Antonio Senzatela had a rough outing, allowing six earned runs on six hits and four walks while striking out three over 4 1/3 innings in Saturday's 13-2 loss to the Dodgers.
Fantasy Impact: This performance further inflates his already bloated ERA to 6.57 and WHIP to 1.86 for the season. With a low strikeout rate of 5.1 per nine innings and a high FIP of 7.23, Senzatela's fantasy value remains minimal. His inability to control the strike zone, evidenced by a poor 0.88 strikeout-to-walk ratio, makes him a risky play in all fantasy formats. Owners should consider other options unless he shows significant improvement.

Ezequiel Tovar went 3-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Rockies' 13-2 defeat to the Dodgers.
Fantasy Impact: Despite the team's rough outing, Tovar's performance was a bright spot, showcasing his ability to contribute power and contact. His season totals, including a .270 average and 26 home runs, reflect a solid campaign, particularly for a shortstop. Tovar's consistent hitting and occasional power make him a valuable asset in fantasy lineups, though his high strikeout rate and low walk rate highlight areas for potential improvement. His performance in this game, however, reinforces his status as a reliable option at shortstop in most fantasy formats.

Cal Quantrill had a rough outing, allowing six earned runs on seven hits and two walks over just 3 1/3 innings in Friday's 11-4 loss to the Dodgers.
Fantasy Impact: This performance continues a troubling trend for Quantrill, whose season ERA inflated to 4.98 and WHIP to 1.52. With a strikeout rate of only 6.7 K/9 and a FIP of 5.41, his ability to miss bats and limit damage has been underwhelming. Fantasy managers should be cautious, as his high ERA and WHIP, combined with a low strikeout-to-walk ratio, make him a risky play in all formats. His lack of strikeouts in this game further underscores his limited upside in fantasy leagues.

Nolan Jones went 2-for-4 with two RBI in the Rockies' 11-4 defeat to the Dodgers.
Fantasy Impact: Despite the team's struggles, Jones managed to contribute a pair of singles, driving in two runs. This performance, albeit in a losing effort, could offer a slight positive note for fantasy managers in leagues where RBI and hits are valued. However, his season-long batting average of .221 and high strikeout rate continue to limit his appeal in most fantasy formats. Given these metrics, Jones remains a risky play, primarily useful in deeper leagues or as a situational pick against favorable pitching matchups. His ability to occasionally drive in runs does not offset the overall drag his batting average and strikeouts could have on fantasy rosters.

Charlie Blackmon went 1-for-3 with a home run in the Rockies' 10-8 victory over the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact: He drove in three runs and scored three times, also drawing a walk. This performance, highlighted by his 12th homer of the season, provides a much-needed boost to his .255 batting average and increases his RBI total to 52. Blackmon's ability to contribute significantly in runs scored and occasional power makes him a viable fantasy option, especially in deeper leagues. His consistent playing time and spot in a potent Rockies lineup should keep him relevant, despite a batting average that might not jump off the page.

Seth Halvorsen secured his second save of the season, allowing one hit and striking out one in a scoreless inning as the Rockies edged out the Cardinals 10-8.
Fantasy Impact: This performance underscores his growing reliability in high-pressure situations, despite a season marred by a high FIP which suggests some underlying struggles. With a solid ERA of 1.69 and a WHIP of 0.94, Halvorsen is carving out a niche, though his moderate K/9 rate of 8.4 might limit his upside in strikeout-heavy fantasy formats. Fantasy managers should view him as a situational pick rather than a staple, given the volatility his FIP hints at.

Kyle Freeland struggled through 4.1 innings, allowing four earned runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out four in Thursday's 10-8 victory over the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact: Despite the Rockies pulling off a win, Freeland's outing was less than stellar, continuing a trend reflected in his elevated 5.08 season ERA and 1.39 WHIP. His performance this season, characterized by a modest 6.8 K/9 and a high 4.91 FIP, suggests ongoing challenges in maintaining fantasy relevance. Given these metrics, fantasy managers should view Freeland as a risky play, primarily in favorable matchups or as a streaming option, rather than a staple in their rotation.

Austin Gomber struggled in Wednesday's 5-2 defeat against the Cardinals, allowing four earned runs on seven hits with no walks and three strikeouts over five innings.
Fantasy Impact: This performance adds to a season that has been less than stellar for Gomber, who now sports a 4.75 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP through 31 starts. His inability to suppress runs effectively, coupled with a modest strikeout rate of 6.3 K/9, continues to limit his fantasy appeal. Given these metrics and his trend of high earned runs, Gomber remains a risky play in most fantasy formats, particularly in leagues that heavily penalize for ERA and WHIP.

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.

Brendan Rodgers is not in Wednesday's lineup due to a hamstring injury.
Fantasy Impact: Rodgers had been a late scratch from Tuesday's lineup due to the injury. He could be back in the lineup for the last few games of the season.

Jordan Beck is out of the starting lineup for the Rockies Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact: Beck will head to the bench with a right-hander on the mound for the Cardinals. Nolan Jones will cover left field and bat eighth.

Fantasy Impact: Cave will sit out the series opener with the Cardinals. Jordan Beck will start in right field and bat ninth against the Cardinals.
Ryan McMahon went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Rockies' 6-3 victory over the Dodgers.
Fantasy Impact: His solo shot contributed significantly to the team's win, marking his 20th homer of the season. Despite a modest .244 batting average over 146 games, McMahon's power numbers remain a bright spot. His consistent ability to drive in runs (63 RBI) and score (65 runs) keeps him relevant in fantasy formats, particularly those that value extra-base hits and home runs. However, his high strikeout rate continues to be a concern, potentially limiting his batting average upside. Fantasy managers should continue to value McMahon for his power, but temper expectations for batting average improvements.

Sam Hilliard went 1-for-3 with a home run and an RBI in the Rockies' 6-4 loss to the Dodgers.
Fantasy Impact: His performance included a walk and a strikeout. Hilliard's home run adds a bit of shine to his season, where he's now boasting a .261 average with nine homers and 26 RBI through 51 games. While his power is evident, his high strikeout rate continues to be a concern for fantasy managers. However, his wOBA of .360 suggests he's been quite effective when he does make contact. Hilliard remains a viable fantasy option in deeper leagues, particularly for those in need of power numbers, though his strikeout propensity could dampen his batting average.

Michael Toglia went 2-for-4 in the Rockies' 6-4 loss to the Dodgers, delivering a home run, a double, and driving in one run.
Fantasy Impact: This performance, while solid, underscores the inconsistency that has plagued Toglia this season, marked by a modest .219 batting average and a high strikeout rate. Despite the power surge with 25 homers, his on-base skills remain a concern with a low walk rate. Fantasy managers should view Toglia as a risky play, offering home run potential but potentially hurting in batting average and on-base percentage.
