The Colorado Rockies non-tendered infielder
Brendan Rodgers and right-hander
Cal Quantrill on Friday, making them free agents. Despite having one of his better seasons in Colorado, Rodgers will become a free agent after hitting .267/.314/.407 with 13 home runs, 54 RBI and 67 runs scored in 135 games in his sixth year with the team. If Colorado doesn't do anything to upgrade the keystone in the offseason,
Aaron Schunk figures to be the top option to start at second in 2025. Quantrill, 29, won't return for a second year in Colorado after going 8-11 with an ERA just south of 5.00 and a WHIP of 1.52 in 148 1/3 innings over 29 starts. He was slightly worse on the road than at hitter-friendly Coors Field. Quantrill should latch on with another organization looking for rotation depth and he should have a spot to compete for a back-end rotation gig.

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher
Cal Quantrill (triceps) was reinstated off the 15-day injured list and is slated to start Sunday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Quantrill has been sidelined since August due to a triceps injury. In his past four starts, the right-hander posted a 5.40 ERA, 1.60 WHIP, and a 12:13 BB:K ratio. Fantasy managers should expect Quantrill to remain in the rotation for the remainder of the season. He should not be considered in DFS this afternoon as he will face the Chicago Cubs in the hitter-friendly Coors Field.

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher
Cal Quantrill (triceps) is expected to be activated off the IL on Sunday and make the start in the series finale against the Chicago Cubs. Quantrill hasn't made a start since August 27th against the Miami Marlins but his return will be welcome for a Rockies rotation that's been dealing with a litany of injuries dating back to 2023. The 29-year-old has pitched to a 4.63 ERA in his first year with the Rockies, though he's been hit significantly harder in the second half of the season (.930 OPS) compared to the first half (.753 OPS). Quantrill's return to the rotation will likely mean much more to the Rockies than it will to fantasy managers given's Quantrill's second half struggles and lack of strikeouts. With the season nearing its end, only managers in deeper leagues that are desperate for help should consider the Rockies' righty. Better options can be found on the waiver wire for those in need.

Colorado Rockies manager Bud Black said that right-hander
Cal Quantrill (triceps), who landed on the 15-day injured list over the weekend with right-triceps inflammation, had an MRI exam on Aug. 31 and then received a cortisone shot with the hope that the inflammation calms down and he can make starts at the end of the season in late September. Quantrill is heading into the final year of salary arbitration this offseason and is expected to be a key part of Colorado's starting rotation, so they would like him going into the offseason on a high note. The 29-year-old was scratched from his scheduled start on Sunday at Coors Field against the Baltimore Orioles. Even in deeper fantasy leagues, managers shouldn't be banking on Quantrill's return to close out 2024. Left-hander
Ty Blach took Quantrill's rotation spot on Sunday and should stick around in the rotation for the time being.
