Karros went 2-for-4 with two runs scored Tuesday against the Astros.
Karros was briefly sidelined with a back injury but returned to the lineup Friday and has started four straight games since -- all of which have come on the road. He's gone 5-for-13 while hitting primarily in the bottom third of the lineup.
Karros (back) will start at third base and bat fifth in Friday's game versus the Pirates.
Karros was out of commission the previous two days while dealing with back tightness, but he's ready to go for Friday's series opener in Pittsburgh. The rookie infielder is off to a nice start in his first 12 big-league games, slashing .270/.386/.432 with one home run.

Rockies' Kyle Karros: Dealing with back tightness
Rotowire
Rockies interim manager Warren Schaeffer said that Karros is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers due to back tightness, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.
The injury doesn't appear to be severe and Karros should be considered day-to-day for the time being. He'll be available off the bench as an emergency option while Orlando Arcia starts at third base and bats eighth. Karros has gone 10-for-37 (.270 average) with one home run, five RBI and 10 runs in 12 games since being called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on Aug. 8.
Karros is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
For the first time since he was called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on Aug. 8, Karros will receive a day off. The 23-year-old has kicked off his big-league career in impressive fashion, slashing .290/.389/.387 with three doubles, a 5:6 BB:K, three RBI and seven runs in nine games. Orlando Arcia will cover third base Sunday in his stead.

Rockies' Kyle Karros: Scores three runs
Rotowire
Karros went 2-for-3 a double, a walk and three runs scored Wednesday against the Cardinals.
Karros made his sixth straight start since being called up Friday and has at least one hit in five of those contests, including two multi-hit performances. He contributed to two key rallies for Rockies on Wednesday, doubling to lead off the seventh inning and walking to lead off the final frame while coming around to score on both occasions. Karros doesn't have one standout tool, but he should be a source of decent counting stats and batting average.
Karros will start at third base and bat seventh in Monday's game in St. Louis.
After being called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday, Karros started at third base in all three games of the Rockies' weekend series in Arizona, going 4-for-11 with two doubles, two walks, three RBI and two runs. The 23-year-old will stick in the starting nine Monday and should have a chance to settle in as the Rockies' everyday option at the hot corner for the rest of the season if he can remain reasonably productive at the plate.

Rockies' Kyle Karros: Knocks in lone run in debut
Rotowire
Karros went 1-for-3 with a walk and one RBI in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Karros didn't have to wait long to check off a couple of milestones, supplying his first RBI on his first hit, a second-inning single. He'll presumably have plenty of chances to hold down a large share of playing time at third base while Orlando Arcia (elbow) is out. Karros has displayed a quality hit tool in the minors this year, slashing a combined .301/.398/.476 over 75 games between Double-A, Triple-A and a rehab assignment in rookie ball. He's also shown strong plate discipline with a 12.7 percent walk rate and an 18.5 percent strikeout rate, but the power is lacking. Karros has hit just six total homers in the minors this year after supplying a modest 15 long balls in 123 games with High-A Spokane in 2024.

Rockies' Kyle Karros: Selected from ABQ
Rotowire
The Rockies selected Karros' contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.
One of the top prospects in Colorado's farm system, Karros has slashed .306/.368/.500 with two homers, four RBI and nine runs scored through 68 plate appearances since being promoted to Triple-A in mid-July. The 23-year-old infielder will now join the major-league roster alongside Aaron Schunk to help make up for the loss of Orlando Arcia (elbow), and Karros will get the nod to make his MLB debut Friday while starting at third base.

Rockies' Kyle Karros: Moving up to Triple-A
Rotowire
Karros was promoted from Double-A Hartford to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.
The 22-year-old was named MVP of the Northwest League in 2024 after posting an .875 OPS with 15 homers and 12 steals in 123 games for Hartford, and he'll now make his way to the highest level of the minors. One of Colorado's top prospects, Karros has an .861 OPS at Double-A this year and has an outside shot of making his MLB debut before the end of 2025, assuming he continues to hit well at Triple-A.

Rotowire
Karros (undisclosed) has gone 3-for-15 with two RBI, four runs and one stolen base in six games since being activated from Double-A Hartford's 7-day injured list last Tuesday.
Karros is off to a slow start at the dish since returning from an unspecified injury, but he was firing on all cylinders prior to landing on the IL. The 22-year-old is hitting .312 with two home runs and five stolen bases in 28 games for Hartford on the season.

Rockies' Kyle Karros: Strong showing for Spokane
Rotowire
Karros slashed .311/.390/.485 with 15 home runs and 12 steals in 123 games for High-A Spokane.
Thirteen-year big-leaguer Eric Karros has two sons who are legitimate prospects in Kyle and Dodgers pitching prospect Jared Karros. Kyle, a third baseman dating back to his freshman year at UCLA, did a little bit of everything this year while taking advantage of the hitter-friendly environment at Spokane. Karros, a fifth-round pick in 2023 who commanded a $433,500 bonus, has the glove to be a big-league third baseman but it will be an uphill battle for him to prove he can do enough damage offensively to profile at the hot corner.
