Jordan

Beck

Mickey Moniak and Jordan Beck are in the outfield corners with Cole Carrigg in center field. Veen has started just nine times in 17 games since being called up earlier this month, hitting .250 (7-for-28) with two homers, seven RBI and one steal. The 24-year-old prospect figures to continue sitting against left-handed starters, but he should do enough damage against right-handers to be useful in deeper fantasy leagues, especially when the Rockies are at home.

No surprise here with lefty Blake Snell toeing the rubber for Los Angeles. It’ll be Jordan Beck in right field. The left-handed power-hitting prospect figures to sit against most southpaws for the final six weeks of the season, but should receive plenty of opportunities to mash against righties. The 24-year-old has gone deep twice in four games since returning to the big leagues last week. He’s at least worthy of a speculative roster spot in all formats based on his talent, path to regular at-bats and extremely favorable home ballpark.

Beck returns to Colorado for the first time since hitting the injured list with a hamstring strain back in mid-May. The 25-year-old was hitting just .183/.227/.305 with one homer, 10 RBI and two steals in 88 plate appearances over 30 games prior to the injury. The talent is undeniable, but he hasn’t been a fantasy-relevant option this season.

Beck had already been stationed at Triple-A Albuquerque for the past week while on a minor league rehab assignment, and now he’ll stay there in an everyday role as he continues to try to regain his 2025 form. Beck has hit just .183/.227/.305 with one home run, 10 RBI and a pair of stolen bases in 88 plate appearances with the Rockies this season.

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.

No word yet regarding the severity or how much time Beck will miss. The 25-year-old outfielder has been a colossal disappointment this season, hitting .183/.227/.305 with one homer, 10 RBI and two steals in 88 plate appearances over 30 games. The most alarming part is that he’s striking out less than ever before, but his quality of contact and underlying batted ball metrics have been utterly abysmal this season.

Castro has missed the last four games with a knee injury, but he’ll be back in the lineup at second base and hitting fifth on Wednesday. Since a left-hander pitcher is on the mound, Edouard Julien will shift to the bench, as will Troy Johnston and Jake McCarthy, with Jordan Beck and Brenton Doyle in the lineup and batting first and second, respectively.

Moniak takes a seat with lefty Justin Wrobleski toeing the rubber for Los Angeles during Monday’s series opener at Coors Field. Jordan Beck takes over in left field with Tyler Freeman in the opposite corner. The 27-year-old outfielder is up to six round-trippers through 16 games after belting a career-high 24 over 135 games in his Rockies debut last year. He’s unexpectedly morphed into a potent power hitter after arriving in the big leagues a half-decade ago with almost zero over-the-fence pop.

We aren’t quite sure what Beck did to Rockies’ new skipper Warren Schaefer, but he has found himself in the starting lineup in just seven of the team’s first 14 ballgames now. The fact that he’s hitting .080 (2-for-25) obviously doesn’t help, but it’s hard to get into a rhythm at the plate when you’re seeing sporadic at-bats. Tyler Freeman will start in right field and bat second for the Rockies against Padres’ right-hander Walker Buehler on Friday evening.

It was expected that Freeman would start the season as a short-side platoon with either Jordan Beck or Mickey Moniak. Now, Moniak (finger) is also on the injured list, so there is a chance that Freeman could push Beck for playing time in the outfield or perhaps hit well enough to push Edouard Julien out of the DH spot.
