Rotowire
Moniak went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Sunday's win over Arizona.

Rockies' Antonio Senzatela: Picks up second straight win
Rotowire
Senzatela (3-10) allowed two runs on four hits and a walk over 5.1 innings Sunday, striking out five and earning a win over Arizona.
Senzatela gave up a run in the second and fourth innings, but Colorado's four-run fifth frame gave him his second straight victory. It was the first time he earned wins in consecutive outings since 2021. Despite the recent wins, Senzatela has not completed six innings in a start since May 20 and has registered a 6.75 ERA in six appearances since then. He owns a 6.48 ERA with a 40:28 K:BB through 76.1 frames this season. Senzatela is projected to take the mound in Milwaukee next weekend.
Freeland (back) threw a bullpen session Sunday and is expected to return from the 15-day injured injured list to start Friday against the Brewers in Milwaukee, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
The veteran left-hander landed on the shelf due to back stiffness after his June 11 start against San Francisco, but he's on track to rejoin Colorado's rotation after spending the minimum amount of time on the IL. Freeland will likely throw another bullpen session Tuesday before being fully cleared to return this weekend.

Rotowire
The Rockies recalled Chivilli from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
The 22-year-old has struggled to a 6.14 ERA across 29.1 innings during his time in the big leagues this season, but he'll rejoin the Rockies on Sunday with Carson Palmquist being optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Chivilli should fill a low-leverage relief role while he's up with the Rockies.

Rockies' Carson Palmquist: Sent to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Rockies optioned Palmquist to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
Palmquist has made seven starts across his two stints in the majors this season, and he'll head back to Triple-A with a 7.63 ERA and 22:18 K:BB across 30.2 innings with the Rockies. Kyle Freeland (back) is expected to return from the 15-day injured list later this week to replace Palmquist in the rotation, according to Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com.
Goodman is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Goodman will sit Sunday after going 3-for-12 with two walks, a double and two RBI while starting in each of the previous three contests. Braxton Fulford will step in behind the plate and bat eighth in the series finale versus Arizona.
Estrada (hand) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Estrada will sit for a fifth straight game as he continues to manage a bruised right hand. The veteran infielder said Saturday that he doesn't believe he'll require a stint on the injured list, but he could still end up on the shelf if his absence extends much longer. Kyle Farmer will man the keystone Sunday for Colorado.
Freeman went 2-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Freeman has been trending up lately, batting first or second in six of the Rockies' last seven games. He was atop the lineup Saturday, swapping places with Jordan Beck against Arizona right-hander Merrill Kelly. Freeman has hit safely in 17 of 19 games in June, going 23-for-56 (.411) with an 8:2 BB:K this month. Overall, he's at a .326/.417/.442 slash line with one home run, 10 RBI, 17 runs scored and seven steals on 10 attempts through 115 plate appearances.

Rockies' Jordan Beck: Smacks 10th homer
Rotowire
Beck went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Beck was responsible for both of the Rockies' scoring plays in this contest. He gave them a 2-1 lead with his first-inning homer, and while he grounded into a double play in the third, it led to the Rockies scoring their third run. The outfielder has hit safely in five of his last six games, going 6-for-25 (.240) with five extra-base hits and six RBI in that span. For the season, he's at a .261/.319/.477 slash line with 10 homers, 26 RBI, 36 runs scored and eight stolen bases over 66 games. His 28.1 percent strikeout rate is still a limiting factor, but Beck has made significant gains after posting a .521 OPS in 55 contests as a rookie in 2024.

Rockies' Carson Palmquist: Lasts four innings against Arizona
Rotowire
Palmquist allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four over four innings in a no-decision Saturday versus the Diamondbacks.
Palmquist gave up a run in each of the first three innings, including a solo home run to Eugenio Suarez in the third. Palmquist has completed five innings just once in seven outings, and he was pulled at 62 pitches (39 strikes) in this start. Overall, he has a poor 7.63 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 22:18 K:BB over 30.2 innings. He's still in search of his first major-league win, and he'll need to be more efficient, especially in cutting back the free passes, to get a realistic shot at a victory. Palmquist is not guaranteed another turn through the rotation if Kyle Freeland (back) is ready to return from the injured list when first eligible Friday.
Estrada (hand) is not in the Rockies' starting lineup against the Diamondbacks on Saturday.
Estrada will be out of the lineup for a fourth consecutive game due to a right hand injury, but he told reporters Saturday that he doesn't believe he'll need a stint on the injured list, per Thomas Harding of MLB.com. Orlando Arcia will start at the keystone and bat eighth.

Rockies' Carson Palmquist: Receiving another start
Rotowire
Palmquist is slated to start Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks at Coors Field.
The rookie will pick up a second turn through the rotation after being called up from Triple-A Albuquerque to serve as a replacement for lefty Kyle Freeland (back), who was placed on the injured list last weekend. While stepping in for Freeland in Monday's 6-4 win over the Nationals, Palmquist took a no-decision and gave up four earned runs on four hits and three walks over 4.2 innings. Over his six starts this season with the Rockies, Palmquist owns a 7.76 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 18:16 K:BB in 26.2 innings.

Rockies' Mickey Moniak: Slugs homer No. 10
Rotowire
Moniak went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 14-8 loss to the Diamondbacks.
His 452-foot moon shot to right-center field off Zac Gallen was the big blow in a six-run fourth inning that briefly gave the Rockies a 7-6 lead. Moniak still sits against most left-handed pitchers, but he's enjoying a huge June against righties, batting .387 (12-for-31) in 10 games with five of his 10 homers on the season, along with two steals, nine runs and nine RBI.
