Colorado was assertive with its at-bats, landing 11 hits after 42 attempts. On the other hand, Milwaukee only had six hits after 39 at-bats.</p><p>The Rockies’ bullpen was solid as they came through in the final innings. Starting pitcher German Marquez had a solid night on the mound after 5.2 innings, striking out five batters while allowing three hits and two runs. The player who got the win was Victor Vodnik, improving his record to 3-2. Tyler Kinley also earned a save, his third of the season.</p><p>Colorado improved to a 19-65 record but remain at the bottom of the NL West Division standings. They are 22.5 games behind the Arizona Diamondbacks and 26 games behind the San Francisco Giants.</p><p>The Rockies will look forward to their next series, being at home.

Even with a sweep of the Washington Nationals in June, they are on pace for just 35 wins. The Rockies have to be active at the MLB trade deadline, and that could include dealing pitcher German Marquez. MLB Network’s Jon Morosi reported Sunday that Marquez is a <a href="https://x.com/jonmorosi/status/1939408421515575312" rel="noopener">name to watch in the next month</a>.</p><p>“Germán Márquez, pitching well in Milwaukee today, is a name to watch at the MLB Trade Deadline. Márquez, a former All-Star, has an expiring contract and ERA well below 3.00 since the start of June,” Morosi posted on social media on Sunday.</p><p>Marquez did have five shutout innings before allowing solo shots to Sal Frelick and Christian Yelich in the sixth. The Rockies’ offense gave him no run support, so they were down 2-0 after those homers. But a team that does score and could use some pitching should look at Marquez.</p><p>Marquez has been with the Rockies since 2016, with a career ERA of 4.52. But pitching in Colorado is difficult, and Marquez’s numbers support that. He has a 5.02 ERA in 92 appearances at Coors Field and a 4.06 ERA in 101 appearances elsewhere. That was before his 5.2 innings of two-run ball on Sunday.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/colorado-rockies/rockies-must-be-on-trade-block-mlb-deadline">Rockies should be trying to get as many prospects as possible at this year’s MLB trade deadline</a>. Their current core is not working at all, and they should be looking to start over. That could include pitcher Kyle Freeland, infielder Ryan McMahon, and a few others. But Marquez could garner a lot of interest at the deadline.</p><p>The Rockies finish their series with the Brewers on Sunday, looking to break a five-game losing streak. After that, they host the Astros and the White Sox for three games each.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

From the sounds of it, Freeland is preparing for a return to the mound soon.</p><p>Reports indicate that Freeland, who is 32 years old, is <a href="https://www.mlb.com/news/kyle-freeland-targets-return-to-rockies-rotation" rel="noopener">aiming to return on Friday</a> and start for the Rockies against the Milwaukee Brewers, according to Thomas Harding of MLB.com. After was is being called an aggressive bullpen session, Colorado is ready to bring Freeland back to the rotation.</p><p>“After throwing a 50-pitch bullpen session on Sunday morning, Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland said he’s targeting Friday in Milwaukee for his return from back stiffness. Friday would be the first date he is eligible to return from the 15-day injured list. After Sunday’s aggressive session, Freeland will throw a traditional shorter bullpen on Tuesday.”</p><p>Kyle Freeland shared an injury update himself, claiming he feels “great” ahead of his return. The Rockies’ pitcher claims that throwing 50 pitches in his bullpen session on Sunday was to avoid a live batting practice or rehab assignment and get back in the starting rotation sooner.</p><p>“The reason was to help me be able to respond quickly, so we can avoid a live batting practice or a rehab assignment,” Freeland said. “We can load a heavy bullpen like today, do an up-down, simulate a couple of innings as best we can. Everything felt great.”</p><p>Before suffering the injury, Freeland was having a roller coaster of a season. With the Rockies playing so poorly as a whole, he was showing glimpses of solid production mixed with bad performances. Through 73.2 innings pitched so far this season, he owns a 5.13 ERA and 1.534 WHIP while recording 57 strikeouts.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/colorado-rockies/rockies-must-be-on-trade-block-mlb-deadline">Rockies will play</a> three games before re-instating Kyle Freeland back into the rotation. Colorado is set to take on the Los Angeles Dodgers in the first contest of a three-game series on Tuesday night.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Thus, it is another season down the drain, and it feels like a hopeless cause. But there is still something they can salvage out of this season. The Rockies must <a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects/farm-system-rankings" rel="noopener">rebuild their farm system</a>, which is among the worst in baseball. Ryan McMahon, German Marquez, and Austin Gomber must be on the trade block for the Rockies to have a chance to build a prosperous future.</p><p>Being in a loaded division like the National League West is not easy. Therefore, the Rockies have to take the long road back and rebuild. If they ever want to compete with the Los Angeles Dodgers over the long haul, then they need to build back better. It will be painful, but it’s something Colorado must do.</p><p>McMahon, Marquez, and Gomber offer valuable trade pieces that the Rockies can ship out. If they can find trade partners, then they might be able to rise up in the farm system rankings.</p><h2><b>Ryan McMahon provides the best trade value for Rockies</b></h2><p>McMahon should be the first player on the trade block. Yes, he has been one of the most recognizable players on the Rockies over the years, as he has been with the team since they drafted him in 2013. McMahon is a fan favorite and has been a very productive hitter for Colorado since he made his debut in 2017. Yet, even he might be gone soon.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-yankees/mlb-rumors-yankees-trade-ryan-mcmahon-freddy-peralta">New York Yankees have reportedly expressed interest</a> in McMahon. Significantly, a trade to the Yanks makes sense, especially considering DJ LeMahieu’s struggles. It would also give New York a reliable left-handed bat in a ballpark that fits lefties well. Currently, McMahon’s value ranges from mid to high, depending on the trade partner. Ideally, the Rockies would love a team to take on his remaining salary, which extends into next season, and give them some good prospects.</p><p>A good trade for McMahon to the Yankees would involve New York sending Clayton Beeter, an MLB-ready starter, Jorbit Vivas, a utility player who can play second or third base, and Jackson Fristoe, a high-A level starter who could contribute within 1-2 years. This deal would benefit both teams, as the Yankees would acquire their hitter, and the Rockies would gain a younger team and some new pitching.</p><h2><b>German Marquez still has upside</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Gerrman-Marquez-throws-to-the-Nationals.jpg"><figcaption>© Brad Mills-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>German Marquez also needs to be on the trade block. No, he is not performing to the level that makes him an elite commodity. But there is always a team that might need a middle-of-the-rotation pitcher, and pitching away from Coors Field could help.</p><p>Marquez has not been the best pitcher, but <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/colorado-rockies/rockies-news-german-marquez-feat-never-seen-before-colorado-history">he still accomplished a franchise record</a> earlier this season. Ultimately, there will be a market for him. His value is not nearly as high as McMahon’s, but a team will take a flyer on him. Only the return value will not be the best. For the Rockies, all that matters is shedding contracts and getting some kind of return that helps them in the future. Marquez, like McMahon, has been a lifelong Rockies player. Despite being signed internationally by the Tampa Bay Rays, he has spent his entire Major League career with Colorado. His contract is up after this season.</p><p>The Rockies could expect to get a B-Level prospect or a future third or fifth-round pick. Also, a mid-tier prospect is a possibility. Teams like the Milwaukee Brewers might be willing to negotiate.</p><h2><b>Austin Gomber could be on the trade block</b></h2><p>Despite just <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/colorado-rockies/rockies-news-colorado-activates-austin-gomber-nolan-arenado-trade">making his season debut</a> for the Rockies, Gomber should also be on the trade block. For reference, he is signed until the end of the season, making him an unrestricted free agent. Let’s look at the numbers.</p><p>Gomber has not performed particularly well since coming over in the trade for Nolan Arenado. Alarmingly, his ERA has fluctuated between 4.50 and 5.50. But because he is a pending free agent, the Rockies could try to deal him to get something of value back. The good news is that Gomber had a stout outing in his season debut, tossing five shutout innings while striking out four. If he can keep the pace, the Rockies can turn that into a goldmine.</p><p>For now, a realistic trade scenario could see the Rockies shipping Gomber off for a C-level return. That would usually constitute a middle-round pick and an extra reliever. While it’s unlikely, sending Gomber to a team that needs extra pitching could help them secure an extra pick, which would further their rebuild.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, Hunter Goodman is in the middle of a hot stretch at the plate, helping the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/colorado-rockies/rockies-news-keep-streak-alive-big-win-nationals">Rockies win four straight on the road</a>. Unfortunately, a walk-off home run from James Wood ended their streak, but infielder Ryan McMahon and Co. might have figured something out.</p><p>Interim manager Warren Schaeffer and hitting coach Jordan Pacheco are two of the new voices in the Colorado dugout. They implemented a change in <a href="https://www.mlb.com/news/rockies-changing-batting-practice-to-improve-on-road" rel="noopener">how the team runs batting practice</a>, according to MLB.com’s Thomas Harding.</p><p>Instead of facing regular pitching, the Rockies use a pitching machine and heavier balls to mimic the opposing pitchers’ arsenal.</p><p>Goodman is optimistic about the change that has helped him find life at the plate on the road.</p><p>We’ve been doing a good job trying to find ways to handle Coors hitting at elevation versus when we go on the road, and we’re on our way to figuring some stuff out,” Goodman said.</p><p>Pacheco offered his thoughts on the change as well. According to him, he and Scaeffer’s goal is to show their batters what they could see during the game.</p><p>“These are the best hitters in the world. If you give them a chance to see something a couple of times before they actually perform, hopefully in their mind it makes it a little bit easier,” Pacheco said.</p><p>Goodman and McMahon are the biggest benefactors of the change. Both players swatted home runs during a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/colorado-rockies/rockies-news-colorado-ties-record-hr-nationals">Rockies win over the Nationals that saw the team tie a franchise record</a>. The veteran third baseman homered and hit a double during the game. Both pitches he hit were ones his coaches exposed him to earlier that day.</p><p>“If we’re going to see a guy who uses his curveball a lot, it’s a good one. And we’re getting used to sea level, [so] they’ll put an even nastier one in the cage so you feel overwhelmed in there,” McMahon said. “In the game it feels a little more underwhelming. They’ll have every pitch shape and make sure you’re ready to go.”</p><p>The Rockies have a long way to go if they want to get back into contention. Unfortunately, it might not happen this year. However, coaching staff has found something that works and could build on it moving forward.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Nats cut their deficit down in half with a run by CJ Abrams off a James Wood RBI double in the bottom of the seventh frame before Jordan Beck ripped a solo blast in the top of the eighth inning that turned out to be the final run of the contest.</p><p>Germán Márquez pocketed his third pitching win of the season by tossing 5 2/3 innings of zero-run ball, with just six hits allowed and two walks issued along with two strikeouts through 92 pitches.

Toglia was a standout performer, smashing two homers himself and helping the Rockies tie their single-game home run record for the third time in the team’s history.</p><p>The Rockies kicked off their power display early, but it <a href="https://x.com/SlangsOnSports/status/1935151024525685228" rel="noopener">exploded in a six-run</a> seventh inning, highlighted by Hunter Goodman’s three-run homer and Ryan McMahon’s solo shot. This marked the third time Colorado has hit <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/rockies-rumors-colorados-trade-stance-on-star">four homers in a single</a> inning, and the first time they’ve done it on the road. By the end of the night, <a href="https://www.mlb.com/news/rockies-hit-7-homers-in-win-against-nationals" rel="noopener">seven players had gone deep,</a> including Thairo Estrada, Sam Hilliard, and Mickey Moniak.</p><p>Toglia’s performance was particularly noteworthy given his shaky start to the season. After leading the league in strikeouts, he was sent down to Triple-A Albuquerque, where some key adjustments helped him find his groove again. Since his return, Toglia has looked like a completely different player. His two home runs on Tuesday marked the second multi-homer game of his career, making a strong statement after coming back to the majors.</p><p>Starter Antonio Senzatela earned his second win of the year, pitching five innings and allowing just one unearned run. Although he faced<a href="https://denversports.com/mlb/colorado-rockies/rockies-game-73/2122291" rel="noopener"> some challenges with runners</a> on base, Senzatela managed to limit the damage, aided by a solid defense. The bullpen mostly held strong, with Jake Bird and Tyler Kinley keeping things in check. Anthony Molina did give up five runs late, allowing the Nationals to narrow the gap, but they never quite caught up.</p><p>With this win, the Rockies improved to 16-57, a small but significant step forward in a season that has often been tough. This victory also marked Washington’s 10th consecutive loss. Colorado has now notched seven wins in June, just one shy of matching their total from April and May combined.</p><p>The Rockies hit an impressive 10 home runs in their last two games, setting a new franchise record for a two-game stretch and finally showing that long-awaited offensive spark. For Toglia, who has faced quite a challenging road back to form, it was truly a night to remember.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With first place in the NL West standings within reach, the Giants watched their seven-game winning streak vanish in stunning fashion after a crushing walk-off loss to the historically bad Colorado Rockies.</p><p>What should have been a statement road victory turned into a collapse. Leading 7-5 in the ninth, the Giants unraveled after reliever Randy Rodriguez allowed three runs, aided by a costly error from third baseman Casey Schmitt. With two outs, Colorado’s Orlando Arcia singled to left, scoring the winning runs and handing San Francisco an 8-7 loss in the Mile High City.</p><p>FOX Sports’ Ben Verlander <a href="https://x.com/BenVerlander/status/1933286621119721485" rel="noopener">emphasized the magnitude</a> of the loss on X, formerly Twitter, pointing out that the Giants squandered a prime chance to enter Friday’s opener against the rival Los Angeles Dodgers tied for first place in the NL West.</p><p>“The Colorado Rockies walk-off the San Francisco Giants after entering the 9th inning down 2 runs.</p><p>“The Giants could’ve tied the Dodgers atop the NL West with a win ahead of their 3 game series starting tomorrow night.”</p><p>Had San Francisco held on, they would have traveled to Dodger Stadium tied atop the NL West. Instead, the Giants head into their biggest Dodgers series of the year one game back of Los Angeles—with the momentum now reset.</p><p>It was a tough pill to swallow for a team that had just rattled off seven straight wins and leads MLB in comeback victories. Dominic Smith gave the Giants a spark with his first home run in a San Francisco uniform, a towering three-run blast in the top of the fifth inning that extended their lead to five.</p><p>But the bullpen couldn’t close. The Giants vs. Rockies matchup flipped in the ninth as Colorado clawed back, recording just their 13th win of the season and avoiding a sweep. For a team that had gone 21-6 against sub-.500 opponents, the timing couldn’t have been worse.</p><p>The upcoming showdown with the Dodgers now carries even more weight. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/san-francisco-giants/giants-news-logan-webb-verge-record-held-madison-bumgarner-2-others">San Francisco will send Logan Webb</a>, Landen Roupp, and Kyle Harrison to the mound in a pivotal three-game set. To reclaim ground in the division, they’ll need more late-inning composure and fewer defensive miscues.</p><p>Despite Thursday’s setback, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/san-francisco-giants/giants-news-san-francisco-comeback-puts-rare-air-only-seen-twice">the Giants remain firmly in the NL West race</a>. But if they hope to surpass the defending World Series champion Dodgers, they’ll need to capitalize on every opportunity from here on out.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

There’s no doubt that there have been <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/colorado-rockies/rockies-kris-bryant-makes-honest-crying-admission-amid-injury-frustrations">injury frustrations for the Rockies’ third baseman</a>, as Bryant speaks about his recovery process.</p><p>Providing more insight into what he’s going through, Bryant would not hold back and say, via Thomas Harding of MLB.com, that when he runs, he’s <a href="https://www.mlb.com/news/kris-bryant-experiencing-pain-while-running-in-rehab" rel="noopener">“hurting.”</a> Still, the activity has been ramped up as Bryant wants to make a return to the field, but there’s no denying it will take time.</p><p>“I’m just being completely honest,” Bryant said. “When I do run, I am sore — not just sore, but hurting. We’ve determined to keep trying and see if it continues, if it improves. That’s where I’m at. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t thinking that some days I see light at the end of the tunnel, some days I don’t.”</p><p>“I want to do everything I can,” Bryant continued. “I want to play baseball. It’s fun when you’re on the field. And the last couple years are really the first time in my whole life of playing baseball where I’ve had to deal with things like this, and it’s been just extremely frustrating for me, waking up and being in pain each day. That’s just really frustrating. But I’m doing my best to have a good attitude and stay with this rehab plan.”</p><h2><b>Kris Bryant has witnessed major changes with the Rockies </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Kris-Bryant-with-Colorado-Rockies-i.jpg"><figcaption>Isaiah J. Downing-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>While the injury to Bryant makes fans realize the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/colorado-rockies/rockies-news-kris-bryant-fires-back-at-critics-who-questioned-182-million-decision-to-sign-with-colorado">contract of $182 million that the Rockies gave to him</a>, and if it was truly worth it or not, it’s hard to see that one could’ve envisioned such a rare injury. However, Bryant has the mindset of just going with the flow and following the path that he’s instructed to take.</p><p>“I’m not an expert in any of this,” Bryant said. “I’m trying to take the advice of the PT and training staff, what they think is best, and I’ll just keep going with it.”</p><p>The team has made changes since the stint with the injury, as Bud Black was fired and Warren Schaeffer was made the manager, but Bryant says he brings a “really good vibe.”</p><p>“It’s a really good vibe that Schaeff is bringing in here, and it’s been fun to see him as a big league manager,” Bryant said. “I’ve really loved watching Tyler Freeman and his at-bats. It’s amazing to see Jordan Beck coming into his own, getting a lot of opportunities. Ryan Ritter looks like a ballplayer. I love watching him, with all the emotion of his first hit. There are always positives to be taken from this year.”</p><p>At any rate, Colorado is 12-55 before Thursday’s game against the San Francisco Giants, which concludes the series.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
