Brenton Doyle powered the Rockies past the Diamondbacks on Friday, going 1-for-3 with a massive grand slam in a 12-8 victory.

Fantasy Impact

Doyle struck out against Corbin Burnes in his first at-bat but redeemed himself with a 443-foot (109.4 mph EV) grand slam off Gerardo Gutierrez in the fourth inning. The 26-year-old emerged as a breakout fantasy star in 2024, and his stock continues to rise heading into 2025 drafts. Already carrying a top-75 ADP, Doyle’s power-speed combo makes him an intriguing early-round target in all formats.

Rockies manager Bud Black said that he plans to have Brenton Doyle bat leadoff next season.

Fantasy Impact

Doyle will take over the leadoff spot for Colorado from Charlie Blackmon who announced his retirement. Doyle doesn't profile to be as much of a contact hitter, but he did hit 23 home runs and steal 30 bases last season.

Brenton Doyle went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Rockies' 5-2 loss to the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the Rockies' defeat, Doyle managed to add to his home run tally, bringing his season total to 23. His consistent power-hitting has been a bright spot in an otherwise average season, marked by a .262 batting average and a high strikeout rate of 0.254. Fantasy managers should appreciate Doyle's mix of power and speed, evidenced by his 29 stolen bases, but his tendency to strike out may continue to dampen his batting average. Moving forward, Doyle remains a valuable asset in fantasy leagues, particularly for those in need of home runs and stolen bases, though his strikeout rate could be a concern for batting average-focused formats.

Brenton Doyle is in the starting lineup for the Rockies Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Doyle will patrol center field and bat third against the Cardinals. He is hitting .264, with 22 home runs, 71 RBI, and 29 stolen bases this season.

Brenton Doyle was scratched from Friday's lineup with left knee soreness.
