Kyle Farmer

Goodman doubled off Garrett Cleavinger in the seventh inning and scored what would turn out to be the winning run on a single by Kyle Farmer. The 25-year-old has started both games at catcher for the Rockies, picking up where he left off after an impressive spring. It might be time to check your waiver wire if in need of a backstop.

The Rockies are one of the few teams in the majors will no real shot at contending this year, so their offseason was understandably very quiet. Major League Signings IF Thairo Estrada: One year, $4MM (includes $750K buyout on 2026 mutual option) IF Kyle Farmer: One year, $3.25MM (includes $750K buyout on 2026 mutual option)…

The right-hander piled up eight strikeouts on the afternoon while issuing only one base on balls. The Rockies scratched out an unearned run against him in the third inning then added another in the fourth on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Kyle Farmer. Pepiot generated 16 swings and misses on 85 pitches on the day -- eight of those on his changeup -- while posting a CSW of 29 percent. He'll look to carry over the good vibes from this start when he takes the ball against the Pirates at home on Wednesday.

Estrada was plunked in the wrist by Kumar Rocker, and imaging revealed the fracture. Rockies manager Bud Black told reporters that Estrada will be out 4-8 weeks while recovering. The 29-year-old could return to action at some point in May, and Kyle Farmer will handle second base duties while Estrada recovers.
