Martini is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.
Martini started the first two games of the series and went 2-for-3 with a double in Saturday's contest, but he'll head to the bench for the finale. Hunter Goodman will rest his legs as the designated hitter while Jacob Stallings receives a start behind the plate.

Rockies' Adael Amador: Heading to bench Sunday
Rotowire
Amador is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.
Amador had started at second base in four of the previous five games but will give way to Kyle Farmer in the series finale. Despite receiving fairly steady playing time since his April 13 promotion, Amador has been unable to get much going at the dish. Through his first 20 games, the 22-year-old rookie is slashing just .173/.246/.308 with one home run and one stolen base across 58 plate appearances.

Rockies' Bradley Blalock: Demoted after brutal start
Rotowire
The Rockies optioned Blalock to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
Unsurprisingly, Blalock received a demotion after he was lit up for 12 earned runs on 13 hits and two walks over just 3.2 innings during Saturday's 21-0 loss to the Padres. The Rockies still have an opening in the rotation with Ryan Feltner (back) not ready to return from the injured list, and Triple-A righty Tanner Gordon could be the next man up as the fifth starter.

Rockies' Juan Mejia: Bumped down to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Rockies optioned Mejia to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
Mejia was unlikely to be available for the next couple of days after he gave up seven runs (four earned) in 1.1 innings and tossed 44 pitches in Saturday's 21-0 loss to the Padres, so the Rockies opted to replace him on the 26-man roster. Colorado called up lefty Ryan Rolison to take Mejia's spot in the bullpen.

Rockies' Ryan Rolison: Receives call-up
Rotowire
The Rockies selected Rolison's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
Rolison will be making his MLB debut when he gets into a game. He was previously a member of the Rockies' 40-man roster during the 2022 and 2023 seasons, but his standing in the organization fell after he struggled to bounce back from June 2022 shoulder surgery. Though initially developed him as a starter, Rolison made the full-time transition to relief in 2024 and has found some success. Over 12 appearances in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League this season, Rolison has delivered a 3.72 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 23:7 K:BB over 19.1 innings.

Rockies' Anthony Molina: Receives call-up
Rotowire
The Rockies recalled Molina from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
Molina made 35 appearances (one start) with the Rockies as a Rule 5 selection in 2024, but he's made the move to the rotation at Albuquerque this season. Over his seven starts, Molina has produced a 9.20 ERA, 2.39 WHIP and 23:18 K:BB in 30.1 innings. The Rockies have an opening in the rotation after optioning Bradley Blalock to Albuquerque in a corresponding move, but Molina is expected to serve as a long man out of the Colorado bullpen.

Rockies' Kris Bryant: Shifts to 60-day IL
Rotowire
The Rockies transferred Bryant (back) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.
The move comes just a few days after the Rockies announced that Bryant underwent a successful ablation procedure to address his chronically bothersome back. There's no timeline for the 33-year-old to resume baseball activities, but given the nature of his surgery as well as his placement on the 60-day IL, he'll most likely remain sidelined at least through the end of June. Since signing a seven-year, $182 million contract with the Rockies in March 2022, Bryant has had nine separate stints on the IL and has slashed just .244/.324/.370 over 712 total plate appearances.
Blalock (0-2) took the loss against San Diego on Saturday, allowing 12 runs on 13 hits and two walks while striking out one batter over 3.2 innings.
Blalock fell behind quickly, giving up five runs in the first frame. Things didn't get much better for him the rest of the way, as the Padres added a run in each of the second and third innings before tacking on eight more -- five of which were charged to Blalock -- in the fourth. The right-hander was clobbered for five extra-base hits (three homers and two doubles) and saw his ERA rise from an already-awful 8.03 to a hideous 12.94. He was promoted back up to the majors to join Colorado's rotation when Ryan Feltner (back) landed on the injured list May 2, but Blalock may not be long for the big-league squad given his results so far.
Beck went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Friday against the Padres.
Beck made a splash with five home runs across a three-game stretch in late April. However, he hadn't gone yard again until Friday night -- a 12-game stretch. Beck was still productive in some ways in that span by hitting .255 with seven runs scored.

Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Stays hot
Rotowire
McMahon went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and three runs scored Friday against the Padres.
McMahon still has an abysmal overall line for the season, but he has improved across his last eight games. He's gone 11-for-27 with three homers, six RBI and eight runs scored in that span, while striking out only 18.8 percent of the time.

Rockies' Michael Toglia: Power coming around
Rotowire
Toglia went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks Friday against the Padres.
Toglia has struggled to get going at the plate this season, though there have been some positive aspects to his performance across the last two weeks. Four of his five home runs have come in his last 13 games, and he's also delivered seven RBI and four runs scored. Despite that short-term success, he has just a .208 average with a 35.2 percent strikeout rate across 145 plate appearances on the campaign.

Rockies' Antonio Senzatela: Continues to get knocked around
Rotowire
Senzatela (1-6) took the loss Friday against the Padres after allowing eight runs (four earned) on nine hits and two walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out two.
Although Kyle Farmer's third-inning fielding error prevented any of San Diego's four runs in the frame from being earned on Senzatela's ledger, Friday still marked the fifth time in eight starts that latter gave up at least four earned runs. The veteran right-hander has yielded at least six hits in each of his outings this season, failing to fan more than four in any of them. Senzatela now owns a miserable 5.77 ERA, 1.92 WHIP and 19:9 K:BB across 39 innings in 2025. He's averaged just 2.1 walks per nine innings this year, which figures to work to his advantage in his next scheduled outing against a Rangers team that has the second-fewest walks (93) in the majors through 38 games, but regardless Senzatela will not be a recommended streaming option.

Rockies' Hunter Goodman: First three-hit attack in loss
Rotowire
Goodman went 3-for-5 with two doubles, one RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 13-9 loss to the Padres.
It was the third time this season that Goodman ripped multiple extra-base hits, and Friday marked his first three-hit attack of the year. The 25-year-old catcher has now hit safely in 10 of his last 11 outings, batting .318 (14-for-44) with eight RBI and four runs scored in that span. Between catcher and designated hitter, Goodman has been playing nearly every day to begin 2025. His .277 batting average on the season ranks third among qualifying catchers in the major leagues.
Rockies' Kris Bryant: Undergoes successful surgery
Rotowire
Bryant successfully underwent ablation surgery on his back Thursday, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.
Bryant will rest for the next 72 hours, and he's expected to return to Denver next weekend to start building strength in his back. He'll likely need several weeks to recover from the procedure and is without a timeline for a return. Bryant played just 11 games before landing on the injured list in mid-April, going 6-for-39 with one RBI and a 31.7 percent strikeout rate.
