Michael Toglia - Page 3 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Out of lineup again Thursday Toglia is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Phillies.

Impact It's the second straight day and third time over the last six games that Toglia has been absent from the Rockies' lineup. The switch hitter does not appear to be injured, so it could be that he's losing his grip on a starting job. Toglia leads all of baseball with 71 strikeouts this season and has struck out at a 41.7 percent clip in May. Kyle Farmer is at first base for a second straight day Thursday.

Hitting bench Wednesday Toglia is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Toglia has held down an everyday gig all season, but his grip on a full-time role could be starting to loosen a bit. He'll be on the bench for the second time in five games, with the Rockies once again turning to Kyle Farmer to replace him at first base. After mashing 25 home runs and reaching base at a .311 clip in 2024, Toglia has seen his slugging percentage and on-base percentage drop 89 and 39 points, respectively, from last season. Meanwhile, Toglia's strikeout rate sits at 38.6 percent so far in 2025, up more than six percentage points from a season ago.

Not starting Saturday Toglia isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Heating up in May Toglia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-3 loss to Texas.

Impact Toglia has now recorded at least one hit in five of his last six games, and he added his third home run in the month of May. The switch hitter now has six multi-hit efforts in 2025, and he's hitting .281 with three long balls, two doubles and five RBI over his last 32 at-bats (nine games). Toglia's fantasy appeal gets a considerable boost when he plays at home, as evidenced by his .886 OPS across 75 at-bats at hitter-friendly Coors Field this year.

Power coming around Toglia went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks Friday against the Padres.

Impact Toglia has struggled to get going at the plate this season, though there have been some positive aspects to his performance across the last two weeks. Four of his five home runs have come in his last 13 games, and he's also delivered seven RBI and four runs scored. Despite that short-term success, he has just a .208 average with a 35.2 percent strikeout rate across 145 plate appearances on the campaign.

Collects three XBHs in defeat Toglia went 3-for-4 with a home run, two doubles, a walk and two total RBI in Wednesday's extra-inning loss to Detroit.

Impact Toglia and teammate Ryan McMahon each had two doubles and a homer in the contest, and the pair combined for four RBI. Toglia's long ball was a 413-foot, two-run shot in the third inning that broke a 3-3 tie. This was a much-needed positive performance for the young first baseman -- coming into Wednesday, he had gone 0-for-12 with seven strikeouts over his first four games in May (all road contests in San Francisco).

Continues to thrive at home Toglia went 1-for-4 with a home run and an additional RBI in Tuesday's loss to Atlanta.

Impact Toglia got the Rockies on the board in the second inning Tuesday with a solo shot, his third homer of the year. The slugging switch hitter now has at least one hit in nine of his last 12 outings, but Toglia's splits in home and away games could continue to define his overall fantasy appeal. Toglia is batting just .120 with one long ball, one double and four RBI over 50 at-bats on the road, but he's hitting .308 with two round trippers, three doubles and nine RBI across 52 at-bats at Coors Field.
