The Rockies optioned Anthony Molina to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday, per team reports.

Fantasy Impact

Molina gave up four runs on six hits and a walk while fanning three over three spring innings—after a 6.75 ERA and 1.58 WHIP across 59.2 big league innings in 2024, he’ll start 2025 in the minors, aiming to earn a bullpen recall. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues can skip him; he needs a turnaround for relevance.

Anthony Molina had a rough performance against the Guardians, allowing three earned runs and two hits over 1.2 innings while walking three and failing to strike out a batter.

Fantasy Impact

This outing only exacerbates the concerns surrounding Molina's effectiveness this season, as his ERA ballooned to 8.35 and his WHIP climbed to 1.91. With a strikingly low K/9 of 4.4 and a high BABIP of .371, his ability to limit damage and miss bats is in serious doubt. Fantasy managers should be wary of relying on Molina in any format, as his current form offers little in terms of reliability or upside.

Anthony Molina will draw the start for the Rockies Monday.

Fantasy Impact

Austin Gomber was the scheduled starter, but has been scratched. Molina has a 7.59 ERA and a 1.80 WHIP in nine appearances this season.
