Rockies' Cole Carrigg: Goes yard in loss
Rotowire
Carrigg went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 11-2 loss to the Brewers.
Jacob Misiorowski was perfect for 4.2 innings before Carrigg's solo shot. The long ball ended a 15-game homer drought for Carrigg, who still hit .280 with six doubles and six RBI in that span. The outfielder is batting .287 with an .879 OPS, five homers, 26 RBI, 30 runs scored, nine doubles, three triples and three stolen bases over his first 39 games in the majors. As expected, there hasn't been much power in Carrigg's bat, but he could still make some gains with speed, and he's maintained a good eye at the plate.

The early returns on the rookie have been positive, as he has gone 7-for-27 (.259) with three homers, a triple, eight RBI, six runs and three walks through seven games. Carrigg has yet to attempt a steal, though he's known for his activity on the basepaths after swiping 29 bags in 57 games with Triple-A Albuquerque prior to being promoted.

Rockies' Cole Carrigg: Strokes triple in MLB debut
Rotowire
Carrigg went 1-for-3 with a triple and a walk in Tuesday's 7-3 win against the Cubs.
Carrigg was called up from Triple-A on Tuesday and started in center field while batting seventh. The 24-year-old flashed his speed in his big-league debut when he legged out a triple on a ball he hit down the right-field line. Carrigg could earn himself an everyday role if he hits well immediately, especially given that outfielders Jordan Beck (hamstring), Mickey Moniak (ankle), Brenton Doyle (oblique) and Tyler Freeman (concussion) are all currently on the injured list.

Rockies' Cole Carrigg: Called up to majors
Rotowire
The Rockies selected Carrigg's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.
Carrigg earned his first big-league promotion after slashing .338/.414/.529 with six home runs, 30 stolen bases and a 27:39 BB:K over 57 games with Albuquerque. Those numbers are inflated by his home park and the friendly offensive environment of the Pacific Coast League, but Carrigg has real fantasy upside with some pop and plenty of speed. The 24-year-old is worthy of being picked up in fantasy leagues in hopes that the Rockies put him in the lineup regularly.

Rockies' Cole Carrigg: Won't break camp with Colorado

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: 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.
