Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers (shoulder) has been on the injured list since the 2023 season began after dislocating his left shoulder during a March 6 Spring Training game. Original reports announced that the 26-year-old would miss the entire campaign, but he's ahead of schedule and manager Bud Black said he has a chance to return before the end of the season. That's encouraging news for fantasy managers who stashed the former top prospect, and hopefully, Rodgers can come back as the player who slashed .266/.325/.408 with 13 home runs, 72 runs, and 63 RBI over 137 games in 2022.

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list. Rodgers dislocated his left shoulder while diving for a ground ball on March 6th against the Texas Rangers, and could miss the season. He went for a second opinion a few weeks ago after he was informed that it would require season-ending surgery, and the Rockies aren't too optimistic that he'll play in 2023. Rodgers was a first-time Gold Glove winner last season and even sprinkled in some production at the plate. He slashed .266/.325/.408 with 13 HRs and a 96 OPS+. With Rodgers likely missing the 2023 season, Ryan McMahon and Alan Trejo are potential candidates to become the Rockies' everyday second baseman.

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers (shoulder) will get a second opinion after the first opinion on his dislocated left shoulder called for season-ending surgery. The Rockies will consider internal candidates first and don't seem to have any interest in bringing infielder Jose Iglesias back. Already a player that fantasy managers in most leagues are tired of waiting for, the 26-year-old should definitely be avoided now in upcoming drafts with the possibility of missing the entire 2023 campaign. Rodgers hit .266/.325/.408 with a .733 OPS, 13 home runs, a career-high 63 RBI and 72 runs scored in 137 games last year, and he's still looking for his first career stolen base after four MLB seasons.

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers (shoulder), who suffered a dislocated left shoulder in a Cactus League game earlier this week, has more damage than expected to his shoulder capsule. Doctors are still looking at him, but surgery is a possibility, which could threaten his entire 2023 season. If Rodgers misses the entire season, Ryan McMahon could serve as the full-time second baseman for the Rockies. Colorado could also choose to mix and match at the keystone with Harold Castro and/or Alan Trejo. The 26-year-old Rodgers hasn't been able to put it all together at the major-league level, and injuries continue to get in his way. Fantasy managers with drafts in the coming days would be wise to avoid Rodgers altogether until we know more.

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers (shoulder) left the team's Cactus League game early on Tuesday against the Texas Rangers due to a shoulder injury. Manager Bud Black said they had to pop Rodgers' shoulder back into place. It sounds like a dislocated shoulder for the 26-year-old, but we should know more in the coming days as to how much time Rodgers may have to miss in camp. The good news is it's still pretty early in spring training, but that doesn't necessarily mean he'll be ready for Opening Day. Injuries have kept him from reaching his true potential, and Rodgers continues to be a frustrating fantasy player with extreme home/road splits. One thing is for sure: Nobody should be reaching for Rodgers in drafts.

The Colorado Rockies and second baseman Brendan Rodgers avoided salary arbitration on Friday by agreeing to a one-year, $2.7 million deal. In his fourth year in the big leagues with the Rockies in 2022, Rodgers slashed .266/.325/.408 with a .733 OPS, 13 home runs, 63 RBI and 72 runs scored in 581 plate appearances and a career-high 137 games. He hasn't been much to look at from a fantasy perspective with only 28 home runs, 123 RBI and no stolen bases in four seasons at Coors Field, but offers the Rockies great defense at the keystone and could develop more power along the way. Rodgers remains a decent selection as a middle infielder in deep mixed leagues in 2023.

The Colorado Rockies activated second baseman Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) from the injured list on Thursday and placed outfielder Connor Joe (ribs) on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Rodgers went on the IL a week ago and will be back for the final handful of games in the 2022 regular season. It remains to be seen if he'll be back in the starting lineup on Thursday against the San Francisco Giants. The 26-year-old is returning to a .261/.319/.396 slash line with 11 homers, 61 RBI and 68 runs in 502 at-bats this year. Joe will miss the rest of the regular season with his injury. He'll finish his season hitting .238/.338/.359 with seven home runs, 28 RBI, 56 runs scored and six stolen bases in 111 games in his second season in Colorado.

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the San Francisco Giants. Rodgers is dealing with a hamstring injury and was last in the lineup on Sunday. There's a chance he'll be back in the lineup this weekend against the San Diego Padres, though, since his MRI results were encouraging. With Rodgers out another game, Ryan McMahon will get another start at second base and bat leadoff against Giants right-hander John Brebbia on Thursday. McMahon has some DFS sleeper appeal once again despite going 0-for-4 in the loss to the Giants on Wednesday. The 27-year-old has 17 home runs and 63 RBI in 487 at-bats on the season.

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the San Francisco Giants. Rodgers remains day-to-day after a recent MRI exam ruled out significant damage, but he'll miss his third straight game for the Rockies. Garrett Hampson is getting the nod at second base in this one and will bat eighth in the lineup against Giants right-hander Logan Webb. There's very little DFS upside with Hampson. He's batting .214 (3-for-14) with an RBI, run scored and six strikeouts in 12 games in September, and he's also slashing just .214/.294/.316 with two long balls, 14 RBI, 28 runs scored and 11 stolen bases in 187 at-bats in 2022.

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) will get an MRI exam on his left hamstring on Monday night and won't be in the starting lineup against the San Francisco Giants. Rodgers' injury doesn't feel as bad as the one he dealt with last year, but the Rockies don't know the extent of it yet. He'll be out at least a few days and possibly longer, so fantasy managers need to act accordingly this week. The 26-year-old is slashing .261/.319/.396 with 11 home runs, 61 RBI and 68 runs scored this year in 502 at-bats for the Rockies. Ryan McMahon is at the keystone and is batting leadoff on Monday against Giants right-hander Jakob Junis. McMahon will be a popular DFS selection out of the leadoff spot. He has 17 home runs on the season, with 14 of them coming against right-handed pitching.

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers has left Sunday's game early with a potential leg injury, according to beat writer Patrick Saunders. Rodgers went 0-for-1 with an RBI groundout before leaving the contest. Elehuris Montero is covering third base and Ryan McMahon has shifted over to second to cover for Rodgers. The team should provide an update shortly.

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers (mouth) is back at second base and is hitting second on Friday against the Cincinnati Reds and right-hander Luis Cessa. Rodgers didn't play on Thursday after undergoing a root canal earlier in the day, but he'll return to the lineup on Friday. The 26-year-old finished up the month of August hitting .271 (29-for-107) with two home runs, 11 RBI and 13 runs scored in 27 games played. Overall, Rodgers is hitting .276/.327/.420 with 11 long balls, 60 RBI and 62 runs scored in 510 plate appearances over 118 games. Get Rodgers back into your fantasy lineups in deeper leagues.

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers (mouth) is not in the starting lineup against the Atlanta Braves on Thursday after undergoing a root canal in the morning. Manager Bud Black said he'll try to avoid using Rodgers off the bench on Thursday, but he intends to return him to the starting lineup on Friday. Rodgers said he will hit in the batting cages in case he's needed Thursday. With Rodgers on the bench, Ryan McMahon will get the nod at the keystone and hit leadoff against Braves right-hander Spencer Strider. Ten of McMahon's 13 home runs this season have come against right-handed hurlers, and he'll be more attractive in the leadoff spot in DFS, but Strider has been excellent for Atlanta this year. In his 301 at-bats against righties in 2022, McMahon has 77 hits (18 doubles), 41 RBI, 31 runs scored and six steals.

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers drove in four runs Friday, going 2-for-5 with a home run and a double. Rodgers now has nine homers, 41 runs scored, and 47 RBI to his name this season. He has hit safely in eight of his last nine games, though this is the only multi-hit performance in that span. A .730 OPS in the friendly Coors Field environment is somewhat disappointing for the former top prospect, but he's still a serviceable middle infield option in mixed leagues.

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers had a monster game at the plate in the second game of the team's doubleheader against the Miami Marlins on Wednesday. He went 3-for-5 with three home runs, one walk, four RBI and four runs scored. His third home run of the day was a walk-off, two-run shot in the 10th inning. After posting a rough .078/.172/.098 slash line in April, Rodgers quickly turned things around with a .347/.380/.484 slash line in May. The 25-year-old now has five home runs, 23 RBI and 25 runs over 40 games on the year.

Colorado Rockies infielder Brendan Rodgers (hand) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Kansas City Royals. He'll make his return to the lineup after missing each of the last two games due to a hand injury. Rodgers will bat sixth and play second base versus right-hander Zack Greinke on Friday. He's off to a rough start to the season, but was heating up with the bat before the injury. Fantasy managers who still have Rodgers rostered can go ahead and get him back in their lineups.

Colorado Rockies infielder Brendan Rodgers (hand) has missed the last two games due to a hand injury. He is expected to return to action Friday against the San Francisco Giants. It's unknown when the 25-year-old picked up the injury, but his hand injury isn't severe, and he remains day-to-day. He has struggled in 2022, slashing .169/.222/.241 with one homer, nine RBI, and nine runs over 90 plate appearances 2022. Fantasy managers should continue to stash Rodgers in standard leagues after hitting .284 with 15 homers in 2021.

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers (back) could wind up on the injured list in the next few days. Rodgers was scratched from the lineup on Wednesday with a back issue and has now missed Thursday and Friday's games as well. While the Rockies have yet to make a final decision on Rodgers, a trip to the IL is still within the realm of possibility. Rodgers is hitting .078 with three runs and one RBI over 51 at-bats. Alan Trejo has been handling the work at second base in Rodgers' absence.

Colorado Rockies third baseman/outfielder Kris Bryant (back) and second baseman Brendan Rodgers (back) are both out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the Philadelphia Phillies. Bryant was scratched from the lineup on Tuesday with back soreness, so this will be his third straight game on the sidelines. Sam Hilliard will get the start in left field and bat seventh, while Alan Trejo is starting at second base and hitting eighth against Phillies right-hander Zack Wheeler on Thursday. Although Bryant doesn't yet have a home run with Colorado, he's hitting a solid .281 (16-for-57) with four RBI and 11 runs scored in his first 15 games. Fantasy managers will be hoping he can rejoin the starting lineup this weekend.

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers. Alan Trejo will be manning the keystone for the game and batting ninth in the lineup. Rodgers is off to a nightmare start to the 2022 season. After going 0-for-4 in Game 1 of Saturday's two-game set, he now has an ugly season-long slash line of .087/.157/.109. Over 51 plate appearances, he has just one extra-base hit (a double) and he's struck out 16 times.
