Zach

Agnos

Agnos was pressed into extended action when Ryan Feltner was scratched due to illness before the game and filled in admirably, getting the first eight outs for the Rockies. On the season, the 26-year-old hurler holds a troublesome 5.49 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and a 52/27 K/BB ratio over 78 2/3 innings in his 35 appearances (three starts).

Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer told reporters Feltner got sick overnight but they’re hoping he’ll be available to pitch in relief. It’ll be Zach Agnos kicking off a bullpen game for the Rockies instead. The 29-year-old righty holds a lackluster 6.08 ERA across 97 2/3 innings of work this season.

Agnos opened the game, tossing the first three innings against the Brewers. He gave up a solo homer to Brice Turang in the first inning, then another solo shot to David Hamilton in the second. Agnos would pitch a scoreless third before handing it over to Blas Castaño, who gave the Rockies 2 2/3 scoreless with a pair of strikeouts. Agnos will likely open once again in a start against the Athletics at Las Vegas Stadium on Friday.

Agnos was just optioned out on Monday, but he’ll get a chance to return with Tanner Gordon (hip) landing on the injured list. Agnos has posted a troublesome 7.78 ERA and 1.57 WHIP across 37 innings as a long reliever for the Rockies this season.

Agnos heads back to the minors after posting a disastrous 7.78 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 27/13 K/BB ratio across 37 innings this season as a long reliever. He was torched for seven earned runs in each of his last two appearances after tossing five shutout frames against the Diamondbacks on May 22.

That’s the first time Agnos has ever thrown five innings in an MLB game. It was set to be a bullpen game after the Rockies pushed Tomoyuki Sugano to Friday, but Agnos was so effective it just became a regular start. He allowed only one hit, struck out four and issued a single free pass while throwing 71 pitches before exiting. Agnos could work as a multi-inning opener again next week, but nothing is scheduled, and fantasy managers shouldn’t expect similar results if he does.

It looks like the Rockies want their starters to have an extra day off this week. Zach Agnos will start against the D-backs in a bullpen game on Thursday.

Agnos holds a lackluster 5.59 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 20/10 K/BB ratio across 29 innings over 13 appearances for the Rockies this season. He’ll operate in low-leverage spots.

Agnos has had a rough time in 13 appearances for the Rockies this season, registering a 5.59 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and a 20/10 K/BB ratio over 29 innings of work. Blas Castano was recalled from Triple-A to take his spot in the Rockies’ bullpen.

Viktor Vodnik got the save in the first game of the twin billing and threw 15 pitches, so he wasn’t an option. The Rockies turned to Agnos instead, and while he did allow a double to MJ Melendez, he kept Melendez from advancing while picking up his second save of 2026. Vodnik remains the closer here, and Agnos wouldn’t necessarily be next in line if something were to change that.
