Rockies' Bradley Blalock: Surrenders five runs in loss
Rotowire
Blalock (2-6) allowed five runs on six hits and two walks while striking out one over 3.2 innings to take the loss Thursday versus the Mariners.
Blalock gave up at least five runs in each of his last six appearances over a pair of stints in the majors. He ends the regular season with a 9.36 ERA, 1.84 WHIP and 27:23 K:BB through 58.2 innings over 14 appearances (12 starts) in the majors. As long as he's pitching for the Rockies, he's unlikely to put up serviceable numbers for fantasy managers.

Rockies' Bradley Blalock: Escapes with second win
Rotowire
Blalock (2-5) picked up the win Friday against the Angels, allowing six runs on eight hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out four.
Blalock was hit hard once again, serving up multiple home runs in his third straight start. The right-hander hasn't been able to overcome hitter-friendly Coors Field in 2025, limping to a 12.27 ERA, 2.18 WHIP and 9:14 K:BB across 29.1 innings at home. His last appearance of the season is set to come at pitcher-friendly T-Mobile Park against the Mariners, though Blalock's 5.61 ERA and 1.40 WHIP over 25.2 innings on the road don't exactly offer much reason for optimism.

Rockies' Bradley Blalock: Unimpressive in loss
Rotowire
Blalock (1-5) allowed five runs on five hits and two walks without recording a strikeout over three innings to take the loss versus the Padres on Saturday.
Blalock continues to look outmatched at the major-league level, but he may get a chance to stay with the big club while Chase Dollander (knee) is on the injured list. Blalock had gone nearly a month between appearances in the majors, but he's now allowed at least five runs in each of his last four outings. He's at a 9.00 ERA, 1.82 WHIP and 22:20 K:BB through 50 innings over 12 appearances (10 starts) for the Rockies this year. He is tentatively projected for a home start versus the Angels next week.

Rockies' Bradley Blalock: Recalled ahead of start
Rotowire
The Rockies recalled Blalock from Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday.
The 24-year-old righty will fill the open spot in Colorado's rotation created by Chase Dollander's (knee) move to the IL. Blalock has accumulated an 8.62 ERA and 1.79 WHIP through 47 MLB innings this season and will face a Padres offense that put up 12 runs against him on May 10, so fantasy managers searching for streaming options are likely better off looking elsewhere.

Rockies' Bradley Blalock: Drawing start Saturday
Rotowire
The Rockies will recall Blalock from Triple-A Albuquerque to start Saturday's game against the Padres in San Diego, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Blalock owns an unsightly 8.62 ERA and 1.79 WHIP through 47 innings with the Rockies this season and hasn't been much better in Triple-A, accumulating a 9.37 ERA in 16.1 frames since being optioned to Albuquerque in mid-August. Despite his poor numbers, he'll come up from the minors to fill the opening in Colorado's rotation left by Chase Dollander's (knee) impending move to the injured list. Blalock will be welcomed back to the big leagues by a Padres squad who torched him for 12 runs in just 3.2 innings back on May 10.
The Rockies optioned Blalock to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
Blalock surrendered 19 earned runs -- including five long balls -- in his past three starts and will now make his way back to Triple-A. The right-hander has failed to impress across 47 major-league innings this season with an 8.62 ERA and 1.79 WHIP.

Rockies' Bradley Blalock: Lit up again Thursday
Rotowire
Blalock (1-4) allowed seven runs on six hits and four walks while failing to log a strikeout over 3.2 innings, taking the loss Thursday versus the Diamondbacks.
Home runs from Lourdes Gurriel and Jose Herrera accounted for five of the seven runs on Blalock's line. Those blasts came within the first two innings, and the right-hander ran into more trouble before he was pulled in the fourth. Blalock has given up 19 runs across his last 15 innings over three starts. The 24-year-old is at an 8.62 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 22:18 K:BB in 47 innings through 11 appearances (nine starts) this season. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at home against the Dodgers, who have been struggling lately but still pose a threat.

Rockies' Bradley Blalock: Struggles again Saturday
Rotowire
Blalock allowed five runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out four over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Saturday.
Blalock has given up 12 runs, including three home runs, over his last 10.1 innings. He's shown some flashes of quality during his time in the majors this season, but making half of his appearances at Coors Field hasn't helped his cause. The right-hander had posted a passable 3.00 ERA over 18 innings on the road prior to this poor outing in Arizona. Blalock is now at a 7.89 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 22:14 K:BB through 43.1 innings over 10 appearances (eight starts). He is tentatively projected to get a rematch at home with the Diamondbacks next week.

Rockies' Bradley Blalock: Roughed up during loss
Rotowire
Blalock (1-3) took the loss Sunday against the Pirates, allowing seven runs on six hits and four walks while striking out two over 5.2 innings.
Blalock struggled from the start, giving up a two-run homer to Tommy Pham in the first inning followed by another to Spencer Horwitz in the second. The 24-year-old was coming off his only quality start of the season but couldn't carry that momentum forward, as he allowed multiple home runs for the third time in his nine appearances in 2025. The right-hander now sports a 7.68 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 18:11 K:BB through 38.2 innings.

Rockies' Bradley Blalock: Goes six scoreless in no-decision
Rotowire
Blalock did not factor into the decision in Monday's 8-6 win over the Guardians, allowing six hits and no walks while striking out seven over six scoreless innings.
Blalock racked up a career-high seven strikeouts and didn't allow an extra-base hit, exiting with a 3-0 lead the Rockies' bullpen couldn't hold. The outing marked the 24-year-old's first career quality start, and he's now allowed just three earned runs over 17 innings since rejoining the majors July 12. He'll take a 7.09 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 16:7 K:BB across 33 frames into a home matchup with the Pirates this weekend.

Rockies' Bradley Blalock: Earns first win of season
Rotowire
Blalock (1-2) earned the win Tuesday, allowing two runs on eight hits and a walk over 5.1 innings against the Cardinals. He recorded no strikeouts.
Blalock was far from perfect Tuesday, allowing plenty of baserunners, but he managed to deliver a serviceable outing that helped the Rockies secure a win. The right-hander came in with rough numbers, posting a 9.97 ERA and 1.80 WHIP over 21.2 innings across six appearances (four starts) this season. His struggles stem largely from a lack of strikeouts (3.7 K/9) and an astronomical home-run rate (2.5 HR/9). While Tuesday's performance got the job done, Blalock remains far from fantasy relevance.

Rockies' Bradley Blalock: Remaining in rotation
Rotowire
Blalock is slated to start Tuesday's game against the Cardinals at Coors Field.
Called up from Triple-A Albuquerque earlier this month, Blalock ended up taking over the spot in the rotation that previously belonged to rookie Chase Dollander, who was optioned to the minors following a string of poor performances. Though he had posted a 12.94 ERA and 2.06 WHIP over his first five big-league appearances of the season, Blalock acquitted himself well in his start during the Rockies' final series before the All-Star break, holding the Reds to one earned run on six hits and no walks over 5.2 innings. The right-hander will be rewarded with another turn through the rotation, but he doesn't profile as a dependable streaming option, given his poor overall track record in the majors.

Rockies' Bradley Blalock: Solid in no-decision
Rotowire
Blalock did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing one run on six hits and zero walks over 5.2 innings against the Reds. He struck out one.
The right-hander gave up a run in the first inning on an Austin Hays sacrifice fly but settled in from there in his first appearance since being called back up to the majors Monday. It marked Blalock's first MLB start since May 10, an appearance in which he surrendered 12 runs over 3.2 innings against the Padres. For the season, he holds a 9.97 ERA and 1.80 WHIP across 21.2 innings in six appearances (four starts) at the big-league level.
Blalock is slated to start Saturday's game against the Reds at Great American Ball Park.
The Rockies called Blalock up from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday, but after going unused out of the bullpen in the team's ensuing four games, he'll now slot into the rotation spot vacated by Chase Dollander, who was optioned to the minors earlier this week. Over five appearances (three starts) with Colorado on the season, Blalock owns a 12.94 ERA and 2.06 WHIP in 16 innings. He won't make for a reliable streaming option Saturday against a Reds squad that tagged him for six runs over four innings back on April 27 at Coors Field.

Rockies' Bradley Blalock: Moves up to majors
Rotowire
The Rockies recalled Blalock from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.
Blalock will join the 26-man active roster as a replacement for right-hander Chase Dollander, who was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Though Dollander had been working out of the rotation, Blalock could be ticketed for a long-relief role with Colorado. The Rockies will close out their first-half schedule with six games this week, and an off day Thursday would allow the team to get by with a four-man rotation until the All-Star break. Blalock has previously made five appearances (three starts) for Colorado this season, posting a 12.94 ERA and 2.06 WHIP over 16 innings.

Rockies' Bradley Blalock: Demoted after brutal start
Rotowire
The Rockies optioned Blalock to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
Unsurprisingly, Blalock received a demotion after he was lit up for 12 earned runs on 13 hits and two walks over just 3.2 innings during Saturday's 21-0 loss to the Padres. The Rockies still have an opening in the rotation with Ryan Feltner (back) not ready to return from the injured list, and Triple-A righty Tanner Gordon could be the next man up as the fifth starter.

Rockies' Bradley Blalock: Bombarded by Padres
Rotowire
Blalock (0-2) took the loss against San Diego on Saturday, allowing 12 runs on 13 hits and two walks while striking out one batter over 3.2 innings.
Blalock fell behind quickly, giving up five runs in the first frame. Things didn't get much better for him the rest of the way, as the Padres added a run in each of the second and third innings before tacking on eight more -- five of which were charged to Blalock -- in the fourth. The right-hander was clobbered for five extra-base hits (three homers and two doubles) and saw his ERA rise from an already-awful 8.03 to a hideous 12.94. He was promoted back up to the majors to join Colorado's rotation when Ryan Feltner (back) landed on the injured list May 2, but Blalock may not be long for the big-league squad given his results so far.

Rockies' Bradley Blalock: Yields three runs in no-decision
Rotowire
Blalock did not factor into the decision in Saturday's game against the Giants, allowing three runs on two hits and two walks while striking out four over 5.1 innings.
Blalock registered only nine first-pitch strikes and six whiffs on 75 pitches (47 strikes), but he limited the Giants to one run through his first five innings. He was tagged for another run after being lifted in the sixth frame and was in line for the win, but that didn't come to fruition after Matt Chapman knocked a go-ahead grand slam off Jake Bird. Blalock could stick in the Rockies' rotation for as long as Ryan Feltner (back) is on the 15-day injured list, and the former is lined up to face the Padres at home next weekend.

Rockies' Bradley Blalock: Returning to majors
Rotowire
The Rockies recalled Blalock from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.
Blalock has appeared in three games (one start) for the Rockies this season, allowing eight runs on 12 hits and two walks while striking out three over seven innings. He was optioned to Triple-A on Monday, but he'll return to the majors to give the Rockies another arm in the rotation after Ryan Feltner (back) was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move.
