Jeff Criswell - Headed for Tommy John surgery The Rockies announced Sunday that Criswell is scheduled to undergo Tommy John surgery and will miss the entire 2025 season, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Impact Criswell wasn't known to be contending with a right elbow or forearm injury in spring training, though it likely explains why he had yet to make his Cactus League debut. The 25-year-old right-hander reached the big leagues for the first time in 2024, appearing in 13 games while logging a 2.75 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 27:9 K:BB in 19.2 innings. Criswell had been expected to compete for a spot in the Rockies' Opening Day bullpen this spring before going down with the season-ending injury.

Austin Gomber - Bouncing back from sore shoulder Gomber was scratched from his scheduled Cactus League start Sunday against the Mariners due to left shoulder soreness, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Impact The southpaw said that his arm speed isn't at the level he wants it to be at this time of the spring, but he didn't express any major concern about the shoulder issue preventing him from being ready for Opening Day. Assuming he misses just one turn through the spring rotation, Gomber should have plenty of time to ramp up and complete his throwing progression before the March 28 season opener versus the Rays.

Tommy Doyle - Cut from camp The Rockies reassigned Doyle to minor-league camp Sunday.
Impact Doyle previously made 18 appearances at the big-league level for the Rockies between the 2020 and 2023 seasons, but he spent the entire 2024 season at the Triple-A level in the Atlanta organization and wasn't a serious threat to crack the Colorado's Opening Day roster. The 28-year-old righty reliever is likely to begin the 2025 season at Triple-A Albuquerque.

Benny Montgomery - Back in action after shoulder surgery Montgomery (shoulder) has appeared in three Cactus League games for the Rockies this spring, going 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, three RBI and a run while playing four innings in...
Impact The 22-year-old isn't a serious threat to make the Rockies' Opening Day roster, but his involvement in big-league camp this spring suggests he's made a full recovery from the left shoulder surgery he underwent in May. Montgomery was off to a strong start at Double-A Hartford last season before being shut down due to the injury, slashing .283/.313/.500 with two home runs and three stolen bases in 11 games.

Justin Lawrence - Placed on waivers The Rockies placed Lawrence on waivers Saturday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Impact Lawrence regressed notably last season, finishing the year with a 6.49 ERA and 1.78 WHIP over 59.2 innings. He is now available to be picked up by any team willing to bring him in as additional bullpen depth, though he's still eligible to pitch for Colorado while on waivers.

Thairo Estrada - Good start with new club Estrada has gone 7-for-12 with a stolen base and five RBI across four Cactus League games.
Impact Estrada had a disappointing 2024 season with the Giants, during which he maintained just a .590 OPS across 381 plate appearances. He was waived in late August but found a new home with Colorado this offseason and is expected to serve as the team's primary second baseman. Estrada has hit well to begin spring training, though it is worth noting that none of his seven knocks have gone for extra bases.

Kris Bryant - Shows pop early in spring Bryant hit a 462-foot home run that had an 111.8 mph exit velocity during Tuesday's Cactus League game, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.
Impact Bryant has struggled to stay on the field since joining the Rockies in 2022, though he worked on his core strength and flexibility this offseason and enters the season with renewed hope. While there should be caution in interpreting spring training results, Bryant's shot Tuesday was an impressive start to the campaign. He's also started both of his games at DH, another factor that could help him stay healthy during the regular season.

Germán Márquez - First start of spring Marquez threw two scoreless innings in his Cactus League debut Tuesday, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.
Impact Marquez also struck out two and walked two. Most importantly, he threw 32 pitches and came away with no injury concerns, a significant development after he was limited to only one start in 2024 while recovering from an elbow injury. Marquez figures to lead the Rockies' rotation in 2025.

Chase Dollander - Strong chance of roster spot Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post expects Dollander to be in the Rockies' rotation to begin the regular season.
Impact There were rumblings prior to spring training about the possibility of Dollander skipping Triple-A and jumping straight to the majors to begin the 2025 season. He helped his case with a solid spring debut Monday, when he struck out three across two innings with his only run allowed coming on a solo home run. Dollander will have high expectations due to his potentially rapid rise to the majors and pedigree, though it's worth keeping in mind the challenge he faces with Coors Field as his home park.
