Rockies option Sterlin Thompson to Triple-A

Sterlin Thompson

COL Left Fielder #30

Player Stats

Rockies optioned OF Sterlin Thompson to Triple-A Albuquerque.

Thompson retreats to the minors with Mickey Moniak returning from the injured list. The 24-year-old rookie has hit .232 (16-for-69) with two homers and 10 RBI in 27 games for the Rockies this season. He projects as more of a reserve outfielder than an everyday option at the highest level.

Hunter Goodman

COL Catcher #15

Hunter Goodman is on the bench for Sunday’s series finale against the Pirates.

It’s presumably a routine day off for Goodman after starting 23 consecutive games between catcher and DH since May 25. The 26-year-old slugging backstop has homered a whopping 10 times during that span. It’ll be Brett Sullivan behind the dish with rookie Sterlin Thompson at DH on Sunday afternoon.
Sterlin Thompson

COL Right Fielder #30

Sterlin Thompson went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs and a double on Wednesday against the Cubs.

Thompson did his best to drag his club back into a game that they trailed 7-0 after two innings. His two solo home runs brought home their first two runs of the game and eventually, they pushed this to just a two run deficit before finally falling short. Those were his first two homers of the season as he continues to jostle for playing time in the Rockies’ outfield.
Jake McCarthy

COL Center Fielder #31

Jake McCarthy (illness) is not in the Rockies’ starting lineup for Sunday’s ballgame against the Athletics.

It could just be in part because the Rockies are facing a left-hander in Jeffrey Springs, but it’s the fifth consecutive game that McCarthy has missed due to illness. Sterlin Thompson will once again start in his place in left field and bat ninth for the Rockies on Sunday afternoon in West Sacramento.
Jake McCarthy

COL Center Fielder #31

Jake McCarthy (illness) was held out of the Rockies’ starting lineup for the third consecutive game on Friday.

McCarthy was scratched from Wednesday’s lineup due to illness and still isn’t well enough to return to action. Sterlin Thompson will once again start in his place in left field and will bat eighth for the Rockies on Friday evening against Gage Jump and the Athletics.
Jake McCarthy

COL Center Fielder #31

Jake McCarthy (illness) remains out of Colorado’s lineup on Thursday.

It’s cost him two days now. Sterlin Thompson is starting in left field against RHP Edward Cabrera and the Cubs in McCarthy’s place today.
Sterlin Thompson

COL Right Fielder #30

Rockies recalled OF Sterlin Thompson from Triple-A Albuquerque.

With Mickey Moniak (ankle) heading to the injured list, Thompson will have another opportunity to show what he can do at the big league level. The 24-year-old outfielder went 1-for-8 in his limited action with the Rockies during a brief stay with the Rockies last week.
Sterlin Thompson

COL Left Fielder #30

Rockies optioned OF Sterlin Thompson to Triple-A Albuquerque.

Thompson went 1-for-8 at the dish across three games during his first call-up with the Rockies. The 24-year-old outfielder has put up some big-time numbers in the upper minors and figures to receive a more extended look in Colorado at some point later this season.
Sterlin Thompson

COL Left Fielder #30

Sterlin Thompson is in right field and hitting seventh on Saturday against the Diamondbacks.

Thompson will make his first start after coming off the bench during Friday’s series opener. The 24-year-old outfielder earned his first shot with the Rockies after hitting .344/.491/.496 with four homers and eight steals in 161 plate appearances over 36 games at Triple-A this season. He’s an interesting prospect but Colorado has a ton of corner outfielder options that he could be limited to a short-side platoon role initially, which limits his fantasy appeal to NL-only formats.
Sterlin Thompson

COL Left Fielder #30

Rockies recalled OF Sterlin Thompson from Triple-A Albuquerque.

The 24-year-old outfielder was off to an outstanding start at the Triple-A level, slashing .344/.491/.496 with four homers, 27 RBI, eight stolen bases and a 28/30 K/BB ratio across 161 plate appearances. He’s unlikely to see enough action with the Rockies to warrant any mixed league consideration.
Carson Palmquist

COL Relief Pitcher #45

Rockies optioned LHPs Carson Palmquist, Luis Peralta and Welinton Herrera, RHP Gabriel Hughes and OF Sterlin Thompson to Triple-A Albuquerque.

Palmquist, 25, appeared in nine games for the Rockies in 2025 where he compiled an uninspiring 8.91 ERA and 2.04 WHIP across 34 1/3 innings. Given the Rockies’ overall lack of pitching depth, he’ll probably get another shot at the big league level at some point during the 2026 season.

Hunter Goodman (thumb) returned to the Rockies’ starting lineup for Friday’s series opener against the Mariners.

Goodman missed each of the past three games due to soreness in his right thumb. He’s back behind the dish for the Rockies and batting cleanup against Mariners’ right-hander Bryan Woo. The 26-year-old slugger is just two home runs shy of eclipsing the 40-homer plateau for the first time in his career.

Joc Pederson (hand) is not in the Rangers’ starting lineup for Friday’s series opener against the Blue Jays.

It’s the fifth straight game that Pederson has missed due to a small fracture in his left hand. The Rangers remain hopeful that he’ll be able to avoid a trip to the injured list, but time is running out. Josh Jung will function as the team’s designated hitter in his absence on Friday.

Dillon Dingler is not in the Tigers’ starting lineup for Friday’s battle against the White Sox.

Dingler has shouldered a heavy load for the Tigers this season and his offensive production has suffered down the stretch because of it, so giving him a few days off down the stretch seems prudent. Eduardo Valencia will start in his place behind the dish and will bat eighth against White Sox’ right-hander David Sandlin on Friday evening in Chicago.

Twins recalled OF Alan Roden from Triple-A St. Paul.

Roden has appeared in 28 games for the Twins this season, slashing an underwhelming .254/.333/.313 with zero homers, 10 RBI and an 11/9 K/BB ratio in 79 plate appearances. He’ll add outfield depth over the final 10 days of the season with Trevor Larnach (wrist) landing on the injured list on Friday.

Twins placed OF Trevor Larnach on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to September 15, with a left wrist sprain.

Larnach went for an MRI on the wrist earlier in the week, the results of which are not yet known. While it’s not a certainty just yet, it’s likely that this will end Larnach’s season. Alan Roden was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move to take his place on the Twins’ active roster.

Blue Jays selected the contract of RHP José Rodríguez from Triple-A Buffalo.

It’s the first trip to the big leagues for the 25-year-old hurler who joined the Blue Jays in a minor league swap with the Dodgers at the trade deadline. Rodríguez has posted a 3.79 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and a 51/23 K/BB ratio over 38 innings at the Triple-A level this season. He’ll add a fresh arm to the Jays’ bullpen for the weekend.

Blue Jays designated RHP Michael Lorenzen for assignment.

The 34-year-old hurler made just six appearances with the Jays, posting a horrifying 8.49 ERA, 1.97 WHIP and an 8/5 K/BB ratio across 11 2/3 innings. He’s likely to clear waivers where he’ll probably elect free agency and be able to peddle his wares on the open market once again.

Mets recalled INF Ronny Mauricio from Triple-A Syracuse.

With Jared Young (concussion) landing on the injured list on Friday, Mauricio will have another opportunity to show the Mets what he can do at the MLB level.

Mets placed 1B Jared Young on the 7-day concussion injured list.

Young is expected to miss the remainder of the season after suffering a concussion in a nasty collision with teammate Nolan McLean on Thursday night. Mets’ manager Andy Green told reporters on Friday that Young is doing “as good as expected or could be hoped for” and that while he’s dealing with bad headaches and short-term memory loss, the overall prognosis looks hopeful.
