Rockies' Cole Carrigg: Won't break camp with Colorado
Rotowire
The Rockies reassigned Carrigg to minor-league camp Thursday.
Carrigg wasn't expected to seriously contend for a big-league roster spot this spring, though he has impressed during the exhibition slate with a .387/.394/.645 slash line, four doubles, two triples, six RBI and a stolen base over 13 contests. He'll likely open the season at Triple-A, but Carrigg could make his MLB debut at some point during the campaign.

Rockies' Cole Carrigg: Lands spring training invite
Rotowire
The Rockies extended Carrigg a non-roster invite to spring training, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.
Carigg slashed just .237/.317/.395 with Double-A Hartford in 2025 but was able to notch a .754 OPS to close out the last 24 games of the season. The center fielder showed off his glove throughout the season and also recorded 46 stolen bases to show his running ability. The 23-year-old is likely to open the season at Triple-A Albuquerque but could make his MLB debut at some point in 2026.

Rockies' Cole Carrigg: Active at Double-A
Rotowire
Carrigg is hitting .270 with one home run, three steals and seven strikeouts in nine games since returning from a suspension at Double-A Hartford.
A conflict with an umpire led to Carrigg missing a few games earlier this month, but he's still played a career-high 123 games this season. Carrigg's strikeout rate jumped from 19 percent last year at High-A to 27 percent this year at Double-A, but he still showed an intriguing combination of power (15 homers) and speed (46 steals).

Rockies' Cole Carrigg: Suspended at Double-A
Rotowire
Carrigg was suspended on Sept. 2 at Double-A Hartford after getting ejected from an Aug. 31 game against Portland.
Carrigg slammed his helmet after getting called out on an attempted steal of third base and was ejected and then made a scene in between innings arguing with the umpire who ejected him. It's unclear how many games he will miss, but Hartford's season wraps up Sept. 14. Carrigg's hit tool looked stronger a year ago, as his strikeout rate jumped from 19 percent at High-A to 27.8 percent at Double-A while his batting average dipped from .280 to .234. He is an excellent athlete and has logged 40-plus steals in back-to-back seasons while showcasing average pull-side power. A 107 wRC+ is a middling mark for a 23-year-old at Double-A, but if Carrigg can find his way into a regular role for the Rockies in a year or two, his speed will make him valuable in fantasy, at least in his home games.
