Freeland (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Saturday, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.
It appears Freeland won't need to embark on a rehab assignment, so Saturday's session could be his last before returning from the 15-day injured list, potentially as soon as the Rockies' upcoming road series against the Reds that commences Tuesday. Prior to landing on the IL due to left shoulder inflammation, Freeland posted a 2.30 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 13:4 K:BB across 15.2 innings.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Placed on 15-day injured list
Rotowire
The Rockies placed Feltner on the 15-day injured list Friday with right ulnar nerve inflammation.
Feltner was removed from his start against the Padres on Thursday due to what was called right triceps tightness at the time, but upon a more thorough exam, it turns out he's got a nerve issue in his pitching elbow. The Rockies have not revealed a timetable for the righty's return, but it's an injury that could result in an extended absence.
Johnston went 3-for-4 with two RBI and a walk Thursday against the Padres.
johnston delivered a pair of RBI singles, which came in the second and seventh innings. He had at least one hit in five of seven games during Colorado's homestand that concluded Thursday, collecting five RBI and scoring twice. Johnston has also started nine straight games, splitting time between right field and first base.

Rockies' Edouard Julien: Extends modest hit streak
Rotowire
Julien went 2-for-5 with a triple, one RBI and two runs scored Thursday against the Padres.

On Thursday, he chipped in an RBI single in the second inning and then led off the fourth frame with a triple before coming around to score.

Rockies' Victor Vodnik: Implodes in second loss
Rotowire
Vodnik (0-2) blew the save and took the loss Thursday against the Padres, allowing five runs on four hits and one walk in two-thirds of an inning. He struck out two.
Summoned to protect an 8-5 lead in the ninth inning, Vodnik put forth his worst effort of the season so far. The right-hander gave up a season-high five runs and four knocks in what was his shortest appearance of 2026. Vodnik has a troublesome 7.59 ERA, 2.16 WHIP and 8:6 K:BB over 10.2 innings as Colorado's closer, so it wouldn't be surprising if the Rockies turned to someone like Jaden Hill or Seth Halvorsen the next time a save chance presents itself.

Rockies' Sammy Peralta: Expected to be called up Friday
Rotowire
Peralta is set to be called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Peralta has made seven appearances out of the bullpen with Albuquerque since the Rockies claimed him off waivers April 4, posting a 3.72 ERA and 1.09 WHIP with seven strikeouts over 9.2 innings. The 26-year-old will give Colorado another left-handed option out of its bullpen ahead of a three-game series against the Mets.
Feltner was removed from his start against the Padres on Thursday due to right triceps tightness, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Feltner was only able to make it through two innings before coming out of Thursday's contest, during which he allowed two earned runs on two hits and a walk while striking out three batters. The severity of the right-hander's injury remains unknown, though the Rockies could send him in for imaging to determine whether he's dealing with a structural issue.

Rockies' Willi Castro: Makes early exit Thursday
Rotowire
Castro was removed from Thursday's game against the Padres with right knee soreness, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
It's unclear how Castro sustained the injury, but his knee was apparently bothering him enough to warrant his removal from Thursday's contest. Tyler Freeman entered as Castro's replacement and would be the favorite to pick up starts at second base if the latter has to miss time.

Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Another day off Thursday
Rotowire
Doyle is absent from the lineup for Thursday's tilt versus the Padres.
It's the second straight day out of the lineup for Doyle, though he did get a plate appearance off the bench Wednesday (and struck out). Doyle has been in the Rockies' lineup for less than 70 percent of his team's games thus far, which is not a rate fantasy managers had in mind when they took the outfielder in drafts this spring. The 27-year-old hasn't exactly made a case to play more, having put together just a .206/.270/.279 batting line and 35.1 percent strikeout rate through 24 contests. Jake McCarthy will make a second consecutive start in center field for the Rockies in Thursday's matinee.

Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Taking seat Thursday
Rotowire
Goodman is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Padres.
Goodman had started each of the previous five tilts, so he's earned some rest for Thursday's matinee. Brett Sullivan will do the catching and bat seventh for the Rockies.

Rockies' Seth Halvorsen: Back in big-league bullpen
Rotowire
The Rockies recalled Halvorsen from Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday.
Halvorsen wasn't able to win a spot on the Opening Day roster but will get a look now after yielded just two runs with a 12:5 K:BB in his first 10 innings at Albuquerque. His stay could be a short one, as Halvorsen is a good bet to be sent back down when Jimmy Herget returns from paternity leave.

Rockies' Jimmy Herget: Goes on paternity list
Rotowire
The Rockies placed Herget on the paternity list Thursday.
Herget will be away from the club for a few days while welcoming a new addition to the family. Seth Halvorsen has taken his spot on the roster and in the bullpen.
Rumfield went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI on Wednesday against the Padres.
Rumfield drove in one run with a single in the fourth inning, and he followed that up with a run-scoring double four frames later. He's struggled mightily since a hot start to the season, collecting only eight hits across his last 51 at-bats with six RBI and one run scored. Positively, Rumfield has only struck out 16.8 percent of the time across 95 plate appearances to begin the season.
