Karros went 1-for-2 with a solo home run Saturday against the Giants.
Karros was not in the starting lineup, but he pinch-hit for Sterlin Thompson in the seventh inning and went yard for his third home run of the season, and second in his last four games. Karros has struggled to a .208 batting average across 185 plate appearances, and his playing time has started to slip over the last three weeks.

Rockies' Kyle Karros: Adds late homer
Rotowire
Karros went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 15-6 loss to the Dodgers.
Karros' homer came off position player Miguel Rojas in the ninth inning. They all count the same in the box score, and for Karros, this long ball ended a stretch of 29 contests without a homer and eight games without an extra-base hit. The third baseman is batting .208 with a .603 OPS, two homers, 14 RBI, 19 runs scored, seven doubles and two stolen bases over 52 games. That production is mostly similar to what he showed in his first 43 big-league contests last year.

Rockies' Kyle Karros: Spectating with righty on mound
Rotowire
Karros is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.
Karros will hit the bench for the second time in the series, with both of his absences coming against right-handed starting pitchers. Willi Castro will step in at third base in place of Karros, who has a modest four-game hitting streak going but has cobbled together an underwhelming .213/.339/.277 slash line over 115 plate appearances on the season.

Rockies' Kyle Karros: Hits first homer of season
Rotowire
Karros went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Sunday's 9-6 win over the Dodgers.
Karros blasted his first homer of 2026, turning on a Roki Sasaki fastball and sending it 448 feet into the left-field bleachers in the fifth inning. In addition to being his first long ball, it marked the third baseman's first extra-base hit since March 29, when he doubled against the Marlins. With just a .633 OPS through 22 games, Karros will look to build on this performance and find his stride at the plate.

Rockies' Kyle Karros: Earns roster spot
Rotowire
Karros will begin the 2026 season on the big-league roster, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Karros was the favorite to claim the third-base job coming into spring training, and his performance during the exhibition season aligned with those expectations. He collected 15 hits -- four of which went for extra bases -- and struck out only nine times in 41 plate appearances. Karros will presumably draw the majority of starts at third base to begin the season, though his role hasn't been defined.

Rockies' Kyle Karros: Receiving first day off
Rotowire
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.

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: 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.

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.
