Rockies Suffer Major Loss Before Mets Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The Colorado Rockies are as hot as a 12-50 team could be heading into their bout with the New York Mets on Friday night. They swept the Miami Marlins on the road in their last series after losing their previous seven contests, outscoring them 12-8 over the three games.

Colorado’s offense has been unreliable, as they’ve scored at least four runs in just five of their last 20 games. Even in their sweep of the Marlins, the Rockies won the latter two contests 3-2 after winning the opener 6-4.
The team will now have to play New York without an important bat, via Rockies PR.

Colorado placed shortstop Ezequiel Tovar on the 10-day IL (retroactive to June 3) with a left oblique strain ahead of the game.
It also selected the contract of infielder Ryan Ritter from Triple-A Albuquerque, recalled catcher Braxton Fulford from Triple-A, reinstated right-handed pitcher Zach Agnos from the bereavement list, and unconditionally released catcher Jacob Stallings.
Tovar is slashing .258/.301/406 with three homers and 10 RBI over 32 games this season. The 23-year-old had a career year in 2024, slashing .269/.295/.469 with 26 homers and 78 RBI over 157 contests.

Meanwhile, the Mets are coming off a 2-2 series split vs. the Los Angeles Dodgers on the road. They hold a 1.5-game lead over the Philadelphia Phillies for first place in the NL East and are a half-game behind the Chicago Cubs for the NL’s top seed.
New York will finish its road trip in Colorado before hosting the Washington Nationals.
