batting average in July than in any other month.

Ian Desmond Extends Hit Streak To 12

Colorado Rockies first baseman Ian Desmond may have started his season with a terrible batting average, but he's working on dragging it up day by day.

David Dahl Reinstated, Sent To Triple-A

Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl was officially activated from the disabled list Friday, but he was assigned back to Triple-A Albuquerque.

Adam Ottavino Vultures Save On Friday

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Adam Ottavino took the highest profile role on Friday night by closing out the ninth inning of a 3-1 win against Oakland.
