Jun 18 2025The Astros placed Rodgers on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, retroactive to June 15, due to a left oblique strain, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers presumably sustained the injury the last time he saw the field Saturday against Minnesota, as he went 1-for-2 before being replaced by a pinch hitter. The veteran second baseman will be eligible to be reinstated from the injured list next week, though it's unclear how long he's expected to be sidelined.
Jun 15 2025Rodgers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers will return to the bench after he went 2-for-9 with a run scored over the past three games. With Jacob Melton (ankle) going on the injured list Saturday, Jose Altuve will be needed in left field, but Rodgers may not necessarily be in store for a regular role at the keystone. Mauricio Dubon has been covering third base of late, but he could be prioritized at second base ahead of Rodgers if Isaac Paredes (hamstring) returns next week as anticipated.
Jun 6 2025Rodgers went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Friday against the Guardians. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers has been relegated to a bench bat, with Friday's start marking his first since May 28. He did make the most of his chance by popping his second home run of the season in the sixth inning. Across 115 plate appearances on the campaign, Rodgers has hit just .194/.270/.291.
May 14 2025Rodgers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers has seemingly moved into a part-time role at the keystone, as he'll hit the bench for the third time in five games. Mauricio Dubon will get the nod at second base Wednesday, and Jose Altuve will also remain in the mix for playing time at the position on days that he's not playing left field or serving as a designated hitter.
May 12 2025Rodgers is not in the Astros' starting lineup against the Royals on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers will be on the bench to begin Monday's game while Jose Altuve starts at second base and bats second. Rodgers has reached base safely in nine straight games, but over that span he has slashed just .229/.270/.343 with six runs, one home run, three RBI and a 37.8 percent strikeout rate.
May 10 2025Rodgers is not in Saturday's lineup against the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers will be out of the lineup for the third time in Houston's last five games, after starting the team's four previous matchups. The Astros shifted their defensive alignment Saturday, with Jose Altuve manning second base to accommodate Yainer Diaz at designated hitter.
May 6 2025Rodgers went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Tuesday's loss to the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers abruptly ended Chad Patrick's night with a three-run blast in the seventh to get the Astros on the board. It was his first home run of the season and first RBIs since April 22. He's now hit safely in five straight games, but Rodgers has largely been unable to give much production, and his home run was just his fourth extra-base hit in 77 plate appearances.
May 5 2025Rodgers is not in the Astros' starting lineup against the Brewers on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers will be in the dugout for the beginning of Monday's game while Mauricio Dubon starts at the keystone and bats ninth against Brewers right-hander Tobias Myers. Rodgers has gone 4-for-15 with two runs scored over his last four games.
May 4 2025Rodgers will start at second base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After a stretch in which he made just one start in six games, Rodgers has now been included on four straight lineup cards. He seems to have regained some security as the Astros' preferred option at the keystone after going 3-for-12 with a walk and two runs over the previous three contests.
Apr 21 2025Rodgers went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored Monday against the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers sat for the last two games with right-handed pitchers on the mound, suggesting he may be slipping into a small-side platoon. However, he returned against Kevin Gausman and delivered a two-RBI double in the eighth inning. Rodgers now has three hits across 11 at-bats since returning from a hip injury.
Apr 19 2025Rodgers isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers' base hit in Friday's contest snapped what had been an 0-for-12 stretch at the plate, and he'll now get to rest against Michael King and the Padres. Jose Altuve will move to second base as a result, moving Yordan Alvarez into left field while Yainer Diaz serves as the DH and Victor Caratini starts behind the dish.
Apr 17 2025Rodgers went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts Thursday against the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers was in the lineup for the first time since April 9 after dealing with a hip issue. He retook the starting job at second base and hit sixth, also pushing Mauricio Dubon back to the bench.
Apr 16 2025Rodgers (hip) will start at second base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game versus the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's Rodgers' first start in a week, as he's been dealing with a hip issue. He did make one pinch-hitting appearance during that stretch and is well enough to return to the lineup for Wednesday's series finale.
Apr 15 2025Rodgers (hip) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's contest in St. Louis, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers hasn't started a game since April 9 because of a left hip injury. He did appear as a pinch hitter in Monday's game and presumably will be available off the bench again Tuesday. Mauricio Dubon is starting at second base Tuesday for the third game in a row.
Apr 14 2025Rodgers (hip) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers will be on the bench for the fourth straight game while he contends with a sore left hip, paving the way for Mauricio Dubon to make his third start during that stretch. According to Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle, manager Joe Espada said that Rodgers was able to field some grounders Saturday, which suggests that the Astros are viewing the veteran infielder as day-to-day and remain optimistic that he'll avoid a trip to the injured list.
Apr 13 2025Rodgers (hip) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He'll be on the bench for the third game in a row while he manages a sore left hip. Houston is viewing Rodgers as day-to-day. Mauricio Dubon will take over the keystone Sunday.
Apr 12 2025Manager Joe Espada said that Rodgers is out Saturday due to left hip soreness, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers was fielding grounders before the game, so keeping him out of the lineup was likely just a precautionary measure. Jose Altuve will start at the keystone Saturday with Zach Dezenzo in left field, and Rodgers will aim to return for Sunday's series finale.
Apr 5 2025Rodgers went 1-for-3 with a double and a walk Saturday against the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers started his fourth consecutive game at second base and has gradually picked up his performance. He has at least one hit in each of those four contests and has doubles in consecutive games. Rodgers appears to have a clear grip on a starting role and his recent performance should help him maintain playing time.
Apr 2 2025Rodgers went 1-for-3 with a walk Wednesday against the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It wasn't a standout performance for Rodgers, but he started for the second straight game at second base and has now been in the lineup for four of Houston's six games. His start to the season hasn't been particularly strong, though Rodgers does have a hit in consecutive contests. He'll likely need to pick up his performance to hold off Mauricio Dubon, who has started only twice.
Mar 31 2025Rodgers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers started at second base in the Astros' first two games of the season and went 0-for-6 with a walk and two strikeouts, but he's now ceded the keystone to Mauricio Dubon and Jose Altuve on consecutive days. Altuve is still expected to see the bulk of his playing time in left field this season, but Rodgers may struggle to carve out a full-time role while Dubon remains in the mix at second base.
Mar 29 2025Rodgers isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers is 0-for-6 with a walk and two strikeouts through two games this season. The Astros will give him a chance to regroup Saturday while Mauricio Dubon starts at the keystone and bats eighth.
Mar 27 2025The Astros selected Rodgers' contract from Triple-A Sugar Land on Thursday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers is in the starting lineup for Thursday's opener against the Mets, playing second base and batting eighth. Manager Joe Espada noted that Rodgers is not necessarily the starting second baseman, however, as Mauricio Dubon is also expected to see plenty of playing time there, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Mar 25 2025Rodgers will be on the Astros' Opening Day roster, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers didn't exactly have a great spring training, finishing camp with a .233/.250/.349 batting line alongside eight RBI and four runs scored across 44 plate appearances. Despite his lackluster performance, he'll land a spot on the Astros' bench to begin the 2025 campaign. The 28-year-old hasn't played anywhere other than second base since 2021, so he'll likely only get to see playing time whenever Mauricio Dubon receives a day off or starts in the outfield.
Mar 17 2025Rodgers has gone 8-for-28 with six strikeouts in Grapefruit League games. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers is in Houston camp on a non-roster deal and is vying for the second base job. If he can't wrestle the role from Mauricio Dubon, Rodgers could miss out on a roster spot altogether due to his lack of defensive versatility. Included in his contract is an opt-out, per Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle, so he could find work elsewhere.
Feb 18 2025Rodgers signed a minor-league contract with the Astros on Tuesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers slashed .267/.314/.407 with 13 home runs and 54 RBI over 539 plate appearances with the Rockies last season. However, his OPS dropped to .571 when he wasn't hitting at Coors Field, which likely factored into Colorado's decision to non-tender him in November. Now in Houston, he figures to have a better chance of making the Opening Day roster with Jose Altuve moving to left field, though Rodgers will still have plenty of competition for the second-base job during spring training from Mauricio Dubon and Shay Whitcomb, among others.
Nov 22 2024The Rockies non-tendered Rodgers on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers was one of the Rockies' more productive bats in 2024, slashing .267/.314/.407 with 54 RBI across 539 plate appearances. However, the team -- seemingly willing to give Aaron Schunk a look at second base -- will let Rodgers enter the open market after six seasons in Colorado.
Sep 29 2024Rodgers (hamstring) is not in Sunday's lineup against the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers appeared off the bench in Saturday's game after being scratched from the lineup, but he'll remain out of the starting nine in the finale. Aaron Schunk will start at second base and bat eighth.
Sep 28 2024Rodgers was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's game versus the Dodgers due to left hamstring soreness. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers missed two games earlier in the week due to left hamstring problems before returning to action Friday, and his injury will now cause him to sit down once again. Aaron Schunk will fill in as Colorado's second baseman and may be in line for another start Sunday if Rodgers is unable to play in the season finale.
Sep 27 2024Rodgers (hamstring) will start at second base and bat sixth in Friday's game against the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers missed each of the previous three contests with left hamstring tightness but has improved enough to give it a go in the series opener versus the Dodgers. After putting up a .936 OPS in August, Rodgers has cratered to a .496 OPS in September.
Sep 26 2024Rodgers (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers has now missed three starts in a row with left hamstring tightness, though he had indicated previously he did not expect to face a long-term absence. Aaron Schunk will get another start at second base in Thursday's series finale.
Sep 25 2024Rodgers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals with a left hamstring injury, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers missed a couple starts earlier this month with right hamstring tightness, but it's apparently an injury to his other hamstring that will keep him out of the lineup Wednesday for the second day in a row. For his part, Rodgers doesn't seem too concerned about the injury, as he said he would be available off the bench for an at-bat, if needed. Aaron Schunk will cover the keystone Wednesday in Rodgers' stead.
Sep 23 2024Rodgers went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers had three hard hit balls in play and had a double that would've been a home run in 11 ballparks. Rodgers last homered Aug. 30 and has just five RBI in September while hitting .183 with a 36.4 percent strikeout rate through 18 games this month.
Sep 16 2024Rodgers (hamstring) is starting at second base and batting fifth for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers was not in the starting lineup for the Rockies' last two games due to right hamstring tightness, but he did pinch hit for Aaron Schunk in the seventh inning of Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Cubs. Rodgers has slashed .283/.325/.455 with seven home runs and 22 RBI over 200 plate appearances since the All-Star break.
Sep 15 2024Rodgers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs due to right hamstring tightness, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The injury will cost Rodgers a second straight start, but the Rockies don't seem to believe he's at risk of landing on the 10-day injured list. In fact, Lyons relays that the second baseman could be back in the lineup as soon as Monday's game against the Diamondbacks. Over the final two weeks of the season, the Rockies will play nine of their 12 games at hitter-friendly Coors Field, making Rodgers a more appealing fantasy option than usual if he's able to shake off the hamstring injury.
Sep 14 2024Rodgers was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's game versus the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Rockies have not yet provided a reason for removing Rodgers from the starting nine, but more information should come in the near future. In the meantime, Aaron Schunk will step in to start at second base while batting ninth.
Sep 6 2024Rodgers is out of the lineup for Friday's game at Milwaukee. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers started the previous seven games but will receive a day off after batting .310 (9-for-29) with three homers during that stretch. Aaron Schunk will take over at second base and bat ninth in the series opener.
Aug 29 2024Rodgers went 3-for-5 with a pair of home runs, three total RBI and three total runs scored in Thursday's 12-8 loss to the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers got Colorado on the board with a solo shot off Valente Bellozo in the third inning before adding a two-run homer in the fourth. It's the first multi-homer game of the year for Rodgers, who'd been marred in a 3-for-24 slump coming into Thursday's contest. Overall, the 28-year-old second baseman has put together a solid campaign -- he's now slashing .274/.319/.419 with 12 homers, 48 RBI, 57 runs scored and one stolen base across 180 plate appearances.
Aug 28 2024Rodgers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers is likely getting a veteran's rest day after he had started each of the Rockies' last 20 games. He owns an .818 OPS for August but has cooled off at the plate of late, going 3-for-24 with 11 strikeouts and no walks over his last six contests. Aaron Schunk will step in at second base for the slumping Rodgers.
Aug 22 2024Rodgers went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI against the Nationals on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers accounted for Colorado's only run of the game and continued his surge in August. Across 17 games, he's hit .364 with three homers, 11 RBI and 12 runs scored. Even more impressive is that eight of those contests have come away from the hitter-friendly Coors Field.
Aug 16 2024Rodgers went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 7-3 win over the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers' first-inning blast provided all the offense the Rockies needed for the win. He's been excellent in August, going 20-for-51 (.392) with three homers, 10 RBI and six doubles over 13 contests this month. The surge has him up to a .280/.325/.422 slash line with 10 homers, 44 RBI, 52 runs scored, 23 doubles and a stolen base through 104 contests as Colorado's starting second baseman.
Aug 12 2024Rodgers went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Monday's loss to the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers gave Colorado its first lead with a sacrifice fly in the fourth inning and added a solo shot to center field in the sixth. The long ball extended the infielder's hitting streak to seven games, and he's had at least one hit in 11 of his past 12 contests. During the latter stretch, Rodgers is batting .391 (18-for-46) with two home runs, six doubles, eight RBI and eight runs scored.
Aug 4 2024Rodgers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers started the previous 22 games and will receive Sunday off after going 7-for-20 with three doubles and a home run in his past five contests. Aaron Schunk will start at the keystone and bat ninth in the series finale at San Diego.
Aug 2 2024Rodgers went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored in Friday's 5-2 win over the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers ended a 10-game homer drought when he opened the scoring in the second inning. He also knocked a double for the third time in four games. The second baseman hit just .221 in July, but he's already 5-for-8 over the first two games in August. For the season, he's produced a .271/.316/.402 slash line with eight long balls, 35 RBI, 44 runs scored, one stolen base, 19 doubles and a triple over 93 contests.
Jul 25 2024Rodgers went 4-for-5 with a double, four runs scored and a pair of RBI in Wednesday's 20-7 win over Boston. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers has at least one hit in six straight games following the All-Star break -- he's gone 9-for-25 (.360) with a home run in that span. Overall, the 27-year-old second baseman is slashing .270/.313/.394 with seven homers, 41 runs scored and 33 RBI across 336 plate appearances this season.
Jul 21 2024Rodgers went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Sunday against the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers accounted for all of Colorado's offense with his seventh home run of the season. Despite playing in Coors Field for nine of his 16 games in July, he has hit just .197 with two home runs, four RBI and seven runs scored for the month.
Jul 13 2024Rodgers went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 7-6 loss to the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: His seventh-inning shot off Sean Manaea kicked off a late rally for the Rockies that fell just short. It was Rodgers' first homer in July, and only his second extra-base hit -- the 27-year-old infielder is slashing just .209/.277/.302 through 11 games on the month with two RBI and five runs.
Jul 7 2024Rodgers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers is hitting .348 in July but will sit Sunday after starting the previous six games. Aaron Schunk will start at the keystone and bat ninth in the series finale versus Kansas City while Rodgers receives a routine day of rest.
Jun 30 2024Rodgers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers had started in each of the Rockies' last six games following his return from the injured list June 21, going 7-for-21 with two home runs, two walks, five RBI and three runs. He'll get a breather for Sunday's matinee, paving the way for Aaron Schunk to make his first MLB start.
Jun 29 2024Rodgers went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Saturday's 11-3 loss to the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers opened the scoring with a solo home run in the second inning, walked and scored in the fifth and then added a single in the seventh. The second baseman has been great in June, hitting .340 with three home runs and 10 RBI despite missing about two weeks with a hamstring injury. On the year, he is hitting .380 with five home runs, 27 RBI and 27 runs scored over 253 plate appearances.
Jun 24 2024Rodgers went 2-for-4 Sunday against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers was activated from the injured list Friday after missing around two weeks with a hamstring injury, and he was in the starting lineup both Saturday and Sunday. He hit cleanup on both occasions, going a combined 3-for-8 with a home run and three RBI. The Rockies will head on a five-game road trip starting Tuesday, and Rodgers has hit just .239 with no home runs away from Coors Field this season.
Jun 21 2024Rodgers (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers is officially back on the Rockies' active roster after missing exactly two weeks of action. While he isn't in the lineup for Friday's contest, he should be expected to take over second base duties from Alan Trejo this weekend.
Jun 20 2024Rodgers (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday, MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers participated in batting practice drills Tuesday and Wednesday before heading out for game action. Rockies manager Bud Black said that Rodgers is expected to require only two rehab games with Albuquerque, so the second baseman could be cleared to return from the 10-day injured list ahead of Sunday's series finale versus the Nationals.
Jun 18 2024Rodgers (hamstring) will be going on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque prior to being activated from the 10-day injured list, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After some speculation on whether he'd require a rehab assignment, Rodgers confirmed Tuesday he would indeed be heading to the Rockies' top minor-league affiliate before activation. The 27-year-old has been on the injured list since June 8 while recovering from a left hamstring strain, and he'll likely play in multiple contests with Albuquerque prior to being activated. With Rodgers on the cusp of returning, Adael Amador seems like a potential candidate to be sent down in the coming days.
Jun 17 2024Rodgers (hamstring) went through a full workout Monday at Coors Field and the Rockies are still deciding whether he needs a rehab assignment before being activated, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers resumed baseball activities a few days ago and it appears he's continued to progress without issue. He's eligible for activation from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, and while there's no indication he'll return on that date, it doesn't appear to have been ruled out. Adael Amador has been filling in for Rodgers at second base but is likely to be sent back to Double-A Hartford once Rodgers is ready.
Jun 16 2024Rodgers (hamstring) has engaged in all baseball activities in recent days, MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers has been running and hitting soft-toss pitching, though he took another step forward by doing light fielding drills Saturday. The team has said they expect Rodgers to return from the 10-day injured list shortly after he's eligible for activation Tuesday. He'll likely complete a brief minor-league rehab assignment prior to being reinstated.
Jun 11 2024Rockies manager Bud Black said Monday that Rodgers was diagnosed with a "mild strain" of his left hamstring and isn't expected to stay on the injured list for much longer than the minimum 10 days, MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers strained his hamstring while running to first base on a sacrifice-bunt attempt in last Friday's game against the Cardinals and was placed on the 10-day IL two days later. While he's not on track to be activated when first eligible next Tuesday, Rodgers looks like he might have a chance to return before the end of June, depending on how quickly he's able to resume baseball activities. Adael Amador was recalled from Double-A Hartford on Sunday and is expected to serve as the Rockies' primary second baseman for the duration of Rodgers' absence.
Jun 9 2024The Rockies placed Rodgers (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The move was reported Saturday, and the transaction is now official with prospect Adael Amador getting a call-up from Double-A Hartford to join the Rockies. Rodgers will be eligible to be reinstated June 18, but it's unclear exactly how long he's expected to be sidelined by the hamstring strain. Amador and Alan Trejo should handle second base for Colorado while Rodgers is out.
Jun 8 2024Rodgers (left hamstring strain) will be placed on the 10-day injured list, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers was removed from Friday's game against the Cardinals after he had his hamstring tightened up while running out a hit. Further evaluation revealed that the second baseman has a strain in his left hamstring and will need an IL stint. Infielder Adael Amador will be called up from Double-A Hartford to fill Rodgers' spot on the active roster and should share second base duties with Alan Trejo.
Jun 7 2024Rodgers exited Friday's game against the Cardinals after feeling tightness in his hamstring while running the bases, MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Both Rodgers and manager Bud Black expressed optimism that the injury is not serious. However, Rodgers will reportedly require treatment over the next couple of days, suggesting it would be a surprise to see him in the lineup Saturday. Alan Trejo should line up to start at second base if Rodgers is forced to remain on the bench.
Jun 6 2024Rodgers went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a run scored Wednesday against the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers accounted for the majority of his production with a two-RBI single in the first inning. He now has at least one extra-base hit and one RBI in three straight games and has driven in eight runs across his last seven starts. Rodgers has lacked power production early this season, though he has managed a .274 batting average with 46 combined runs and RBI across 57 games.
May 30 2024Rodgers went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's win over the Guardians. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers grounded out in his first at-bat before launching a two-out, two-run homer off Logan Allen in the following frame as part of a six-run inning for Colorado. The home run was just the second on the season for the second baseman and his first this month, during which he's now batting .291 with nine RBI and nine runs scored. Rodgers has also hit safely in each of his last eight games.
May 23 2024Rodgers is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers will be joined on the bench by Elias Diaz, Charlie Blackmon and Kris Bryant as the Rockies rest four key regulars for the day game after a night game. Alan Trejo will step in at second base in place of Rodgers, who had slashed .280/.314/.317 with zero home runs and his first career stolen base while starting in each of the Rockies' previous 20 games.
May 12 2024Rodgers went 2-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers has hit safely in seven straight games, and four of those have been multi-hit performances. He's gone 11-for-27 (.407) in that span, but he's also logged just one extra-base hit, a double, during the streak. Rodgers had a mostly inconsistent start to the campaign, but he's up to a decent .268/.316/.354 slash line with one home run, eight RBI, 14 runs scored, six doubles and a triple through 36 contests. It's not a great line, but the second baseman could still find his power again with his home games at hitter-friendly Coors Field, though he's also sporting a 25.0 percent strikeout rate, his highest in four years.
May 10 2024Rodgers went 1-for-4 with a run scored Thursday against the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers played his part in a seven-run fourth inning for Colorado by reaching base on a single and coming around to score. It was an otherwise unremarkable game, but he has at least one hit in 11 of his last 13 starts and has hit .313 (15-for-48) with a homer, five RBI and six runs scored in that span. Rodgers still has a poor .632 OPS for the season, but he is showing signs of life at the plate.
Apr 28 2024Rodgers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros in Mexico City. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers will hit the bench for the series finale after he had started in each of the Rockies' last seven games while going 7-for-24 with a home run, four walks, four RBI and two runs. Alan Trejo will cover the keystone Sunday while Rodgers sits.
Apr 24 2024Rodgers went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in the Rockies 7-4 win over the Padres on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers stepped up to the plate in the fourth with the bases juiced and sent a 421-foot blast to left-center field to put the Rockies in front 5-4 and they would never look back. It was his first career grand slam, his first RBI since April 13 and his first extra-base hit since April 12. It's been a rough go at the plate early on for the 27-year-old, as he's slashing just .197/.230/.324 with seven RBI, nine runs and a 3:20 BB:K in 74 plate appearances.
Apr 21 2024Rodgers (illness) is starting at second base and hitting sixth in the Rockies' first game of their doubleheader against the Mariners on Sunday.

Apr 17 2024Rodgers (illness) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Philadelphia. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers will miss a third straight start due to illness.

Apr 16 2024Rodgers (illness) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Philadelphia. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers was a late scratch from Monday's lineup due to illness and still isn't feeling up to playing. Alan Trejo will again filling in at second base for the Rockies. Trejo went 1-for-3 at the plate in Monday's loss to the Phillies.
Apr 15 2024Rodgers was scratched from the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The reasoning for Rodgers' removal from the Rockies' lineup is not yet clear. Alan Trejo replaced him at second base and will bat ninth.
Apr 13 2024Rodgers went 1-for-4 with two RBI on Saturday against the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers' performance was far from perfect, as he also struck out three times. However, with his timely two-RBI knock in the sixth inning, he extended his hitting streak to three games while also tallying at least one hit in four of his last five contests. Though there's been some positive of late for Rodgers, he still has a poor .222/.250/.333 line across 56 plate appearances to begin the new campaign.
Apr 7 2024Rodgers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alan Trejo will pick up the start at second base while Rodgers rests for the second time in the Rockies' first 10 games of the season. Over 35 plate appearances to date, Rodgers is hitting .147 with no extra-base hits, no stolen bases, no RBI and four runs.
Apr 5 2024Rodgers went 1-for-4 with a double, a walk and two runs scored Friday against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers went just 3-for-25 in the Rockies' opening road trip of the season while striking out at a 28 percent clip. He fared better at the hitter-friendly Coors Field on Friday, and his performance was highlighted by a double in the first inning. That marked Rodgers' second extra-base hit of the season, though he'll have the chance to add to that total in the remaining five games of the current homestand.
Apr 3 2024Rodgers is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He's being given a day of rest as Alan Trejo handles second base. Rodgers has had a rough start to the season, going 3-for-25 with a 7:0 K:BB.
Mar 3 2024Rodgers will bat cleanup for the Rockies to begin the 2024 season, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers was limited by a shoulder injury for much of the 2023 season, and he managed just a .701 OPS across 192 plate appearances. Now fully healthy, the Rockies are hoping he'll be in for the breakout season his prospect pedigree seemed to promise. While Rodgers doesn't have the prototypical power of a cleanup hitter -- he has a career .146 ISO -- he makes relatively consistent contact which should make him productive with runners in scoring position.
Jan 11 2024The Rockies and Rodgers avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $3.2 million contract Thursday, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers had been in his second year of arbitration eligibility. The second baseman missed a large chunk of the 2023 season following shoulder surgery, but he finished strong and will be looking to build off that heading into the 2024 campaign.
Sep 30 2023Rodgers went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Friday against the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers led off the fifth inning with his fourth home run of the season, each of which has come in his last nine games. He's been limited to only 44 games after suffering a shoulder injury during spring training, though he's ultimately delivered a stat line remarkably similar to his 2022 campaign. Most importantly, Rodgers appears to be proving healthy before heading into the offseason.
Sep 28 2023Rodgers went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Dodgers on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers brought the Rockies to within 4-2 with his solo blast in the sixth inning, but that was the final run the team was able to muster. The long ball was his third of the campaign, all of which have come over his past seven games. Rodgers is slashing .310/.333/.690 over that stretch as he puts together a strong end to a mostly lost season -- he didn't play until late July due to a shoulder injury he suffered during spring training.
Sep 25 2023Rodgers went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's loss to the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers took Jordan Wicks deep to center in the third to get the Rockies on the board. It was just his second home run since returning from the injured at the end of July, and he's now sporting a slash line of .359/.419/.538 with six RBI, five runs and a 3:5 BB:K over his last 10 games.
Sep 20 2023Rodgers went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: In his 36th game, Rodgers finally hit his first homer of the season, driving a Seth Lugo fastball over the left-center field fence in the first inning. The 27-year-old infielder has hit safely in seven straight games, going 12-for-27 (.444) with a double, four runs and four RBI, and with the Rockies finishing their campaign with a seven-game homestand next week, Rodgers could be able to keep his hot streak going.
Sep 18 2023Rodgers went 3-for-4 with two RBI and one run scored in Monday's 11-9 loss to the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers has three multi-hit efforts in a row and a five-game hitting streak. He's struggled to generate runs lately, as he had just three RBI over his previous 22 contests before knocking in a pair of runs on RBI singles in the second and ninth innings Monday. Rodgers is slashing .252/.317/.315 with no home runs, 14 RBI, 16 runs scored, six doubles and a triple through 34 games this season.
Sep 16 2023Rodgers will sit for the first half of Saturday's doubleheader against San Francisco, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers has hit a disappointing .209/.272/.270 in 31 games since returning from shoulder surgery. He could return to the lineup for the nightcap, but for now, it will be Harold Castro who starts at second base.
Sep 10 2023Rodgers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers rejoined the lineup Friday after missing most of the week with an illness, and he's back on the bench Sunday for the second straight game.

ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's Rodgers' first start since Sunday, as he's been battling an illness this week but is finally feeling well enough to give it a go. The infielder is sporting just a .218/.274/.295 slash line in 20 games since returning from shoulder surgery in late July.
Aug 30 2023Rodgers (illness) was scratched from the lineup Wednesday versus Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers is apparently still battling symptoms related to the illness that kept him out both Monday and Tuesday. Alan Trejo will instead start at second base and bat eighth as the Rockies wrap up their three-game series against the NL East leaders.
Aug 29 2023Rodgers (illness) remains out of the lineup Tuesday versus Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers was scratched from the Rockies' lineup Monday due to an illness and apparently needs a bit more rest and treatment. Harold Castro is playing second base and batting seventh Tuesday against the NL East leaders.
Aug 28 2023Rodgers has been scratched from Monday's starting lineup against Atlanta due to illness, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers was expected to bat sixth and man the keystone, but he'll now be considered day-to-day due to an illness. Harold Castro will play second base and bat seventh in Rodgers' place.
Aug 20 2023Rodgers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers started the past eight games and will take a seat Sunday after hitting .303/.343/.485 during that stretch. Harold Castro will man the keystone and bat sixth Sunday in his place.
Aug 17 2023Rodgers went 2-for-4 with two doubles, three RBI and a run scored Wednesday against the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers delivered a two-RBI double and came around to score in the sixth inning to briefly give the Rockies the lead. After a slow start in his return from a hamstring injury that cost him the first four months of the season, Rodgers has benefitted from hitter-friendly Coors Field to tally four hits across 12 at-bats while racking up five RBI and two runs scored across his last three games. He's hit between fourth and sixth in Colorado's lineup but figures to be an everyday player down the stretch of the campaign.
Aug 11 2023Rodgers (hamstring) went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers' fourth-inning single forced an error from the Dodgers' defense, allowing the Rockies' lone run to score. After missing four months of the season with a shoulder injury, he sat out another three games with a minor hamstring issue. The second baseman is batting a mediocre .214 with two RBI and a 1:9 BB:K over seven contests this season. If his bat doesn't heat up, he may lose work to some combination of Harold Castro and Alan Trejo.
Aug 10 2023Rodgers (hamstring) isn't in the Rockies' lineup Thursday against the Dodgers, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers has been dealing with discomfort in his right hamstring lately, and it will cause him to miss his third consecutive start Thursday. Alan Trejo will fill in at the keystone and bat sixth.
Aug 9 2023Rodgers (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers has spent most of the season on the shelf while recovering from shoulder surgery, but it's a tight right hamstring that will keep him on the bench for the second day in a row. Per MLB.com, Rodgers picked up the injury when he lunged after a grounder in the field in the first inning of Monday's 12-1 loss to the Brewers, but he was able to finish out the game. After Alan Trejo replaced Rodgers at the keystone for Tuesday's 7-3 win, Harold Castro will get the nod at second base for the series finale.
Aug 8 2023Rodgers is out of the lineup Tuesday versus the Brewers due to right hamstring discomfort, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers tweaked his hamstring on a play in the field Monday in Milwaukee and could be held out of action until Thursday's series opener at Dodger Stadium. The good news is that the oft-injured 26-year-old infielder should not require yet another IL stint.
Aug 6 2023Rodgers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He'll get a breather for the series finale after he started in all five of the Rockies' games since he returned from the 60-day injured list Monday, going a collective 5-for-21 with two RBI and one walk against six strikeouts in those contests. Alan Trejo will spell Rodgers at the keystone.
Jul 31 2023Rodgers (shoulder) went 1-for-4 in Monday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers missed four months of the campaign while recovering from a shoulder injury. He got the nod at designated hitter Monday, though he should also eventually enter the mix for playing time at second base, which has primarily been Harold Castro's position lately. Rodgers slashed .266/.325/.408 with 13 home runs over 137 contests last season, so he should provide some modest pop and on-base skills if he can work his way into an everyday role.
Jul 16 2023Rodgers (shoulder) will head out to High-A Spokane on Monday to begin a rehab assignment, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: At one point, Rodgers' injury was feared to be season-ending, but he now appears to be on the verge of a return to live action. Rodgers will start out at the High-A level, and given the extended absence, he figures to take close to the full 20 days allotted to him on rehab. While he took a bit of a step backward last season, Rodgers is a .294/.349/.442 career hitter at home in Coors Field.
Jul 1 2023Rodgers (shoulder) took part in batting practice Saturday, Manny Randhawa of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers began hitting drills in mid-June, though that was with softer practice balls. After the All-Star break, he is expected to report to the Rockies' spring training facility to continue to ramp up his activity. If all goes well, Rodgers hopes to return at some point in August.
Jun 19 2023Rodgers (shoulder) is slated to begin hitting drills this week, MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers will hit softer practice balls in the batting cage as he slowly ramps things up following surgery during spring training to repair the labrum in his left (non-throwing) shoulder. He's also fielded some grounders and done some running drills. He still has a long way to go, but the hope is Rodgers might be able to return sometime in August.
Jun 10 2023Rodgers (shoulder) is fielding grounders and showing better range of motion, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers has been out all season after undergoing shoulder surgery. The surgery once appeared to be potentially season-ending, but the Rockies seem optimistic that he could return late this season. Any potential return is still months away, but he's at least taking steps in the right direction.
May 22 2023Rodgers (shoulder) is ahead of schedule and has a chance to return later this season, Rockies manager Bud Black told Thomas Harding of MLB.com on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers -- who underwent surgery to repair a capsule tear in his left shoulder in early March -- was taking grounders at Coors Field pregame Monday. There is no timetable for his return, but he's progressing well and the team hasn't given up hope that he could make a late-season return. Fantasy managers would be wise not to count on it, however.
Mar 25 2023Rodgers (shoulder) was placed on the 60-day injured list by the Rockies on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers was one of three players for Colorado to hit the 60-day injured list, with Sean Bouchard (biceps) and Ryan Rolison (shoulder) joining him on the IL. Rodgers picked up a significant left shoulder injury early in spring that was determined to have damaged to his capsule, and there's a very good chance he won't be able to play in 2023.
Mar 2 2023Rodgers was determined to have suffered significant damage to the capsule in his left shoulder following an MRI on Wednesday and could be facing season-ending surgery, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers was initially diagnosed with a dislocated left shoulder when he dove hard for a ball in a Cactus League game Tuesday against the Rangers, but follow-up tests have revealed a more serious injury than anticipated. Harding notes that doctors are still reviewing the full scope of the issue, so it may be several days before a determination on surgery is made one way or the other. The 26-year-old had been in line to serve as the Rockies' everyday second baseman in 2023, but his expected absence will force Colorado to alter its plans. Ryan McMahon could move over from third base to man the keystone, or Colorado could roll with Harold Castro or Alan Trejo at the position. Either way, Rodgers appears destined for an extended absence, and his expected absence for a large chunk of the season -- if not all of it -- is a major blow for the Rockies organization.
Mar 1 2023The Rockies sent Rodgers (shoulder) in for an MRI on Wednesday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After he exited Tuesday's Cactus League game against the Rangers early, Rodgers was given a preliminary diagnosis of a dislocated left shoulder, but the MRI should offer more clarity on the exact nature of the injury as well as its severity. For the time being, the Rockies seem to be viewing Rodgers as day-to-day, but even if the MRI doesn't reveal anything overly concerning, the 26-year-old may be several days away from rejoining the spring lineup.
Feb 28 2023Rodgers left Tuesday's Cactus League game against the Rangers due to a dislocated left shoulder, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rockies manager Bud Black told reporters after the game that they had to pop Rodgers' shoulder back into place. The injury occured when the infielder was diving for a baseball, and a trainer had to help steady him as he exited. Rodgers will likely need to undergo further testing to see the severity of the injury, and there should be further updates before Wednesday.
Jan 13 2023Rodgers signed a one-year, $2.7 million contract with the Rockies on Friday to avoid arbitration, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's a substantial raise for Rodgers, who was in his first year of arbitration eligibility. The infielder batted .266/.325/.408 with 13 home runs in 2022 while winning his first Gold Glove award at second base. Rodgers is still just 26 so it's possible there's some untapped upside still there.
Oct 4 2022Rodgers went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a 5-2 win against the Dodgers on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers took Los Angeles starter Julio Urias deep to left in the first inning and added a single in the third for his third multi-hit performance in his last five games. During the stretch, the 26-year-old is 9-for-18 with two home runs, a double and three walks and has boosted his season OPS from .710 to .736.
Oct 3 2022Rodgers went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Sunday against the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers took Tyler Anderson yard in the opening frame to tally his 12th home run of the season. It was his first long ball since Aug. 12 -- a span of 32 games -- and he's hit just .188 with five RBI and 12 runs scored in that span. Despite that slump, Rodgers has tallied a career-high 62 RBI and 71 runs scored across 569 plate appearances.
Sep 30 2022Rodgers went 3-for-3 with a double, a walk and a run scored in Friday's 10-1 loss to the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers snapped an 0-for-15 skid that dated back to Sept. 13, though he had a minimal stay on the injured list with a hamstring issue in that span. He was the only Colorado batter to log multiple hits in Friday's blowout loss. The second baseman lifted his season slash line to .263/.321/.399 with the productive effort, and he's added 11 home runs, 61 RBI, 69 runs scored and 30 doubles through 132 contests.
Sep 29 2022Rodgers (hamstring) went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers had a minimal stay on the injured list, but he couldn't break out of his slump in his return. He's now stuck in an 0-for-15 skid that dates back to Sept. 13, and there's no guarantee he sees an everyday role over the last week of the season. He's down to a .259/.317/.393 slash line with 11 home runs, 61 RBI and 68 runs scored through 131 contests this year.
Sep 22 2022Rodgers was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain Thursday, retroactive to Sept. 19. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers was slated to sit for a fourth consecutive game Thursday as he continues to deal with his hamstring injury, but the Rockies will choose to place him on the injured list to give him at least another week to recover. The 26-year-old recently underwent an MRI that revealed encouraging results, and the Rockies hope that he'll be able to return when he's first eligible Sept. 29, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports. Rodgers' move to the injured list makes room for Ezequiel Tovar on the Rockies' active roster.
Sep 21 2022Rodgers (hamstring) isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers continues to deal with a hamstring injury, but he recently underwent an MRI that had reassuring results.

Sep 20 2022Rockies manager Bud Black said the results on Rodgers' (hamstring) MRI were "good," Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

Rodgers is officially listed as day-to-day.
Sep 19 2022Rodgers, who isn't starting Monday against the Giants, will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of his left hamstring strain, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Although manager Bud Black said Sunday that he doesn't think Rodgers' hamstring injury is significant, the second baseman will be further examined to determine the severity of the issue. Ryan McMahon is taking his place at the keystone and leading off Monday, while Rodgers should tentatively be considered day-to-day until the results of his MRI are known.
Sep 18 2022Manager Bud Black said after Sunday's win over the Cubs that he doesn't think Rodgers' hamstring injury is significant, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers exited Sunday's matchup in the first inning after he appeared to suffer a hamstring injury while running to first base, but it doesn't seem as though the issue will force him to miss significant time. He should be considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's series opener against the Giants.
Sep 17 2022Rodgers isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Cubs, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers went 0-for-10 with two walks and two strikeouts over the last three games and will get a day off Saturday. Ryan McMahon is starting at second base and leading off.

Ryan McMahon will shift to the keystone while Elehuris Montero starts at third base.
Sep 3 2022Rodgers went 0-for-4 with a strikeout Friday against the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers returned after a one-game absence caused by a dental issue. After the hitless performance, he has only three hits across 29 at-bats with two RBI and two runs scored through seven games of the team's current road trip. Though the majority of his production has come at home, Rodgers has maintained a .274/.325/.416 line across 514 plate appearances on the season.
Sep 2 2022Rodgers (jaw) is starting at second base and batting second Friday at Cincinnati. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers was held out of the lineup Thursday after undergoing a root canal, but he's back in action Friday after missing only one game. The 26-year-old went 2-for-17 with a triple, a run and five strikeouts in the four games that preceded the absence.
Sep 1 2022Rodgers isn't starting Thursday against Atlanta after he underwent a root canal, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ryan McMahon is starting at second base Thursday, and Rodgers' absence from the lineup apparently stems from his dental procedure. Manager Bud Black said before the game that the team will try to avoid using Rodgers on Thursday, but he'll hit in the cage in case he's needed at some point. The 26-year-old is expected to return to the lineup Friday.
Aug 24 2022Rodgers went 2-for-3 with a double Wednesday against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers continued his productive homestand, as he now has seven hits in 21 at-bats acros five games.

Aug 20 2022Rodgers went 4-for-5 with a double, a run and two RBI in a 4-3 win over San Francisco on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers snapped out of a 2-for-17 slump with his fourth four-hit game of the campaign, including a walkoff single in the 10th off San Francisco closer Camilo Doval. The 26-year-old got Colorado on the board with his third-inning double and added singles in the first, eighth and 10th. Despite the recent cold stretch, Rodgers is slashing a robust .329/.392/.457 across 18 August contests.
Aug 12 2022Rodgers went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Thursday against the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers took Genesis Cabrera yard in the seventh inning to tally his 11th homer of the season. Ten of those home runs have come at home, and he has a .394 wOBA when hitting at Coors Field as opposed to a .263 mark on the road. Overall, that has translated to a .288/.336/.440 line across 437 plate appearances.
Aug 9 2022Rodgers went 4-for-5 with an RBI and three runs scored in Tuesday's 16-5 win over the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers wasn't able to generate much power -- all four of his hits were singles, but he kept the line moving on a busy night for the Rockies' offense. The second baseman has gone 11-for-31 (.355) through his first eight games in August, albeit with only two extra-base hits. The hot stretch has him up to a .284/.334/.432 slash line with 10 home runs, 52 RBI and 57 runs scored through 99 contests.

ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers has recorded hits in each of the last 10 games, slashing .772/.512/.611 with a home run, two doubles, eight runs and two RBI during that time. He'll get a breather while Ryan McMahon shifts to second base with Elehuris Montero starting at the hot corner.
Aug 3 2022Rodgers went 3-for-6 with two walks, a solo home run and three runs scored across both games of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers delivered his 10th home run of the season in the first game, taking Yu Darvish yard in the fourth frame. He's been strong across the last month -- spanning 29 games -- during which he's maintained a .318/.371/.445 line with three home runs, 14 RBI and 15 runs scored. While he hasn't shown much growth in production from his 15-homer 2021 campaign, Rodgers has settled into being a reasonably productive player as the Rockies' everyday second baseman.
Jul 30 2022Rodgers went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Since July 15, Rodgers has recorded at least one hit in 11 of 12 games, with multiple hits in seven of them. The infielder has added a home run and five doubles in that span. For the season, he's slashing .278/.327/.430 with nine homers, 49 RBI, 49 runs scored, 23 doubles and two triples through 90 contests.

Apr 25 2022Rodgers went 0-for-2 with a walk in Monday's loss to the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers was back in the lineup after being replaced by Alan Trejo for the last two games. The time off didn't make a tangible difference in his results however, as Rodgers is now hitless in his last 16 at-bats. If there is a positive angle to take, it's that Rodgers did not strike out, which marks only the third third time in 13 starts that he has not been punched out at least once this season. Trejo doesn't appear to be a long-term threat to Rodgers' playing time, though the eventual return of Garrett Hampson (hand) will put pressure on him to perform.
Apr 24 2022Rodgers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers will sit for the second straight game in favor of Alan Trejo, who drew the nod at second base over the former in the second half of Saturday's doubleheader. Though he doesn't yet appear to have lost hold of an everyday role, Rodgers has plummeted in the lineup of late in light of his recent struggles. He was moved to the No. 7 spot in the order for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader and went 0-for-4 in the Rockies' 13-0 loss, dropping his season-long slash line to .087/.157/.109 across 51 plate appearances.

Apr 15 2022Rodgers is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.

Apr 10 2022Rodgers went 0-for-3 with a walk, one RBI and one run scored Sunday against the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers didn't collect a hit but took advantage of a strong offensive performance by the entire Rockies' offense. He's hit third in each of the team's games early on in the campaign, though he has only one hit in 13 plate appearances with four strikeouts.

Sep 12 2021Rodgers went 3-for-4 in Sunday's 5-4 win over Philadelphia.

ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers pinch hit for Charlie Blackmon and got Colorado on the board with a solo home run in the seventh inning. In the eighth, the infielder added an RBI single. Trevor Story (elbow) returned to action Thursday, so Rodgers is likely to see a bench role going forward. He's now slashing .280/.362/.420 with two homers, 10 RBI and three runs scored across 58 plate appearances.
Jun 6 2021Rodgers went 2-for-2 with a two-run home run in Saturday's loss to the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers entered the game as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning and blasted a two-run shot to center field. The homer was his first as a major leaguer and came in his 146th career plate appearance. Rodgers has hit as many as 19 homers in one season in the minors, so there may be some pop in his bat waiting to be tapped into.
Jun 5 2021Rodgers isn't starting Saturday's game against the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers will take a seat after he went 3-for-8 with a double and three RBI across the last two games. Garrett Hampson will shift to shortstop while Yonathan Daza starts in center field.
Jun 2 2021Rodgers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers, AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett Hampson will step into the starting nine in place of Rodgers, who had been in the lineup in each of the Rockies' past seven games. In the last four of those games, Rodgers started at shortstop, and he should remain the primary option at that position while Trevor Story (elbow) is on the shelf. The early returns from Rodgers haven't been overly impressive since he was activated from the injured list May 21; over his first 34 plate appearances with Colorado, Rodgers is slashing .167/.265/.167.
May 22 2021Rodgers went 2-for-3 with two RBI during Saturday's 7-6 win over the Diamondbacks ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old went 0-for-4 in his season debut Friday but collected his first hits and RBI of the season during Saturday's victory. Rodgers missed the first seven weeks of the season with a right hamstring strain but is now in the infield mix for Colorado.
May 21 2021Rodgers (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list Friday and will bat sixth and play second base against the Diamondbacks, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers has plenty of prospect pedigree and is still just 24 years old, but his star has dimmed somewhat due to persistent injury problems. In 102 plate appearances thus far at the big-league level, he's hit a miserable .196/.235/.227. He's been out since mid-March with a strained right hamstring but could get plenty of chances to show what he can do going forward with the rebuilding Rockies already sitting last in the entire league.
May 13 2021Rodgers (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers had been playing in simulated games at the Rockies' extended spring training facility recently, and he'll start at second base during his first rehab game Thursday. It's not yet clear how much time Rodgers will spend with the Triple-A club, but he appears to be nearing his return to major-league game action.
May 9 2021Rodgers (hamstring) will report to the Rockies' extended spring training facility in Arizona this week to continue playing in simulated games, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers had already progressed to playing in simulated games last week at Coors Field, but he should be able to pick up at-bats on a more regular basis in Arizona. Since Rodgers was idle for nearly a month due to the right hamstring strain he suffered in mid-March, he'll get some time to ramp up in Arizona before Colorado presumably sends him out for a rehab assignment at Triple-A Albuquerque. Whenever he's activated from the 10-day injured list, Rodgers could take over as the Rockies' everyday second baseman.
May 4 2021Rodgers (hamstring) took at-bats against rehabbing Rockies starter Kyle Freeland (shoulder) in a simulated game Tuesday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers was reportedly running the bases after getting a hit in the sim game -- a sign that the 24-year-old may be nearly recovered from the right hamstring strain he suffered in mid-March. With the minor-league season beginning Tuesday, Rodgers will likely report to Triple-A Albuquerque in the near future to complete a rehab assignment. Once the hamstring injury is in the rearview mirror, Rodgers could be a candidate to fill an everyday role in the Colorado infield alongside shortstop Trevor Story.
Apr 29 2021Rodgers (hamstring) continues to progress towards a return from the injured list, and he began running Thursday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Postreports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers has been sidelined since March 1 with a hamstring strain. While his return has been slow, there have been no reports of a setback. There is still no timetable for Rodgers' return, but he has already taken batting practice and done fielding drills.
Apr 15 2021Rodgers (hamstring) has been taking batting practice and playing the field recently, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers joined the Rockies for their current road trip in Los Angeles, and he still appears to be on the right track in his recovery. Manager Bud Black said that Rodgers will be sent to the team's alternate training site to take live at-bats once he's closer to a return. While the 24-year-old has continued to make progress after he suffered a right hamstring strain in mid-March, he still doesn't have a clear timetable to return.
Apr 10 2021Rodgers (hamstring) is making significant progress in his recovery, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers suffered a right hamstring strain in mid-March but has been participating in baseball activities recently. He's been doing light running, and he'll take batting practice and work on fielding Saturday. Manager Bud Black said Saturday that Rodgers is getting close to a return, but Black declined to give a specific timetable for the second baseman to make his season debut.
Mar 19 2021Rodgers will be sidelined for at least one month with a right hamstring strain, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The injury was downplayed after the 24-year-old exited Saturday's spring game against the Mariners, but he'll now be unavailable for at least the next four weeks. Rodgers will be sidelined until at least mid-April for the Rockies. Ryan McMahon could see time at second base in his absence, which would open opportunities at third base for Josh Fuentes.
Mar 15 2021Rodgers will continue to rest his hamstring for now, but the injury he suffered Saturday against the Mariners isn't thought to be serious, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers hasn't had the best luck with injuries, but this particular issue doesn't seem like a major one. If he can get back on the field soon, he'll still have time to make the Opening Day roster.
Mar 13 2021Rodgers has been diagnosed with a right hamstring strain, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers left Saturday's spring game against Seattle after pulling up on a steal attempt. The severity of the injury isn't yet known, and it's unclear whether the issue will impact his availability for Opening Day.
Mar 9 2021Rodgers went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, one double and two runs in Tuesday's spring win over the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers had gone just 1-for-5 with a single and two strikeouts across his past two games, but he was dominant in the early innings of Tuesday's Cactus League matchup. After C.J. Cron led off the top of the second inning with a double, Rodgers blasted a two-run homer to left field to put the Rockies on the board. He then led off the top of the fourth inning with a double of his own and was brought in with one out in the frame. The 24-year-old is a strong candidate to carve out regular playing time in the infield this year if he can produce once the season gets underway.
Mar 4 2021Rodgers went 2-for-3 with one home run and two RBI on Thursday against the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers entered the game hitless in four exhibition at-bats. However, he ended any concern resulting from the slow start by singling in a run in the fourth inning prior to blasting a solo homer in the sixth. The 24-year-old was caught stealing in the fourth inning and said after the game that he wants to be a part of the team's emphasis to utilize more speed this year, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports. "I want 20 (stolen bases) this year. You heard it here first," Rodgers said. Whether he's able to do so remains to be seen after he converted on just 24 of his 36 stolen-base attempts across five seasons in the minors, but it appears as though he'll be given opportunities to showcase his speed if he gets enough playing time in 2021. Most importantly, Rodgers has been cleared medically after battling a shoulder injury during the 2020 season, and he'll look to secure regular playing at second base throughout spring training.
Feb 24 2021Rodgers (shoulder) is fully healthy to begin spring training and could compete for time at second base, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers missed the final month of the 2020 season due to what was considered a minor right shoulder strain, but he felt healthy during the offseason and continued to add muscle. He'll compete for the starting job at second base with Garrett Hampson this spring, and he could enter Cactus League play as the favorite for the role with Ryan McMahon shifting to the hot corner, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports. He'll also take grounders at shortstop and third base and could take over as the starting shortstop if the team trades Trevor Story this season. The 24-year-old has been limited by shoulder injuries in each of his first two major-league seasons and slashed .196/.235/.227 with nine home runs and a 32.4 percent strikeout rate over 32 games across the past two years.
Sep 2 2020Rodgers' shoulder strain isn't considered to be a major injury, and he's expected to be able to throw within the next few days, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers reportedly jammed his shoulder in a collision with Manny Machado while sliding into third base Saturday. Whether or not he'll be able to return when first eligible next Wednesday remains to be seen, but it doesn't seem likely that he'll wind up missing the rest of the year.
Aug 31 2020Rodgers was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right shoulder capsular strain Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The infielder's placement on the injured list is retroactive to Sunday, so he could return as soon Sept. 8. The move shouldn't have a huge impact on the Rockies' lineup, as Rodgers has played in a backup role this season.
Aug 24 2020Rodgers is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Rockies brought Rodgers up from their alternate site last Wednesday, but the team is living up to its reputation, tempering excitement over the 24-year-old's arrival. Rodgers has now been out of the lineup for three of the Rockies' last five games. He's struggled to get going with the sporadic playing time, recording just one hit in 12 plate appearances.
Aug 20 2020Rodgers is starting at second base and hitting seventh Thursday against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He gets the start with a righty (Cristian Javier) on the mound, which is a good sign for the righty-hitting Rodgers. Granted, Garrett Hampson, who is not in the lineup, remains healthy and active, so it will be interesting to see how the playing time shakes out now that Rodgers is up. Chris Owings (hamstring) and David Dahl (back) are both on the injured list, so there might be enough playing time to go around in the short term.
Aug 19 2020Rodgers was recalled from Colorado's alternate camp site Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers is set to join the Rockies for the first time all season after failing to break camp with the team. The prospect struggled in his big-league debut in 2019, slashing .224/.272/.250 with 27 strikeouts in 25 games, though he hit .350/.413/.622 across 37 games at Triple-A prior to his promotion. He'll replace David Dahl -- who was sent to the injured list with lower-back soreness -- on the active roster. Rodgers should provide the Rockies with infield depth during his time in the majors.
Jul 22 2020Rodgers was optioned to the Rockies' alternate training site Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers was expected to make the Rockies' major-league roster to begin the season, but he'll instead head to alternate camp ahead of Opening Day on Friday. The 23-year-old completed his rehab from the shoulder surgery that he underwent last June and should be the Rockies' top option to fill in if middle infield help is needed. The highly-rated prospect's major-league debut last year didn't go as planned as he hit .224/.272/.250 with seven RBI and 27 strikeouts over 25 games before his season was cut short with a torn labrum.
Jul 19 2020Rodgers is expected to begin the season on the major-league roster and should see occasional starts at second base, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 23-year-old's availability for the original Opening Day was in doubt as he continued his recovery from the shoulder surgery he underwent last June, but Rodgers completed his rehab and will be available for the start of the shortened season. The starting jobs in the middle infield are locked up by Trevor Story and Ryan McMahon, but Rodgers could still see some starts at second base when McMahon covers first base in place of Daniel Murphy. However, Garrett Hampson and Chris Owings will also be competing for those opportunities.
Jun 6 2020Rodgers has been working out at a local high school during the MLB shutdown and has finished the rehab work from last year's shoulder surgery, Gerard Gilberto of MiLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 23-year-old saw some action in spring training before things were shut down due to the coronavirus, going 3-for-7 in four games. Rodgers missed the second half of the 2019 season after undergoing surgery in June to repair the labrum in his right shoulder, limiting his season to 62 games between Triple-A and the majors. The potential for expanded rosters if/when baseball resumes likely means he'd be with the major-league club for the start of the season.
Mar 5 2020Rodgers (shoulder) said Thursday that he expects to see action in the field in a Cactus League game "within a week," Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: While it once seemed to be a foregone conclusion that Rodgers would open the season on the injured list as he continued his rehab from July shoulder surgery, the 23-year-old has made tremendous progress over the past couple months, keeping hope alive that he'll be ready to go for Opening Day. Per Saunders, Rodgers will make his spring debut Thursday as a designated hitter in the Rockies' split-squad game against the White Sox. He's expected to make a few more appearances as a DH before potentially drawing a start at second base or shortstop next week, which would represent the final hurdle he needs to clear to prove he's healthy. Since Rodgers still has minor-league options remaining, the Rockies may prefer to have him open the season at Triple-A Albuquerque so he can play on an everyday basis. In any case, he likely won't have to wait long before making his 2020 debut with the big club.
Mar 4 2020Rodgers (shoulder) said he will serve as a designated hitter in one of the Rockies' split-squad games Thursday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers has made rapid progress in his recovery from July surgery to repair a torn labrum, as the Rockies were previously uncertain that the 23-year-old would be ready to play in games at any point in spring training. After he was able to gradually ratchet up the intensity of his workouts in the last few weeks, however, Rodgers looks like he'll be ready to make his Cactus League debut in a purely offensive role. The Rockies haven't indicated if Rodgers will be able to play the middle infield before the end of spring training, making it uncertain if he'll be included on the Opening Day roster.
Feb 27 2020Rodgers (shoulder) is on track to make his Cactus League debut as a designated hitter at some point next week, and he could be ready to play second base before spring training concludes, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: When Rodgers underwent surgery last July to repair a torn labrum, the prevailing belief was that his recovery would extend into the first month of the regular season. The 23-year-old has since accelerated his timeline, however, as he's been able to perform full baseball activities for the past three weeks to put himself on track to participate in spring games. Despite his rapid progress, Rodgers still seems likely to either open the season on the Rockies' injured list or report to Triple-A Albuquerque to begin the year. Colorado wants Rodgers to play on an everyday basis, and it would probably behoove the organization to have him shake off the post-surgery rust in the minors rather than at the big-league level.
Feb 22 2020Rodgers (shoulder) could play in the field before the end of spring training, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers underwent right labrum surgery in July and was expected to see some at-bats as a designated hitter this spring, but manager Bud Black said Saturday that his recovery is going faster than expected, and he could be ready to play in the field prior to the end of spring training. Rodgers' recovery will still likely extend into the regular season, but Saturday's update is encouraging for his eventual return.
Feb 16 2020Manager Bud Black said that Rodgers (shoulder) could get some at-bats as a designated hitter in Cactus League games this spring, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rodgers is still recovering from the season-ending procedure he required last July to repair the labrum in his right shoulder. While the fact that he's apparently close to being able to hit against live pitching is a positive sign, Rodgers remains further behind in his throwing program. Per Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post, Rodgers has advanced to throwing long toss from 120 feet, but he'll need more time to build up his arm before he's cleared to throw at maximum velocity in the infield. As a result, the Rockies don't anticipate that he'll be ready to take part in game action at the big-league level until May at the soonest.
Feb 11 2020Rodgers is slightly behind schedule in his recovery from July shoulder surgery, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The news contrasts with reports from early in the offseason, when Rodgers said that he was ahead of schedule. It remains to be seen exactly when he'll be back on the field, though it may make sense for him to open the year at the Triple-A level as he works his way back from his long absence, as he struggled to a .224/.272/.250 line in his 25-game debut last season. Per Thomas Harding of MLB.com, Rodgers isn't expected to return to the majors until May.
Nov 17 2019Rodgers said Saturday that he's progressing well from June surgery to repair the labrum in his right shoulder, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports. "A couple of months ago, I couldn't even feel my arm and now I'm back to pretty much full activity, other than throwing and hitting a baseball," Rodgers said. "Those are things that are going to come. It's a crazy surgery, so you just have to be smart with it." ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 23-year-old indicated that he expects to resume throwing and hitting in about a month, putting him "a couple steps ahead" of where he expected when he required the season-ending procedure. With Rodgers tracking toward being 100 percent for spring training, he should get the chance to contend for the everyday role at second base. Given that he batted only .224/.272/.250 in 81 plate appearances in the majors before getting hurt, however, Rodgers is more likely to open 2020 at Triple-A Albuquerque.

Jun 11 2018Rodgers went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a double for Double-A Hartford in its 6-1 win over Altoona on Sunday.The 21-year-old has homered in back-to-back contests and has gone deep 13 times through 59 games. Rodgers was solid enough in his first taste of the Eastern League in the second half of last season, but he has emerged as one of the standout performers on the circuit in 2018, with his .287/.339/.538 line translating to a 140 wRC+. The shortstop certainly looks like he could be major-league ready, but the Rockies may not entertain a promotion until 2019 so long as everyday middle infielders DJ LeMahieu and Trevor Story are healthy and performing effectively.
