The Colorado Rockies will give outfielder Brenton Doyle a few days of rest after an MRI revealed a left wrist sprain. Doyle was scratched from Wednesday's lineup with wrist soreness, and the team plans to let him rest and then re-evaluate next steps.
Why it matters
Doyle is entering his fourth MLB season with the Rockies, and the injury could impact his chances of making the opening day roster, especially with several other outfielders competing for spots.
The details
Doyle was off to a hot start this spring, going 3-for-5 with two doubles and three RBIs. However, his 2025 season was a step back, as he slashed .233/.274/.376 with 15 home runs and 57 RBIs. The Rockies have eight outfielders on their 40-man roster, including starters Mickey Moniak and Jordan Beck, as well as top prospect Zac Veen, who has impressed in camp.
