Rockies' Tyler Kinley: Picks up 12th save
Kinley earned the save in Thursday's 4-2 win over Detroit, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning.
Kinley found himself in some trouble, allowing a pair of Tigers to reach base before ultimately striking out Zach McKinstry to strand the tying runs aboard. The 33-year-old Kinley took over the closing role in Colorado when Victor Vodnik landed on the IL in late August and has now converted six straight save chances. It appears that Kinley may have earned a more permanent grasp on the ninth-inning job as Vodnik, who was activated earlier in the week, was used in the seventh inning Thursday.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Sharp in no-decision
Feltner didn't factor into the decision Thursday against Detroit, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out six.
Feltner's now turned in back-to-back strong outings, allowing three runs on just five hits across 11.2 innings in that span. The right-hander's lowered his ERA to 4.89 on the campaign with a 1.39 WHIP and 127:47 K:BB across 27 starts (143.2 innings). Feltner's currently on track for a home matchup with the Diamondbacks early next week in his next outing.

Rockies' Chase Dollander: Lights out in first pro season
Dollander has a 2.25 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 58 strikeouts in 48 innings through nine starts for Double-A Hartford.
All told, he has a 2.59 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 169 strikeouts in 118 innings across 23 starts between High-A and Double-A. Dollander is one of the best pitchers in the minors, but his dynasty value doesn't match his real-life value, given that he'll be pitching half his games in Coors Field.

Rockies' Drew Romo: Struggling to find playing time
Romo is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Tigers.
Romo has now picked up just two starts in the Rockies' last seven games. With Jacob Stallings and Hunter Goodman also on hand as options at catcher, Romo is unlikely to see steady enough playing time over the final two weeks of the season to make for a reliable fantasy option, even in NL-only leagues.

Rockies' Charlie Blackmon: Out of lineup
Blackmon is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Detroit.
Southpaw Tarik Skubal will toe the slab for the Tigers, so the lefty-hitting Blackmon will grab a seat. Ryan McMahon will start in the designated-hitter spot in the series finale while Aaron Schunk plays third base.

Rockies' Nolan Jones: Sitting against left-hander
Jones is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Detroit.
The left-handed-hitting Jones will unsurprisingly take a seat against southpaw Tarik Skubal and has now been out of the lineup three times out of the last four games. Jordan Beck will start in left field for the Rockies on Thursday.

Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Belts 19th homer
McMahon went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-4 loss to the Tigers.
The Rockies were in a 6-0 hole after the first inning, but McMahon got them on the board in the top of the second by taking Casey Mize deep. McMahon has emerged from his post-All-Star break malaise, and over his last 16 games he's slashing a respectable .262/.328/.426 with three homers, four runs and six RBI. His next long ball will give the 29-year-old his fourth straight 20-homer campaign.

Rockies' Tanner Gordon: Mauled by Tigers
Gordon (0-6) took the loss Wednesday, surrendering seven runs on 10 hits over 3.1 innings as the Rockies fell 7-4 to the Tigers. He struck out one without walking a batter.
Six of the runs came in the first inning, as Gordon served up a solo shot to Riley Greene and a three-run homer to Trey Sweeney before finally escaping the frame. Gordon hadn't pitched in the majors since Aug. 21, and despite all the injuries in the Colorado rotation, this performance doesn't seem likely to buy the right-hander another start. Through 34.1 big-league innings this season, he carries an 8.65 ERA, 1.72 WHIP and 26:6 K:BB.

Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Retreating to bench Wednesday
Goodman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.
Goodman will hit the bench after he started both of the previous two games at catcher, going 1-for-6 with a solo home run and a walk. Drew Romo will get a turn behind the dish Wednesday, and the Rockies also have a third catcher on the 28-man active roster in Jacob Stallings. With that in mind, the Rockies could treat the catcher spot as a three-man committee rather than relying heavily on Goodman down the stretch.

Rockies' Jordan Beck: Out of Colorado lineup
Beck is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Detroit.
In his first six games this month, Beck has gone just 1-for-17 at the plate with 10 strikeouts. He'll begin Wednesday's contest on the bench while Jake Cave handles right field for the Rockies.

Rockies' Tanner Gordon: Starting Wednesday's game
Gordon will start for the Rockies on Wednesday in Detroit, MLB.com reports.
Gordon will be making a spot start in place of Austin Gomber (personal), who was placed on the paternity list Tuesday. The right-hander holds a 7.55 ERA and 25:6 K:BB over 31 innings covering seven starts with the big club in 2024 but is coming off his best start of the season with Triple-A Albuquerque, having tossed eight shutout frames last Wednesday in Tacoma.

Rockies' Bradley Blalock: Drops third straight
Blalock (1-3) took the loss Tuesday against the Tigers, allowing five runs (four earned) on five hits and five walks over four innings. He struck out four.
Blalock gave up a leadoff homer to Parker Meadows in the first inning before he was tagged for another four runs in the second, with three scoring on a Riley Greene bases-loaded triple. It's the third straight loss for the 23-year-old Blalock -- he's allowed 14 earned runs in just 13 innings in that span and has also issued 11 walks in his last two starts (nine innings). Overall, Blalock sports a 5.87 ERA with a 1.79 WHIP and 20:19 K:BB through his first 29.2 big-league innings. He'll look for a better result in his next outing, currently scheduled for this weekend against the Cubs at home.

Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Another start at catcher
Goodman will start at catcher and bat eighth in Tuesday's game against the Tigers.
It's his second straight start at catcher and his third start at the position over the last five contests. Seemingly, the Rockies want to find out if Goodman -- who has primarily been an outfielder during his time in the majors -- can be a legitimate option at catcher moving forward.

Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Returns to Colorado lineup
Doyle (finger) will start in center field and bat third in Tuesday's game versus the Tigers.
Doyle missed one game with a minor left pinky injury but is ready to roll for Tuesday's series opener. He's off to a slow start this month with just three hits in his first 21 at-bats.
