Colorado Rockies first baseman Michael Toglia crushed his 23rd home run of the season and added a late game double in the Rockies 3-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday. Toglia's three-run shot off Frankie Montas ended up being a game winner for the Rockies. Toglia's OPS improved to .793 as he continues to be a low average, high power type of hitter for the Rockies. The switch-hitter has taken advantage of consistent playing time thanks to multiple injury stints from Kris Bryant and the Rockies' demotion of Elehuris Montero, clearing the way for Toglia to be the everyday first baseman for Colorado. Fantasy managers who need help at first base should snag up Toglia as soon as possible as his .362 xwOBA ranks in the 89th percentile, making him a must own. He'll look to continue crushing balls on Saturday when the Rockies face off against Brewers scheduled starter Tobias Myers.
Colorado Rockies first baseman Michael Toglia had a very productive day at the plate, going 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run en route to recording four runs in the Rockies' 9-2 win over the New York Yankees on Saturday. Toglia now has an .809 OPS on the season and has greatly benefitted from consistent playing time with the Rockies. The switch-hitter hit for an .881 OPS in July and has a .939 OPS in August, greatly improved from his career .688 OPS. Fantasy managers looking for help at first base need to look Toglia's way, as his .361 xwOBA ranks in the 88th percentile. With no other veterans blocking Toglia at first base, he should continue to get consistent playing time to finish the season. Expect Toglia to be in Sunday's lineup when the Rockies take on Yankees' scheduled starter Marcus Stroman.
Colorado Rockies first baseman Michael Toglia continued his power barrage on Sunday, blasting three solo shots to lead the Rockies past the New York Mets. Toglia went 3-for-4 with three runs, three homers, and three RBI on the day. The big slugger now has six homers in his last six games, giving him 16 in just 173 at-bats on the season. Although the average is terrible, his counting stats have been solid for the amount of at-bats he has and he's also chipped in a few steals, making him a somewhat useful fantasy player in deeper leagues. He should be looked at in deeper leagues where managers are in need of some pop.
Colorado Rockies first baseman Michael Toglia had a big night in a 7-6 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday. Toglia went 2-for-4 with a triple, a homer, two runs, and three RBI to help power his team to the win over their division rivals. The 25-year-old kicked off the scoring for the Rockies, blasting a three-run homer in the first inning off starter Bobby Miller. The homer traveled 427 feet and had an exit velocity of 104 MPH. Toglia is now hitting .191 with six homers, 14 runs, 20 RBI, and one stolen base across 94 at-bats in 2024.
The Colorado Rockies announced on Wednesday that they recalled utility man Hunter Goodman from Triple-A Albuquerque and optioned infielder/outfielder Michael Toglia to Albuquerque in a corresponding move. Goodman, the club's No. 12 prospect per MLB Pipeline, gets called up to the majors after hitting .298 with seven home runs and 10 doubles in the first 20 games at Triple-A this year. The 24-year-old former fourth-round pick in 2021 out of Memphis made his big-league debut in 2023 and went 14-for-70 (.200) with a homer, 17 RBI, five walks and 24 strikeouts in his first 23 games played in the Show. For now, he's merely a waiver-wire option for fantasy managers in deep leagues for his power upside at Coors Field. He figures to see some playing time in right field and first base, but he's not start in Wednesday against the visiting San Diego Padres.
