Austin Gomber Shut Down From Throwing, Won't Pitch For A Few Weeks

Colorado Rockies left-hander Austin Gomber (shoulder) won't pitch for another two to three weeks, per Rockies manager Bud Black. Gomber was scratched from an injury rehab start with Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday due to shoulder inflammation and has been shut down from throwing. The 31-year-old is on the 10-day injured list and likely won't return to Colorado's rotation until at least May. He owned a 4.75 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, and 116:38 K:BB across 165 innings in 2024. With Gomber on the injured list, the Rockies promoted top pitching prospect Chase Dollander on Friday, and he is set to make his MLB debut on Sunday against the Athletics. Dollander has a ton of upside and is worth taking a chance on in fantasy leagues with 12 teams or more after posting a 2.59 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and 169:47 K:BB with High-A Spokane and Double-A Hartford in 2024.

Austin Gomber Scratched From Rehab Start With Shoulder Inflammation

Colorado Rockies left-hander Austin Gomber (shoulder) was scratched from his scheduled minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday night due to left-shoulder inflammation, according to general manager Bill Schmidt. It's bad news for a pitcher that began the 2025 season on the 15-day injured list with left-shoulder soreness that cropped up during spring training. Even if the 31-year-old southpaw isn't dealing with any structural damage in his left shoulder, this setback essentially assures that he won't make his season debut with the Rockies until some point in May. In his first rehab start with Albuquerque last Friday, Gomber went four innings and allowed two earned runs on three hits (one homer) while walking two and striking out five. Gomber should remain on the waiver wire in most mixed fantasy leagues.

Austin Gomber To Open Season On Injured List

The Denver Post's Patrick Saunders reports that Colorado Rockies left-hander Austin Gomber (shoulder) will open the 2025 regular season on the injured list as he recovers from left-shoulder soreness that he dealt with in spring training. The good news, though, is that Gomber is expected to rejoin the starting rotation early in the season. The 31-year-old veteran southpaw's only Grapefruit League appearance came way back on Feb. 25. Until he returns, the Rockies will roll with a four-man rotation consisting of Kyle Freeland, Ryan Feltner, German Marquez and Antonio Senzatela. When healthy, Gomber is merely a deep-league option, primarily when he's on the road. There's just not much fantasy upside for a pitcher with limited strikeout potential that has trouble keeping the ball out of the air.
