Beck

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.

Beck will get a night off with Troy Johnston getting the start in right field and hitting sixth. So far, Beck has hit just .182 with a .580 OPS over his 13 plate apperances.

Beck drove in all three runs for the Rockies on a bases-clearing double in the first inning. Colorado would score no more runs, and they fall to 0-3 on the season. Beck did drive in four runs over the weekend, and there’s some long-term upside in his bat.

Beck, who went 1-for-3 with an RBI and was also caught stealing during Thursday’s opener, takes a seat with Troy Johnston getting an opportunity to face his former club. This doesn’t appear to be a matchup-related decision, but it’s possible Beck will be in more of a timeshare than originally envisioned as Colorado tries to work a couple new faces into their early-season mix.
