Gaining foothold in lineup Goodman will serve as the Rockies' designated hitter and No. 7 batter in Thursday's game against the Athletics.

Impact Goodman will make his fourth start in five games -- and his third at DH -- after going 4-for-12 with two doubles, an RBI, a run and a stolen base across his prior three contests. His inclusion in the lineup Thursday comes while the Rockies are resting four key regulars (Kris Bryant, Charlie Blackmon, Elias Diaz and Brendan Rodgers), but Goodman's recent usage suggests that he'll be a priority in the lineup over Elehuris Montero, who didn't start either of the past two days following Bryant's return from the injured list.

Roster spot in jeopardy Goodman is not currently projected to make the Rockies' Opening Day roster, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Goodman has reportedly been chasing Sean Bouchard for a roster spot all spring training, and the Rockies' recent addition of Sam Hilliard further hurts his cause. Goodman had a productive big-league debut in 2023, racking up 17 RBI across 77 plate appearances. However, he also had a 31.2 percent strikeout rate in that span. His high rate of punchouts has carried over to this spring, as he has struck out eight times across 19 at-bats in the Cactus League.

Takes seat Thursday Goodman is not in the lineup Thursday against the Dodgers.

Impact Goodman got off to a hot start when he initially joined the Rockies' major-league roster in late August, but he's gone 1-for-26 with 12 strikeouts over his last nine games. Sean Bouchard is in right field Thursday.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Homers in high scoring loss Goodman went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer and three RBI in Sunday's loss to the Giants.

Impact Goodman got the Rockies on the board with a two-run blast to left center and then plated his third run of the game with a sacrifice fly. Each of Goodman's last four hits have all gone for extra bases; however, that's come over a span of eight games, as he hasn't been hitting the ball particularly well. With nothing to lose, it's possible the Rockies give Goodman a longer look over the final two weeks of the season, though he's recently seen his playing time dip. The 23-year-old is slashing .250/.290/.482 with eight extra-base hits, 17 RBI, six runs and a 4:15 BB:K in 62 plate appearances.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Playing time slipping Goodman is not in the lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Giants.

Impact Goodman started the first game of the doubleheader but has now been in the lineup for just two of the team's last six games. Brenton Doyle will take his place Saturday night, playing in center field while hitting ninth.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Friday Goodman isn't in the Rockies' lineup Friday against San Francisco, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Goodman was absent from Colorado's lineup before Thursday's game was rained out, and he'll remain on the bench when the series officially begins Friday. Nolan Jones, Brenton Doyle and Charlie Blackmon will make up the Rockies' outfield while Goodman sits.

Sitting Thursday Goodman isn't in the Rockies' lineup Thursday against the Giants, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Goodman will take a seat Thursday after going 0-for-5 with two strikeouts Wednesday against the Cubs. Nolan Jones, Brenton Doyle and Charlie Blackmon will make up Colorado's outfield while Goodman rests.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out of lineup Tuesday Goodman is absent from the lineup Tuesday versus the Cubs.

Impact This looks to be a routine day of rest for Goodman, who has produced a .302/.340/.535 batting line with 13 RBI through his first 13 major-league games. Nolan Jones is playing left field Tuesday as Elehuris Montero covers first base.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains productive Goodman went 1-for-4 with a triple, two RBI and a run scored Friday against the Giants.

Impact Goodman lined a pitch into center field in the second inning to tally his second career triple while also driving in a pair. He also has at least one hit in eight of his first 10 games in the majors, including five extra-base hits across 31 at-bats. Given that success, it's little surprise that the Rockies have found Goodman regular playing time split evenly between first base and the outfield.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Wraps up strong hometand Goodman went 2-for-3 with two doubles, a walk and three RBI on Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Impact Goodman has drawn six starts in seven games since being called up, and he drew his first look in the outfield Sunday. He's given the Rockies no reason to take him out of the lineup, as he's gone 8-for-21 with three doubles, a triple and six RBI in his first taste of the majors. He'll head away from hitter-friendly Coors Field for the first time in a matchup Monday against Arizona, but Goodman should continue to see regular playing time to close out the season.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets breather Saturday Goodman isn't in the Rockies' lineup Saturday against Toronto, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Goodman will take a seat Saturday after starting his big-league career 6-for-18 with three RBI through five games. Elehuris Montero will draw the start at first base and bat eighth.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Quick start to big-league career Goodman went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI on Monday against Atlanta.

Impact Goodman was called up Sunday and has made a pair of starts at first base since. He's experienced quick success by collecting four hits across eight at-bats while also driving in two and scoring once. While clearly a small sample, Goodman did boast prolific production between Double-A Hartford and Triple-A Albuquerque earlier in the campaign by tallying 34 homers across 467 plate appearances.

AUGUST 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Called up for MLB debut Colorado recalled Goodman from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Jurickson Profar has been released in a corresponding roster move, which should open a path for Goodman in the corner outfield. He can also catch at times when Elias Diaz needs rest or fill in at first base. The 23-year-old was a fourth-round pick in the 2021 MLB Draft and had posted a stellar .919 OPS with 34 home runs and 111 RBI in 106 games this summer between Double-A and Triple-A.

AUGUST 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moves up to Triple-A The Rockies promoted Goodman from Double-A Hartford to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

Impact Goodman wasted no time making an impression with his new club, hitting a grand slam in his Albuquerque debut in a 10-5 loss at Round Rock. Prior to his promotion, the 23-year-old had been one of the top power hitters in the Eastern League this season, smacking 25 home runs and hitting .239 with a 10.5 percent walk rate and 24.5 percent strikeout rate. The Rockies haven't completely pulled the plug on developing Goodman as a catcher, but he's made just 12 starts behind the plate this season compared to 31 in left field, 25 at designated hitter and 24 at first base.

AUGUST 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Third in Double-A with 18 homers Goodman is tied for third among Double-A hitters with 18 home runs and is slashing .228/.324/.488 with a 25.5 percent strikeout rate in 76 games for Hartford.

Impact Goodman has made 27 starts in left field, 20 starts at first base, 20 starts at designated hitter and nine starts at catcher this season for the Yard Goats. Unlike the rest of the Rockies' affiliates, the park in Hartford plays pretty evenly for hitters and pitchers, so Goodman's surface stats will likely spike again once he gets promoted to Albuquerque. His .255 BABIP is partly to blame for his low batting average, but given that he will turn 24 in October and profiles best at the bottom of the defensive spectrum, the offensive bar he needs to clear is high.
