Jun 15 2025Tovar (oblique) resumed jogging Saturday, MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This isn't a substantial step forward for Tovar, though it marks his first activity since landing on the injured list June 6. The Rockies haven't given a timeline for his return, but they are reportedly taking a cautious approach.
Jun 6 2025The Rockies placed Tovar (oblique) on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to June 3. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tovar injured his left oblique Monday and hasn't appeared in a game since and will now require a stint on the injured list. The Rockies selected Ryan Ritter's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday to provide some depth at the shortstop position. Tovar is slashing .258/.301/.406 with three homers in 138 plate appearances this season.
Jun 3 2025Tovar (oblique) will not return to the Rockies' lineup until at least Friday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tovar tweaked his left oblique in Monday's game versus the Marlins and has been ruled out through the Rockies' off day Thursday. The shortstop will continue to be treated and evaluated over the next few days before a decision is made on whether he'll require a trip to the 10-day injured list. Orlando Arcia is filling in at shortstop for the Rockies on Tuesday.
Jun 2 2025Tovar was pulled from Monday's game against Miami as a precaution after feeling discomfort in his left side, Kevin Henry of the Denver Gazettereports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Manager Warren Schaeffer noted after the game that Tovar "felt something in his body," per Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com, and it was later clarified that Tovar experienced discomfort on his left side. Despite this, the 23-year-old stated that he should be available for the second game of the series Tuesday.
May 31 2025Tovar went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two runs scored Saturday against the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tovar got the Rockies going offensively, popping a home run in the opening inning. It was his third long ball of the season but first since May 19. In that span, Tovar has hit a solid .273 with four RBI and seven runs scored across 12 games.
May 19 2025Tovar went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI on Monday in a loss to the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tovar helped Colorado get off to a fast start, belting a solo shot in the first inning and adding a run-scoring single in the third. The shortstop didn't go deep in any of his first 18 contests this season but has now homered in back-to-back games. Since returning from the injured list May 16, Tovar has gone 8-for-14 with the pair of long balls, three runs and four RBI over three games.
May 17 2025Tovar went 5-for-6 with a solo home run, a triple, two total runs and two total RBI against Arizona in a 14-12 victory Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: In just his second game since returning from a month-long stint on the injured list, Tovar shined with his first career five-hit performance. Among the knocks was a 425-foot solo homer in the third inning and an RBI single that provided a big insurance run in the ninth. Tovar has collected hits in bunches this season -- he came into Saturday with just two hits over his previous 23 at-bats, but before that he had put together a 10-for-23 stretch across five contests. After mashing 26 home runs in a breakout campaign last year, Tovar's long ball Saturday was his first through 18 games this season.
May 16 2025The Rockies reinstated Tovar (hip) from the injured list Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: A bruised hip sent Tovar to the injured list in mid-April, and although he didn't progress through rehab as quickly as the team expected, he now seems to be fully past the injury. The 23-year-old went 4-for-18 with an RBI and a run scored in five rehab games at Triple-A Albuquerque and is expected to reclaim his role as Colorado's primary shortstop.
May 12 2025Tovar (hip) played nine innings at shortstop and went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in his rehab appearance Sunday with Triple-A Albuquerque. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tovar began his rehab assignment at Triple-A on Saturday and ended up making starts at shortstop on consecutive days to close out the weekend. Per MLB.com, Tovar is scheduled to be re-evaluated again Wednesday, at which point the Rockies will likely determine whether he'll be available to return from the 10-day injured list for the team's series in Arizona over the weekend. Tovar was slashing .212/.257/.303 with no home runs and two stolen bases over 70 plate appearances before landing on the IL on April 19 due to a left hip contusion.
May 9 2025Tovar (hip) has resumed batting and fielding practice as well as running the bases, MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tovar has been sidelined since April 16 due to a hip injury that has been nagging him for much of the season. He has now cleared a significant milestone in his recovery, and the shortstop will rehab with Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday, per Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com.
Apr 19 2025The Rockies placed Tovar on the 10-day injured list Saturday, retroactive to April 16, due to a left hip contusion. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tovar was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Dodgers due to the left hip injury. The issue is severe enough to warrant a stint on the injured list, and how he responds to treatment over the coming days will help determine his timeline for a return. Aaron Schunk's contract was selected from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move, and he'll start at shortstop and bat ninth against the Nationals on Saturday. Kyle Farmer could also see some playing time at shortstop while Tovar is sidelined.
Apr 16 2025Tovar was scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers due to left hip pain, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The severity of Tovar's injury remains unknown, but it's enough to prevent him from playing in Wednesday's contest. Kyle Farmer will shift to shortstop while Tovar rests, opening up second base for Adael Amador.
Apr 11 2025Tovar (hip) is starting at shortstop and batting third against the Padres on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tovar was held out of Thursday's game against the Brewers due to a nagging hip issue, but he's back in the lineup for Friday's series opener against Padres right-hander Nick Pivetta. Tovar has started the season slashing .277/.306/.404 with two stolen bases, four doubles and four RBI across 49 plate appearances.
Apr 10 2025Rockies manager Bud Black said that Tovar is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Brewers due to a hip issue, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Black noted that while the hip problem has nagged at Tovar for a bit, the club does not think it's serious. The Rockies begin a road trip Friday in San Diego, and Tovar looks like he has a chance to be back in the lineup at that time. Kyle Farmer will start at shortstop Thursday.
Apr 6 2025Tovar went 4-for-5 with two doubles, a steal, three RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's win over the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tovar swiped his first bag of the campaign and also plated some runs for the first time since the season opener. He had a productive home-opening series, going 8-for-15 with three doubles, a triple, three RBI and four runs scored. He'll look to stay hot with the Diamondbacks coming to town to begin the new week.
Apr 3 2025Tovar went 0-for-4 and was caught stealing Thursday against the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Rockies' offense has gotten off to a slow start this season, and Tovar has been a significant reason why. He's now failed to record a hit in three straight starts and is just 3-for-24 overall. Positively, the team will begin a six-game homestand Friday, so Tovar should have the chance to turn things around.
Mar 7 2025Tovar (triceps) will start at shortstop and bat second in Friday's Cactus League game versus the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tovar was removed from Wednesday's contest against the Padres after being hit on the left triceps by a pitch, but he's fine and back out there after a day of rest. The young shortstop is 4-for-17 with three doubles at the dish so far this spring.
Mar 5 2025Tovar left Wednesday's spring game against the Padres due to a left triceps contusion, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tovar had his left arm hit by a pitch from Michael King in the first inning and was replaced by Owen Miller in the third frame. Tovar's removal likely precautionary, and it wouldn't be surprising if he returns to action after Thursdays team off day. The 23-year-old shortstop is coming off a strong 2024 season in which he slashed .269/.295/.469 with 26 home runs and 78 RBI across 694 plate appearances.
Sep 29 2024Tovar went 3-for-4 with a solo homer in Saturday's loss to the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tovar singled in his first trip to the plate before launching a 429-foot solo homer in the bottom of the third inning. The shortstop went on to reach base three times in the contest, tallying at least three hits for the 16th time this season. Tovar has also posted multiple knocks and at least one RBI in each of his last three games, while the long ball was his 26th on the campaign.
Sep 27 2024Tovar went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored Thursday against the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tovar has put together a productive close to the season, with Thursday's performance marking his fifth multi-RBI performance in his last 14 games. He's also struck out multiple times in seven of those contests, inflating his strikeout rate to 29.2 percent on the season. That swing and miss has been covered up by a .344 BABIP, something that may not continue into 2025 even with the benefit of Coors Field as his home park.
Sep 19 2024Tovar went 1-for-4 with two RBI on Wednesday against the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The performance wrapped up a productive six-game homestand for Tovar, as he went 7-for-26 with three home runs, six RBI and four runs scored. He's enjoyed a breakout season, highlighted by 25 homers and a .202 ISO -- a 47-point improvement from 2023.
Sep 17 2024Tovar went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tovar supplied a solo shot in the third inning and an RBI single in the sixth. The shortstop has homered three times over his last five games, going 6-for-22 (.273) in that span. This is his first 25-homer campaign, and he's added a .266/.293/.469 slash line with 70 RBI, 80 runs scored and six stolen bases over 147 contests.
Sep 16 2024Tovar went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two strikeouts in Monday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tovar showed of his power Monday when he took Merrill Kelly deep to the right-center field bullpen. It was Tovar's 24th homer of the season, which ties him with Michael Toglia for the team lead. Tovar entered August slashing .290/.314/.491 but has struggled mightily since to the tune of .194/.229/.388 with six homers and 16 RBI over his last 40 games.
Sep 6 2024Tovar went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Thursday's win over Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tovar went hitless in his first two trips to the plate before jumping on a hanging slider from Reynaldo Lopez in the top of the sixth to notch his 22nd home run of the campaign and give Colorado a 2-1 lead. He would also add his sixth stolen base of the season in the eighth after recording a leadoff single to open the frame. It marked the shortstop's first long ball and multi-hit effort this month and he's now hit safely in nine of his last 12 games. Over that stretch he's batting .270 (13-for-48) with 10 extra-base hits, nine RBI and seven runs scored.
Aug 27 2024Tovar went 3-for-4 with two home runs, a double and four total RBI in Tuesday's 9-8 loss to the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tovar had just one homer while batting .178 over his first 21 games in August. He sat out Monday due to a sports hernia, and it appears the rest did him some good, though it helps the Rockies are facing the Marlins. Tovar is up to 21 homers, 59 RBI, 71 runs scored, four stolen bases, 38 doubles and a .274/.298/.470 slash line through 128 contests overall. It wouldn't be surprising for Tovar to see more regular rest days if his sports hernia flares up again.
Aug 26 2024Tovar, who was given the day off Monday while dealing with a sports hernia, is expected to be in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Rockies failed to disclose much about Tovar's issue prior to this point, which could be one of the causes for his struggles at the dish so far in August. However, the issue shouldn't force the 23-year-old shortstop to miss additional time assuming he feels ready to play ahead of Tuesday's matchup.
Aug 18 2024Tovar is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tovar started the previous 24 games but will sit Sunday while in the midst of a 3-for-19 slump. Aaron Schunk will take over at shortstop and bat ninth in the series finale versus San Diego.
Aug 8 2024Tovar went 1-for-3 with a solo homer in Wednesday's loss to the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tovar jumped on the first pitch he saw from Paul Blackburn in the opening frame and launched it 434 feet for his 19th home run of the campaign, giving Colorado an early 1-0 lead. The shortstop has struggled mightily since the start of August, batting just .120 (3-for-25) through six games so far. The home run marked both his first extra-base hit and first RBI this month, though he's now scored a run in back-to-back games.
Jul 30 2024Tovar went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and two total runs scored in Tuesday's 10-7 loss to the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tovar provided the Rockies' last run with a solo shot in the seventh inning. It was his second multi-hit effort in a row, and it extended his hitting streak to 16 games, a span in which he's lifted six homers and driven in 15 runs. Tovar is up to a .290/.315/.493 slash line with 18 long balls, 52 RBI, 57 runs scored and four stolen bases over 105 contests this year.
Jul 28 2024Tovar went 3-for-5 with two doubles and two runs scored in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tovar's hitting streak is up to 15 games, with this being his ninth multi-hit effort in that span. During the streak, he's gone 28-for-66 (.424) with five home runs, seven doubles, 13 RBI and 13 runs scored. The shortstop's surge has him up to a .287/.313/.485 slash line for the season, and he's added 17 homers, 50 RBI, 55 runs and 31 doubles across 104 contests.
Jul 25 2024Tovar went 3-for-6 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored Wednesday against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tovar continued his hot stretch at the plate. He homered in the first inning and has gone deep five times in his last six starts. Tovar also has an 11-game hitting streak -- six of which have come on the road -- during which he's gone 22-for-51 with 12 RBI and 10 runs scored.
Jul 23 2024Tovar went 3-for-7 with an RBI and a run scored in Monday's extra-innings win over Boston.

He's collected multiple hits in seven of his last eight games, including six in a row. During that eight-game span, Tovar owns a 1.330 OPS with eight extra-base knocks. His season slash line is up to .280/.307/.476 with 46 extra-base hits and 47 RBI through 98 games.
Jul 22 2024Tovar will start at shortstop and bat second in Monday's game against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tovar was withheld from the lineup for Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Giants in what was believed to be a routine rest day, but Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com relays that the shortstop had been dealing with flu-like symptoms. Though Tovar isn't yet feeling 100 percent, he showed enough improvement overnight to re-enter the starting nine for the series opener with the Red Sox.
Jul 21 2024Tovar is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 22-year-old has started 96 of Colorado's 99 games this season and has multiple hits in each of his past five contests, so it's a bit of a surprise he's on the bench so early after the All-Star break. Aaron Schunk will receive a start at shortstop Sunday in Tovar's absence.
Jul 14 2024Tovar went 3-for-4 with two two-run home runs during Sunday's 8-5 win over the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tovar chipped in two of the Rockies' six long balls Sunday, launching two-run homers off Jose Quintana in the first inning and Adrian Houser in the seventh. After going hitless in 28 at-bats to start July, Tovar is 11-for-25 since, with three doubles, five RBI and four runs scored. Despite the cold spell, the 22-year-old is slashing .274/.302/.462 with 14 home runs, 46 runs, 42 RBI and four stolen bases at the All-Star break.
Jul 3 2024Tovar is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wednesday marks Tovar's third day off this season, as the 22-year-old yields to Aaron Schunk at shortstop. Tovar is slashing .276/.304/.459 with 12 home runs across 371 plate appearances.
Jun 21 2024Tovar went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to Washington.

He put the Rockies on the board with a solo shot in the third inning, giving him 12 this year and four in his last 13 contests. Tovar is now slashing .285/.312/.487 with 37 extra-base hits and 40 runs scored through 75 games this season.
Jun 17 2024Tovar went 0-for-4 Sunday against the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tovar went hitless for the first time in his last eight starts, and in that span, he hit .393 with three home runs, 10 RBI and six runs scored.

Jun 8 2024Tovar went 4-for-4 with two home runs and four total RBI in Saturday's 6-5 win against St. Louis. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tovar kicked off the scoring in the first inning with an RBI single to left field. That was just the beginning of a massive performance by the young shortstop -- he added a solo homer in the sixth and a tiebreaking two-run shot in the seventh. The four-hit game was Tovar's second of the campaign, and he finished with his second multi-homer performance of the season. Tovar is somewhat quietly enjoying a breakout 2024, slashing .294/.326/.487 with 10 homers, 28 RBI, 34 runs and four stolen bases through 282 plate appearances.
May 31 2024Tovar went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 4-1 win over the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tovar was the only Rockie with multiple hits in the contest. This was his 10th multi-hit effort over his last 16 games, a span in which he's batting .356 (26-for-73) with four homers, nine RBI, 14 runs scored and one stolen base. The shortstop is up to a .294/.328/.481 slash line with eight homers, 24 RBI, 30 runs scored, four steals, 17 doubles and a triple over 55 contests this season. He still hits far better at home (.862 OPS), but he's been passable on the road this season as well with a .757 OPS away from Coors Field.
May 24 2024Tovar went 4-for-6 with a double and two RBI in Friday's victory over Philadelphia. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tovar had a career night against the Phillies, collecting his first ever four-hit game and driving home the winning run in extras. The Colorado shortstop has been hot over his last 10 games, batting .347 (17-for-49) with three homers, eight runs scored and eight RBI. Overall, Tovar sports a .285/.317/.473 slash line in 221 plate appearances this season.
May 22 2024Tovar went 2-for-5 with two solo home runs in Tuesday's loss to the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tovar put together his first career multi-homer game with solo blasts in the fifth and seventh innings to bring his total up to seven for the season. He's been locked in at the plate for most of May, registering at least a hit in 12 of his last 13 games with six of those being multi-hit efforts. Tovar has entrenched himself in the No. 2 spot in the batting order against righties and has seen himself hitting leadoff against lefties. He's now second on the team with 53 hits and tied for second with 21 RBI. For the year, the 22-year-old is slashing .279/.313/.468 with 21 extra-base hits, 22 runs scored and an 8:60 BB:K in 204 plate appearances.
May 18 2024Tovar went 2-for-5 with a run scored and an RBI on Saturday against the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tovar took over as Colorado's leadoff hitter with a lefty on the mound and did his damage in the third inning with an RBI single before coming around to score in the same frame. He has at least one hit in each of his last 11 games, during which he's gone 17-for-49 with two home runs, seven runs scored and seven RBI.
May 15 2024Tovar went 2-for-5 with a solo homer, a double and two runs scored in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tovar doubled to lead off a five-run sixth for the Rockies and then homered to kick off the seventh. He continued his recent hot streak at the plate and now has at least a hit in eight straight games, slashing .343/.361/.686 with two homers, five RBI and five runs scored over that span. The 31.1 strikeout rate is a bit alarming, but Tovar continues to hit toward the top of the lineup and is still making solid contact with a .275 average over 180 plate appearances thus far.
May 12 2024Tovar went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Rockies got to Jose Urena early in the first inning, and Tovar's blast was ultimately all they needed in the win. The shortstop has hit safely in six straight games, going 8-for-26 (.308) with four extra-base hits in that span. For the season, he's at a .266/.308/.411 with four homers, 15 RBI, 16 runs scored, three stolen bases, nine doubles and a triple over 39 contests.
May 10 2024Tovar went 3-for-5 with a double, a triple, an RBI and a run scored Thursday against the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tovar has been struggling to hit for power across the last few weeks, as he had only three extra-base hits (all doubles) across his last 21 starts entering Thursday's game. He managed to end that drought against the Giants, as he tallied both a double and a triple in the fourth inning when the Rockies batted around. For the season, Tovar has a decent .714 OPS, though that's come with a relatively empty three homers and three stolen bases.
May 5 2024Tovar is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tovar will take a seat for the first time all season after starting in each of Colorado's first 33 games, enabling Alan Trejo to enter the lineup at shortstop. The Rockies are likely hoping that a day on the bench will be helpful for Tovar as he looks to break out of his recent funk at the plate; over his last nine games, he's slashing .128/.171/.154 with a 39 percent strikeout rate.
Apr 21 2024Tovar went 3-for-5 with an RBI in Colorado's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Mariners in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tovar notched the Rockies' first hit of the game in the bottom of the first inning before later adding two more base knocks, including an RBI single in the bottom of the 10th frame, knotting the game up at 1-1. The 22-year-old has now notched two three-hit performances over the last three contests, while Sunday's matinee was his eighth multi-hit outcome on the year. Tovar is batting .321 with three homers, 11 RBI, nine runs scored and two stolen bases over 81 at-bats in 21 games this season.
