Player Outlook
Ezequiel Tovar laughed in the face of the sophomore slump theory and had a very productive 2024 season, albeit with some flaws. Tovar once again played nearly every day, but set new career highs in all run producing categories while also elevating his batting average. He was not as much of a help in OBP leagues, as his .295 OBP was a direct result of an anemic 3.3 percent walk rate. It is one thing when Judge or Schwarber strike out 200 times because they're hitting 45-plus homers while also walking 125-plus times in a season. Tovar hit 26 homers while striking out 200 times and walked 23 times all season. We have seen 21 instances of a player strike out at least 200 times in a season, and Tovar has the lowest walk total in that group. Tovar's home/road splits were surprisingly close to neutral, especially for a Colorado hitter, as his homers were evenly split, while the batting average was a difference of 16 points. Tovar will be there to volume his way through production again for Colorado, but managers and fans should expect a step, or even two steps, back rather than a step forward.

  • Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Back in action Friday

    Rotowire
    Tovar (triceps) will start at shortstop and bat second in Friday's Cactus League game versus the Rangers. Tovar was removed from Wednesday's contest against the Padres after being hit on the left triceps by a pitch, but he's fine and back out there after a day of rest. The young shortstop is 4-for-17 with three doubles at the dish so far this spring.

  • Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Exits game due to triceps injury

    Rotowire
    Tovar left Wednesday's spring game against the Padres due to a left triceps contusion, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports. Tovar had his left arm hit by a pitch from Michael King in the first inning and was replaced by Owen Miller in the third frame. Tovar's removal likely precautionary, and it wouldn't be surprising if he returns to action after Thursdays team off day. The 23-year-old shortstop is coming off a strong 2024 season in which he slashed .269/.295/.469 with 26 home runs and 78 RBI across 694 plate appearances.

  • Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Tallies two RBI

    Rotowire
    Tovar went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored Thursday against the Cardinals. Tovar has put together a productive close to the season, with Thursday's performance marking his fifth multi-RBI performance in his last 14 games. He's also struck out multiple times in seven of those contests, inflating his strikeout rate to 29.2 percent on the season. That swing and miss has been covered up by a .344 BABIP, something that may not continue into 2025 even with the benefit of Coors Field as his home park.

  • Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Back in action Tuesday

    Rotowire
    Tovar (sports hernia) will start at shortstop and bat second in Tuesday's game versus the Marlins. Tovar missed Monday's game while dealing with a sports hernia, but it wound up being just a one-day absence. The 23-year-old has struggled so far in August with just a .482 OPS.

  • Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Expected back Tuesday

    Rotowire
    Tovar, who was given the day off Monday while dealing with a sports hernia, is expected to be in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports. The Rockies failed to disclose much about Tovar's issue prior to this point, which could be one of the causes for his struggles at the dish so far in August. However, the issue shouldn't force the 23-year-old shortstop to miss additional time assuming he feels ready to play ahead of Tuesday's matchup.

  • Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Cleared to rejoin lineup

    Rotowire
    Tovar will start at shortstop and bat second in Monday's game against the Red Sox. Tovar was held out of the lineup Sunday in what was believed to be a routine rest day, but Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com relays that the shortstop has been dealing with flu-like symptoms. Though Tovar isn't yet feeling 100 percent, he showed enough improvement overnight to re-enter the starting nine for the series opener with the Red Sox.

  • Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Not starting Sunday

    Rotowire
    Tovar is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports. The 22-year-old has started 96 of Colorado's 99 games this season and has multiple hits in each of his past five contests, so it's a bit of a surprise he's on the bench so early after the All-Star break.
