The Colorado Rockies have activated outfielder
Brenton Doyle from the bereavement list. In a corresponding move, the Rockies designated outfielder
Zac Veen to Triple-A Albuquerque. Doyle has been held out of the starting nine since April 10 due to a quadriceps injury, before hitting the bereavement list. However, he did take one at-bat on April 16. Before his injury, Doyle was enjoying an impressive start to the campaign, holding a .321/.357/.547 slash line with three doubles and three home runs. Doyle has swiped one bag and held a 10:3 K:BB. Under the hood, the 26-year-old has generated an impressive .318 xBA with an elite .391 xwOBA, which suggests he should continue to enjoy similar production this summer. He will likely return to the starting nine this evening when they continue a series against the Royals.

Colorado Rockies outfielder
Brenton Doyle (personal), who revealed on Instagram that he and his wife lost their unborn baby, remains on the bereavement list and is out of the starting lineup on Tuesday against the hosting Kansas City Royals.
Mickey Moniak will continue to patrol center field for the Rockies while hitting seventh against Royals left-hander
Kris Bubic. It's unclear when the 26-year-old Doyle will return to the Rockies after such a tragic situation. When he does return, though, he should immediately be plugged into all starting fantasy lineups as Colorado's most valuable fantasy player. Before leaving the team for personal reasons, Doyle was hitting .315 (17-for-54) with three homers, 12 RBI and seven runs scored. Moniak is a hitter to ignore in DFS on Tuesday while going up against a tough left-handed pitcher that he has never faced.

The Colorado Rockies have placed outfielder
Brenton Doyle (quad) on the bereavement list, and he'll miss the next 3-to-7 games. The former fourth-round pick had previously been out of the team's lineup due to a quad injury, missing six games. However, he did come off the bench Wednesday as a pinch-hitter against the Los Angeles Dodgers. It's unfortunate news for Doyle, as he's started off 2025 hot at the dish -- batting a strong .315 (17-for-54) with three home runs, 12 RBI, and seven runs scored. The Rockies have a day off on Monday, so the Virginia native may rejoin the team then, barring he's completely over his quadricep injury.

Colorado Rockies outfielder
Brenton Doyle (quadriceps) will miss his sixth straight game in Wednesday's series finale against the division-rival Los Angeles Dodgers. Doyle continues to recover from left-quadriceps soreness, but with a day off on Thursday, his fantasy managers will be hoping that he'll be feeling good enough to return to the field for Friday's series opener against the Washington Nationals. But if the 26-year-old is unable to go on Friday or at some point over the weekend, this could turn into an injured-list situation. The former fourth-rounder is a fantasy stud when healthy and is currently batting .321 (17-for-53) with three home runs, 12 RBI, a steal and seven runs scored. Doyle is a must-start in fantasy if he's active.
