Rockies' Michael Toglia: Homers again
Rotowire
Toglia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Nationals.
Toglia has started three straight games since being recalled by Colorado on Monday and has showcased the power that was missing earlier in the season. He homered in a second consecutive contest Wednesday with a solo blast in the sixth inning and has three total since his promotion. While that production is encouraging, he has struck out once in every contest and has a 38.2 percent overall strikeout rate across 220 plate appearances for the season.
Rockies' Michael Toglia: Leads franchise-record barrage
Rotowire
Toglia went 3-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Tuesday's 10-6 win over the Nationals.
In his second game back in the majors following a promotion from Triple-A Albuquerque, Toglia took Michael Soroka deep in the fourth inning before getting hold of a Jackson Rutledge cutter in the seventh, leading the charge as the Rockies tied a franchise record with seven homers on the night. Toglia's power has never been in question, only his ability to make enough contact -- through 56 games for Colorado this season he's produced eight home runs and 24 RBI, but a .205/.273/.385 slash line and a ghastly 38.4 percent strikeout rate.
The Rockies recalled Toglia from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.
Toglia was sent down in late May after slashing only .194/.266/.349 with a 39.1 percent strikeout rate in his first 54 games. He cut his strikeout rate to a more respectable 29.4 percent at Albuquerque while collecting a .921 OPS and three home runs in 11 contests. Making contact remains an issue for Toglia, but he should play every day at first base, and his power upside makes him worth picking back up in fantasy leagues for managers in need of corner infield or outfield help.
The Rockies optioned Toglia to Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday.
Toglia entered the season tasked with helping anchor the Rockies' lineup. However, the 26-year-old first baseman has slashed .194/.266/.349 with two steals, six home runs, 20 RBI and a league-leading 81 strikeouts in 186 plate appearances. Toglia will go to the minors to regain his form at the plate, with Keston Hiura being promoted to the majors in a corresponding move.

Toglia was held out of the lineup for three games spanning Wednesday to Friday to work on his approach at the plate. He returned to the lineup Saturday to drive in Colorado's only run with a triple in the fourth inning.

Rockies' Michael Toglia: Getting break to work on swing
Rotowire
Rockies interim manager Warren Schaeffer said that Toglia is out of the lineup again Thursday in order to work on his swing and approach, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Toglia is absent from the Rockies' lineup for a second straight day Thursday and the third time over the last six contests. However, it sounds like this is more of a reset for the first baseman rather than a demotion. Toglia is slashing only .205/.272/.367 with a league-leading 71 strikeouts this season.

Rockies' Michael Toglia: Out of lineup again Thursday
Rotowire
Toglia is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Phillies.
It's the second straight day and third time over the last six games that Toglia has been absent from the Rockies' lineup. The switch hitter does not appear to be injured, so it could be that he's losing his grip on a starting job. Toglia leads all of baseball with 71 strikeouts this season and has struck out at a 41.7 percent clip in May. Kyle Farmer is at first base for a second straight day Thursday.
Toglia is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.
Toglia has held down an everyday gig all season, but his grip on a full-time role could be starting to loosen a bit. He'll be on the bench for the second time in five games, with the Rockies once again turning to Kyle Farmer to replace him at first base. After mashing 25 home runs and reaching base at a .311 clip in 2024, Toglia has seen his slugging percentage and on-base percentage drop 89 and 39 points, respectively, from last season. Meanwhile, Toglia's strikeout rate sits at 38.6 percent so far in 2025, up more than six percentage points from a season ago.

Rockies' Michael Toglia: Heating up in May
Rotowire
Toglia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-3 loss to Texas.
Toglia has now recorded at least one hit in five of his last six games, and he added his third home run in the month of May. The switch hitter now has six multi-hit efforts in 2025, and he's batting .281 with three long balls, two doubles and five RBI over his last 32 at-bats (nine games). Toglia's fantasy appeal gets a considerable boost when he plays at home, as evidenced by his .886 OPS across 75 at-bats at hitter-friendly Coors Field this year.

Rockies' Michael Toglia: Power coming around
Rotowire
Toglia went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks Friday against the Padres.
Toglia has struggled to get going at the plate this season, though there have been some positive aspects to his performance across the last two weeks. Four of his five home runs have come in his last 13 games, and he's also delivered seven RBI and four runs scored. Despite that short-term success, he has just a .208 average with a 35.2 percent strikeout rate across 145 plate appearances on the campaign.
