Carson Palmquist - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Optioned to Triple-A The Rockies optioned Palmquist (shin) to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

Impact The 25-year-old was a bit behind schedule early in camp due to a shin injury, but he returned to make a couple Cactus League appearances. Palmquist struggled to an 8.91 ERA and 27:25 K:BB over nine appearances in his first taste of the majors last year.

Delayed by shin soreness Palmquist is a bit behind schedule after being hit on the shin by a line drive, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Palmquist is expected to be fine, but the issue has slightly delayed his ramp-up. The left-hander tossed a scoreless inning in his Cactus League debut last week. He is in the mix for a spot in the Rockies' rotation, but Palmquist's best shot to make the team might be as a long reliever.

Optioned to Triple-A The Rockies optioned Palmquist to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

Impact Palmquist really struggled in two relief appearances during his most recent stint in the majors, allowing eight runs on 10 hits and seven walks over 3.2 innings. He'll likely go back into the rotation at Albuquerque.

Rejoins big club The Rockies recalled Palmquist from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

Impact With Colorado trading Jake Bird and Tyler Kinley prior to Thursday's deadline, Palmquist will come back up to reinforce the pitching staff. The left-handed Palmquist has worked exclusively as a starter at the big-league level so far in his career, but he has struggled to a 7.63 ERA and 1.73 WHIP, and it's possible he works as more of a swingman this time around.

Sent to Triple-A The Rockies optioned Palmquist to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

Impact Palmquist has made seven starts across his two stints in the majors this season, and he'll head back to Triple-A with a 7.63 ERA and 22:18 K:BB across 30.2 innings. Kyle Freeland (back) is expected to return from the injured list this week to fill Palmquist's spot in the rotation.

Lasts four innings against Arizona Palmquist allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four over four innings in a no-decision Saturday versus the Diamondbacks.

Impact Palmquist gave up a run in each of the first three innings, including a solo home run to Eugenio Suarez in the third. Palmquist has completed five innings just once in seven outings, and he was pulled at 62 pitches (39 strikes) in this start. Overall, he has a poor 7.63 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 22:18 K:BB over 30.2 innings. He's still in search of his first major-league win, and he'll need to be more efficient, especially in cutting back the free passes, to get a realistic shot at a victory. Palmquist is not guaranteed another turn through the rotation if Kyle Freeland (back) is ready to return from the injured list when first eligible Friday.

Receiving another start Palmquist is slated to start Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks at Coors Field.

Impact The rookie will pick up a second turn through the rotation after being called up from Triple-A Albuquerque to serve as a replacement for lefty Kyle Freeland (back), who was placed on the injured list weekend. While stepping in for Freeland in Monday's 6-4 win over the Nationals, Palmquist took a no-decision and gave up four earned runs on four hits and three walks over 4.2 innings. Over his six starts this season with the Rockies, Palmquist owns a 7.76 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 18:16 K:BB in 26.2 innings.

Diamondbacks take on the Rockies after Suarez's 4-hit game

JUNE 21, 2025 • Associated Press

Struggles despite victory Palmquist took the no-decision, allowing four runs on four hits and three walks while striking out two during Monday's 6-4 win over the Nationals.

Impact After a short trip to the minors, Palmquist came back and worked through 4.2 innings, departing in a one-run game. The 24-year-old has only made it through five innings once this season and has struggled when called upon, pitching to a 7.76 ERA in 26.2 innings over six appearances.

Replacing hurt Freeland in rotation The Rockies recalled Palmquist from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

Impact After he was optioned to Triple-A on Thursday in advance of southpaw Austin Gomber's (shoulder) return from the 60-day injured list in Sunday's series finale in Atlanta, Palmquist will rejoin the Rockies in short order and reclaim a spot in the rotation after Colorado placed lefty Kyle Freeland (back) on the 15-day IL in a corresponding move. Palmquist will start Monday's series opener in Washington, and he'll tentatively line up for a second start later in the week versus the Diamondbacks at Coors Field. Though Palmquist is regarded as one of the Rockies' better pitching prospects, he went 0-4 with a 7.77 ERA and 1.82 WHIP over his first five starts with Colorado and won't make for an appealing lineup option in most fantasy leagues, despite being on track for a two-start week.

Sent back to minors The Rockies optioned Palmquist to Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday.

Impact Palmquist struggled in his first five starts at the major-league level, collecting a 7.77 ERA and 16:13 K:BB across 22 innings of work. The left-hander being sent back to Albuquerque suggests that Austin Gomber (shoulder) should be ready to rejoin the Rockies' rotation for his next turn.

Logs four innings Palmquist did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks over four innings against the Giants. He struck out two.

Impact The left-hander was removed in the fifth inning after surrendering a home run to Willy Adames and issuing a walk to Heliot Ramos. Despite completing just four innings, allowing only two runs made this one of Palmquist's better outings of the season. Through five starts, the 24-year-old owns a 7.77 ERA and 1.82 WHIP over 22 innings.

Not starting Saturday The Rockies have named German Marquez as Saturday's starting pitcher versus the Mets.

Impact Palmquist had originally been deemed Saturday's starter, but Marquez will get the nod instead. Per Christian Saez of TheDNVR.com, Palmquist isn't dealing with an injury -- instead, there was simply a miscommunication in lining up the rotation. Chase Dollander is now slated to start Sunday, so it's unclear when Palmquist will take his next turn as a starter.

Unravels late in loss Palmquist (0-4) took the loss against the Mets on Sunday, allowing four runs on four hits and two walks with eight strikeouts over 4.2 innings.

Impact Palmquist opened with three scoreless frames before serving up a pair of home runs across the fourth and fifth innings. The rookie notched a career-high eight strikeouts but has now yielded at least four earned runs in three of his four major-league starts. He'll carry a bloated 8.50 ERA, 1.83 WHIP and 14:10 K:BB across 18 innings into a home rematch with the Mets next weekend.
