Brendan Rodgers's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

The Colorado Rockies non-tendered infielder Brendan Rodgers and right-hander Cal Quantrill on Friday, making them free agents. Despite having one of his better seasons in Colorado, Rodgers will become a free agent after hitting .267/.314/.407 with 13 home runs, 54 RBI and 67 runs scored in 135 games in his sixth year with the team. If Colorado doesn't do anything to upgrade the keystone in the offseason, Aaron Schunk figures to be the top option to start at second in 2025. Quantrill, 29, won't return for a second year in Colorado after going 8-11 with an ERA just south of 5.00 and a WHIP of 1.52 in 148 1/3 innings over 29 starts. He was slightly worse on the road than at hitter-friendly Coors Field. Quantrill should latch on with another organization looking for rotation depth and he should have a spot to compete for a back-end rotation gig.

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers was scratched from Saturday's starting lineup with left hamstring soreness according to the team. Aaron Schunk is set to start at second base in his place and will bat eighth. Rodgers missed all of Colorado's series against the St. Louis Cardinals earlier this week with hamstring soreness, making this lingering issue a problem as the Rockies finish their season. With only one game left in the season it may not be surprising to see the Rockies rest the 28-year-old and give Schunk more chances to prove himself at the major league level. Rodgers has been decent but not overwhelming at the plate in 2024, hitting for a 94 OPS+. It's a step up from his 82 OPS+ he posted in 2023 but isn't quite the level that the Rockies expected out of him when he started getting consistent playing time in 2021. If he is to miss Sunday's game, expect Schunk to pick up more time at second in his place. Schunk has performed very strong over the past week, posting four multi-hit games in his last four starts and has at least one hit in his last seven starts. He may make a sneaky option for DFS players against Dodgers' scheduled starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
