Veen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.
The Rockies will keep the left-handed-hitting Veen on the bench for the second time in the series while the Guardians send another lefty (Foster Griffin) to the bump. Jordan Beck will draw the start in right field in place of Veen.

Rockies' Zac Veen: Taking seat versus lefty
Rotowire
Veen is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers.
The lefty-swinging Veen has started all four games versus righties and has now sat out both contests against lefties since being promoted, so he's being used in a strict long-side platoon role. Jordan Beck will cover right field for the Rockies.

Rockies' Zac Veen: Clubs homer Friday
Rotowire
Veen went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Friday's 5-2 win over the Giants.
Veen has homered in both of his games in the majors this season, and they've both come on the road. The outfielder looks poised to fill a strong-side platoon role in right field alongside Jordan Beck, at least for the time being. Veen batted .327 and slugged .635 over 100 games with Triple-A Albuquerque this year prior to his call-up, and his favorable home park in the majors could allow him to maintain fantasy utility if he plays regularly down the stretch.

Rockies' Zac Veen: Called up to Colorado
Rotowire
The Rockies recalled Veen from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.
Veen will join the big club for the first time in 2026 after he logged 37 plate appearances with the Rockies last season. The 24-year-old has been productive at Albuquerque in 2026, slashing .327/.402/.635 with 24 home runs and 19 stolen bases across 445 plate appearances. The Rockies designated Edouard Julien for assignment to make room on the active roster for Veen, who could be a candidate to fill the strong side of a platoon in the corner outfield.
Rockies' Zac Veen: Reinstated, optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Rockies reinstated Veen (knee) from the injured list Saturday and optioned him to Triple-A Albuquerque.
A bruised knee prevented Veen from playing during the second half of the Cactus League, but he was cleared to begin playing in rehab games Wednesday and has since gone 1-for-11 with five strikeouts. Although he's now fully healthy, the Rockies will keep him in the minors a bit longer and give him a chance to get back on track at the plate before he receives another look in the bigs.

Rockies' Zac Veen: Starts rehab assignment
Rotowire
Veen (knee) went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in his first rehab game with Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.
Veen served as the designated hitter for the Isotopes in what was his first game action in three weeks as he works his way back from a right knee contusion. The 24-year-old created some buzz early in spring training with his new physique and a couple home runs before the knee issue sidetracked him. Veen is likely to remain at Albuquerque once his rehab assignment is over, but he could push for a role with the Rockies at some point this season.

Rockies' Zac Veen: Lands on injured list
Rotowire
The Rockies placed Veen (knee) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.
Veen suffered a knee contusion in early March and was sidelined for the closing stretch of spring training, so it's not a major surprise he won't be available to begin the season. The 24-year-old made his MLB debut and batted .118 in 37 plate appearances last year, and he could be headed back to Triple-A Albuquerque once healthy.

Rockies' Zac Veen: Sitting with bruised knee
Rotowire
Veen has been sidelined since March 9 due to a right knee contusion.
Veen injured himself sliding while trying to make a catch in the outfield. He had been slashing .250/.375/.550 with a pair of homers and four RBI through 24 plate appearances in the Cactus League, but his extended absence could be a sign that he won't be available for Opening Day.
