Rockies News
The Colorado Rockies, sitting at 48-73, are in dire need of a boost as they face the San Francisco Giants in a crucial series, trailing them by two games in the NL West. Rookie Zac Veen's return has generated some excitement after his impressive minor league performance, but the absence of Hunter Goodman due to shoulder inflammation stings. Goodman's All-Star credentials make his recovery vital for a team that has struggled to score, averaging just 3.3 runs per game over the past week. With a -12 run differential during that span, the Rockies' bats must wake up if they hope to salvage any momentum in the season's final stretch. Manager Warren Schaeffer's lineup decisions will be under scrutiny as the Rockies look to find their footing against a Giants team they need to overtake.
