Veen is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Kansas City.
It's left-hander Kris Bubic on the bump for the Royals, so the lefty-hitting Veen will begin the contest on the bench. The rookie outfielder has now started two of four games versus lefties and eight of nine contests against righties since being called up. Jordan Beck, Mickey Moniak and Sean Bouchard will be in the outfield for the Rockies to begin Tuesday's series opener.

Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Remains on bereavement list
Rotowire
Doyle (personal) was not activated from the bereavement list prior to Tuesday's game in Kansas City.
Doyle shared on his Instagram account Sunday that he and his wife lost their unborn baby. He has missed the minimum three games while on bereavement, and the Rockies will give him as much time away from the club as he needs during this difficult period.
Halvorsen allowed one hit and struck out two across 1.1 scoreless innings in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Nationals.
The appearance was only Halvorsen's second since April 10, as the Rockies were in the midst of an eight-game losing streak. He was called upon to keep Colorado down one run with runners at first and second in the eighth inning Sunday, and he then remained in the game to conclude the contest. Tyler Kinley tallied the save in Game 2 of the doubleheader with Halvorsen unavailable, but Halvorsen still appears to be the team's primary closer.

Rockies' Braxton Fulford: Tallies first big-league homer
Rotowire
Fulford went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Nationals.
Fulford drew his second start since being recalled Wednesday and hit ninth in the order. He went yard to lead off the sixth inning, accounting for his first big-league hit and homer. Fulford should continue to get looks as the backup catcher so long as Kris Bryant (back) is sidelined, which allows Hunter Goodman to serve as the designated hitter.

Rotowire
Peralta was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
Peralta will head to Triple-A after the Rockies split Sunday's doubleheader with the Nationals. The left-hander did not appear in either contest, and he'll drop down a level after posting a 7.56 ERA and 2.16 WHIP with five strikeouts over 8.1 innings in nine appearances out of Colorado's bullpen so far this year. Right-hander Jaden Hill, who was called up for Sunday's doubleheader, will remain on the 26-man roster in Peralta's place.

Rockies' Antonio Senzatela: Earns win with quality start
Rotowire
Senzatela (1-3) allowed one run on six hits and a walk over six innings during Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against Washington. He struck out two batters and earned a win.
Senzatela gave up a run in the first inning before delivering five scoreless frames to produce his first quality start of the year. It was also the first time he finished at least six innings this season, and the solid outing snapped a three-start losing streak. Senzatela dropped his ERA to 4.81 alongside a lackluster 9:5 K:BB through 24.1 frames. He's given up a whopping 42 hits during that span. Senzatela is lined up for a home matchup with the Reds next weekend.
Kinley allowed a hit and struck out three batters in a scoreless inning during Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Nationals. He earned a save in the win.
Kinley coughed up a leadoff single to Dylan Crews before striking out the next three batters to close out the 3-1 victory. It was Kinley's first save of the year. He's thrown eight consecutive scoreless frames after coughing up two runs in each of his first two appearances of the season. Seth Halvorsen pitched 1.1 innings during Game 1 of the doubleheader.

Rotowire

However, he followed up the big performance by going 0-for-4 with three punchouts in the second game of the doubleheader.

Freeland gave up all three runs during the second inning and did not return for the third due to a finger issue. He threw 25 of 36 pitches for strikes and forced six whiffs. Freeland now owns a 4.85 ERA with a 19:3 K:BB through 26 frames. He was lined up to face the Reds at home next weekend, but the finger issue could push that back.

Rockies' Kris Bryant: Recovering from back injections
Rotowire
Bryant said Sunday that he recently received a couple injections to relieve inflammation in his back, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
The 33-year-old was placed on the 10-day injured list last Monday after being diagnosed with a lumbar degenerative disc disease, but he was initially expected to return after a minimum-length stay on the shelf. However, Bryant said Sunday that he could "barely move and felt nauseated" after going through exercises Saturday, so it wouldn't be surprising if he's not activated Wednesday when first eligible.

Rockies' Evan Justice: DFA'd by Colorado
Rotowire
The Rockies designated Justice for assignment Sunday.
The left-hander has been at Triple-A Albuquerque for the first few weeks of the season, but he's lost his place on the 40-man roster after giving up six earned runs with a 6:9 K:BB in his first five outings. Justice could remain with the Isotopes if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

Rockies' Zach Agnos: Promoted Sunday
Rotowire
The Rockies selected Agnos' contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
The right-hander was unable to secure a spot on Colorado's Opening Day roster but will get his first taste of the majors as Victor Vodnik (shoulder) heads to the injured list. Agnos posted a 1.38 ERA and 63:11 K:BB across 52.1 innings between the High-A and Double-A levels last year, and he's continued to pitch well at Triple-A early in 2025. He's recorded 46 saves during his minor-league career but will likely need to work his way into a high-leverage role for the Rockies.

Rockies' Victor Vodnik: Lands on injured list
Rotowire
The Rockies placed Vodnik on the 15-day injured list Sunday, retroactive to April 17, due to right shoulder inflammation.
The right-hander may have begun experiencing the inflammation following his last appearance Wednesday against the Dodgers, during which he struck out three and walked two in a scoreless inning. Vodnik and Seth Halvorsen have a save apiece for the Rockies this year, and the latter could see more chances while Vodnik is sidelined. Zach Agnos was added to the big-league roster in a corresponding move but is likely to fill a low-leverage role in his first stint in the majors.

Rockies' Jaden Hill: Promoted for twin bill
Rotowire
The Rockies recalled Hill from Triple-A Albuquerque to serve as the 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader against the Nationals.
The right-hander was unable to earn a spot on Colorado's Opening Day roster. but he'll join the big club for the twin bill and provide some bullpen depth. Hill has struck out 15 batters over 7.2 innings for Albuquerque this year, but he allowed four runs without recording an out in his last outing to inflate his ERA to 5.87.
