Dick Monfort is one of the leading figures on the owner's side in labor negotiations with the MLB Players Association. The 71-year-old pointed out that he'll have more work to do on that end with the collective bargaining agreement expiring a little over a year from now. "I have a lot more responsibility with the league over the next year, so I have to allocate time there. Plus, I'm getting older," he told reporters (including Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post).

The Rockies placed Dugan Darnell on the 15-day injured list on August 22 and then moved him to the 60-day IL two days later, officially ending the right-hander's first Major League season. Darnell was initially sidelined due to left hip inflammation, but he told the Denver Post's Patrick Saunders and other reporters that tests revealed a torn left hip labrum, and surgery will be required.

Sean Bouchard has been designated for assignment by the Rockies, creating a spot on the roster for veteran reliever Nick Anderson after promotion from Triple-A.

Pfaadt has had a harder time getting swings and misses with his fastball this year; the whiff rate on the pitch has dropped from 22.4 percent in 2024 to 14.9 percent this year.

The Atlanta Braves are left with a bittersweet feeling after winning two straight series, falling short of a possible sweep against a struggling Rockies team.

The Yankees' loss to Colorado served as a cautionary tale, showing that facing weaker opponents requires the same level of focus and determination as stronger teams.
