Rockies activate Brenton Doyle from 10-day IL

Doyle is now officially a member of the White Sox, who do happen to have an All-Star in center field in Tristan Peters. It remains to be seen what type of role Doyle will have, but there’s a chance he’s just a weak-side platoon, and a defensive replacement.

Doyle was just activated from the 10-day injured list on Friday and went 2-for-7 with a double, a run, and an RBI in two games. The 28-year-old has struggled with injuries this season, but he looked great on his rehab assignment and slashed .260/.317/.446 in 149 games in 2024 with 23 home runs and 30 steals while playing elite defense in center field. His value obviously takes a hit outside of Coors Field, but if he is the regular center fielder in a good White Sox lineup, he will retain some deep league value. Mason Adams is a 26-year-old starting pitcher in Triple-A who has yet to make his MLB debut, and Vielma is a 16-year-old shortstop in the Dominican Summer League.

Doyle is now 14-for-38 (.368) across 10 games in Triple-A with one home run, five RBI, and one steal. He also played this entire game in center field. There is a chance that the 28-year-old could be back in Colorado by this weekend.

Doyle had begun a rehab assignment earlier in the month after recovering from an oblique injury. However, he suffered a groin injury that delayed that rehab. He was back in the lineup on Thursday but just used as a DH, so he will still need to play the field for a full nine innings before we can even begin to think about him being activated. The Rockies will also likely need to clear up their outfield logjam at the trade deadline.

Doyle was originally sent on rehab assignment for his oblique injury around this time last month, but had to be shut down after a new groin injury popped up. It looks like he may have a chance of being activated towards the end of next week if things go well with the Isotopes this time.

Doyle missed a couple rehab games earlier this week due to left groin tightness. He appears to be feeling better since he was back at DH on Friday night. The 28-year-old center fielder has been out with an oblique contusion since late May. He should be ready to return to Colorado’s lineup at some point later next week.

Doyle has been on the shelf since late May recovering from an oblique issue while Beck hit the injured list with a left hamstring strain back in mid-May. The pair, who have been complete non-factors from a fantasy perspective this season, figure to make it back to Colorado’s crowded outfield mix by the end of June.

Doyle suffered the injury while attempting to make a diving play in center field during Tuesday’s contest against the Rangers. They attempted to take it day-to-day, but since he wasn’t improving quickly enough it made sense to sit him down for a bit and make sure that he heals properly. Chad Stevens was promoted from Triple-A Albuquerque to take his place on the Rockies’ active roster.

Doyle is day-to-day with a left side contusion that he suffered during Tuesday’s contest while attempting to make a diving play in center field. It doesn’t sound like a potential injured list situation.

Doyle appeared to be shaken up after diving to attempt to take a double away from Ezequiel Duran in the first inning. He was replaced by Tyler Freeman with Jake McCarthy moving over the center field. There should be an update on his status following the game.
