Brenton Doyle Scratched on Wednesday With Wrist Inflammation
Colorado Rockies center fielder Brenton Doyle (wrist) was scratched from Wednesday's Cactus League contest against the Chicago Cubs with left-wrist inflammation, according to Thomas Harding of MLB.com. The Rockies are saying it's precautionary and not from a recent hit-by-pitch. Although it doesn't sound like a serious injury, it's not what the 27-year-old wants to deal with as he looks to bounce back from a disappointing third year in the big leagues. Doyle broke out in 2024 with a .260/.317/.446 slash line, .764 OPS, 23 home runs, 72 RBI, 82 runs scored, and 30 steals in 149 games, but he regressed to a .233/.274/.376 slash line, .651 OPS, 15 homers, 57 RBI, 57 runs, and 18 stolen bases in 138 games played in 2025. If he can stay healthy, though, fantasy managers should look at him as a value pick this year. Doyle's batted-ball metrics (44.6% hard-hit rate, 10.8% barrel rate, and 89.9 mph average exit velocity) point to a rebound.
