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.

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.

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.

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Austin Gomber (shoulder) was scratched from his start on Sunday due to left shoulder soreness. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status in case this injury begins to linger. For the time being, it does not appear the southpaw is in danger of missing Opening Day. Over the past two seasons, Gomber has been deployed exclusively out of the bullpen. Last summer, the 31-year-old posted a 4.75 ERA with a 1.31 WHIP across 165 innings of work. He tallied 116 punchouts and showed strong command with a 5.5 percent walk rate. However, he struggled to limit hard contact as he generated a high 41.2 percent hard-hit rate and a 9.6 percent barrel rate. He also held a 5.07 xERA and a .278 xBA, which were well below the average marks. When healthy, Gomber will have a spot in the starting rotation.

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Austin Gomber had a terrific start on Thursday, tossing eight innings of one-run ball against the Atlanta Braves in a 3-1 win. Gomber allowed just five hits and had six strikeouts to zero walks. The 30-year-old has been fairly reliable lately, going at least six innings in each of his last five starts while earning a quality start in all but one of those outings. His numbers on the season aren't terrible either, especially for pitching in Coors Field. Still, he doesn't strike out a lot of batters and pitches for a dreadful team in a dreadful park for pitchers, so he doesn't warrant any long-term consideration in fantasy.

Colorado Rockies pitcher Austin Gomber struggled through six innings during Monday's 8-7 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. Gomber received a no-decision after allowing four earned runs on nine hits, striking out three, and not allowing a walk. Monday was a mild improvement, yet Gomber has allowed at least four earned runs in each of his last five starts that has taken his ERA from 2.76 on May 22 to his current 4.72 mark. Gomber is 1-5 with a 1.32 WHIP with 59 strikeouts and 24 walks in 87 2/3 innings. Fantasy managers would be wise to avoid Gomber, even in deeper leagues.

Colorado Rockies left-hander Austin Gomber (arm) will take his normal spot in the team's starting rotation and toe the rubber on Sunday in Los Angeles against the first-place Dodgers this weekend. It's great news for the Rockies and Gomber's fantasy managers after he needed to be scratched from his last scheduled start on Monday against the Cleveland Guardians due to general arm soreness. The 30-year-old will be well-rested, but the matchup in LA against the best lineup in the game is one to shy away from, at least in DFS. Gomber has looked great so far in 2024 for the Rockies, recording a fine 2.76 ERA and 1.11 WHIP with a 41:17 K:BB in 58 2/3 innings and 10 starts. As is the case with most Rockies pitchers, Gomber has been slightly better on the road than at hitter-friendly Coors Field, but keep in mind the Dodgers sport the second-best OPS (.758) in baseball.

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Austin Gomber (arm) was scratched from Monday's start due to arm soreness. As a result, Anthony Molina will get the starting nod. Gomber expressed to the media that he felt "that I would have been probably at 85% today where we are at now, still being in May, it was probably smarter just to buy a couple of days." This is a great sign, as Gomber could even make a start later this week and is still worth holding onto in deeper leagues. The southpaw entered Monday with a strong 2.76 ERA and 1.11 WHIP. Spot starter Anthony Molina has yet to start a game this season and has posted a poor 7.56 ERA and 1.80 WHIP out of the bullpen. He should not be considered in any DFS formats this afternoon.

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Austin Gomber (back) was skipped in his last start and will now be placed on the injured list due to back tightness. He was pulled from his most recent start and things haven't progressed the way the team would've liked. Gomber has nine wins this year but has pitched poorly overall and isn't worth rostering right now.

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Austin Gomber (back) is set to miss his next scheduled start versus the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday. The left-hander was pulled early during his last start on Monday due to back tightness. The Rockies are hopeful that Gomber is able to avoid the injured list. The southpaw has struggled with a 5.50 ERA, 1.49 WHIP, and 87/43 K/BB ratio through 27 starts this season. Fantasy managers who have Gomber rostered can go ahead and look for another option this week.

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Austin Gomber (back) could be skipped on his next turn in the rotation, according to manager Bud Black. The left-hander made an early exit from Monday's start due to back soreness. The Rockies have two days off within the next week, so they will be able to give Gomber a little more rest. It sounds like the southpaw should be able to avoid going on the injured list. It's uncertain who would take Gomber's spot in the rotation, assuming he does miss a start.

Colorado Rockies left-hander Austin Gomber (back) has had back soreness for around a month and had been able to pitch through the issue before he was lifted from his start early on Monday against the Atlanta Braves. When asked if he was worried about a trip to the injured list, Gomber said, "I wouldn't say I'm worried. I don't feel specifically worse than I felt the past couple of weeks." Before leaving on Monday, the 29-year-old southpaw allowed two runs in 2 2/3 innings. While not 100 percent in the month of August, Gomber allowed 13 earned runs on 32 hits (four home runs) while walking 11 and striking out only 10 in 25 innings over five starts. He's sporting a 5.50 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and just 87 K's in 139 innings over 27 starts on the year and will be a shaky fantasy streamer if he's able to make his next start.

Colorado Rockies left-hander Austin Gomber left his Monday start against the Atlanta Braves with an apparent injury. Gomber was visited on the mound by the trainer during the third inning after getting two outs in the frame, although it is still unclear what the exact injury is that Gomber is dealing with. The veteran was replaced on the mound by Karl Kauffmann, who got the final out of the third inning. Gomber finished the night having allowed two runs on four hits over 2 2/3 innings while striking out one and walking two. Stay tuned as the Rockies are likely to provide an update on Gomber's status after Monday night's game ends.

The Colorado Rockies avoided salary arbitration with left-hander Austin Gomber on Wednesday by agreeing to a one-year, $1.65 million deal, according to sources familiar with the deal. Gomber was a key piece in the blockbuster trade that sent third baseman Nolan Arenado to the St. Louis Cardinals. The 29-year-old southpaw appeared in a career-high 33 games (17 starts) in his second season in Colorado in 2022 and went 5-7 with a career-high 5.56 ERA (4.54 FIP), 1.37 WHIP and career-low 18.0% strikeout rate in 124 1/3 innings pitched. Depending on how he fares in spring training, Gomber could be a candidate to start the regular season in Colorado's starting rotation, but he'd be a pretty shaky streamer in deep leagues.

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Austin Gomber held his own versus the Washington Nationals on Wednesday. The 28-year-old went 6 2/3 innings with six strikeouts and only allowed two earned runs in the victory. He allowed an RBI single in the first and a solo blast in the fifth inning to Lane Thomas. However, Gomber was solid on the mound outside of those two situations. He'll take a 3.58 ERA and 1.23 WHIP over 27 2/3 innings into his next start against the San Francisco Giants. This will be a more challenging matchup for Gomber, so fantasy managers should expect a bit of a regression.

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Austin Gomber took the loss on Tuesday when he surrendered four runs on four hits with six walks and two strikeouts over 4 1/3 innings in a 4-3 loss to the Texas Rangers. Gomber lacked control on Tuesday, issuing six free passes, which is one below his season-high of seven. He also served up a pair of home runs to Nate Lowe and Leody Taveras. It was a forgettable outing for the 27-year-old southpaw who's given up 17 runs over his last four starts. Gomber is now 9-9 with a 4.53 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, 113:41 K/BB ratio over 115 1/3 innings (23 starts). He'll face the Braves at home in his next turn but shouldn't be trusted for fantasy purposes in that one.

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Austin Gomber took the loss on Wednesday when he surrendered five runs on seven hits with one walk and eight strikeouts over 4 2/3 innings in a 5-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs in game one of a doubleheader. Gomber was victimized by the long ball on Wednesday, with all five of his runs coming via the home run. He served up solo shots to both David Bote and Austin Romine before Patrick Wisdom put on the finishing touches with a three-run shot of his own. Gomber managed to rack up eight strikeouts, but the poor outing raised his ERA to 4.38 with a 1.20 WHIP and 111:35 K/BB ratio over 111 innings (22 starts). He'll get a relatively easy matchup on the road in his next turn when the Rockies visit the Rangers.

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Austin Gomber took a no-decision on Friday when he allowed three runs on six hits with three walks and three strikeouts over five innings in a 9-4 win over the Diamondbacks. Gomber didn't have his best stuff on Friday and wasn't very efficient. He fired off 88 pitches to get through his five innings, coughing up a two-run single to Josh Rojas and a solo homer to Ketel Marte in the process. He was given plenty of run support, however, so he walked away with a no-decision. The 27-year-old southpaw only has one quality start over the last four contests and has given up 12 earned runs in 16 innings over that span. He owns a 4.15 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and 103:34 K/BB ratio over 106 1/3 innings (21 starts). He'll look to right the ship in his next turn against the Cubs on the road.

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Austin Gomber (paternity) is set to take the mound on Friday versus the Arizona Diamondbacks. He has been absent from the team over the last few days while his wife gave birth to his son. The 27-year-old has been a reliable option for the Rockies this season. He is posting a 4.09 ERA, 1.145 WHIP, and 100/31 K/BB ratio across 101 1/3 innings. He is certainly worth a look as a streaming option or DFS choice versus the shaky D-Backs lineup.

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Austin Gomber took the loss on Friday when he allowed five runs on seven hits with three walks and two strikeouts across four innings in a 5-4 loss to the Giants. Gomber got off to a rough start in this one, surrendering four runs in the first inning. Wilmer Flores did most of the damage with a three-run homer. Darin Ruf would pick up an RBI single in the bottom of the second to account for the fifth and final run against Gomber. The 27-year-old has been fairly reliable over the last few months but this was a bad day at the office. He now owns a 4.09 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and 100:31 K/BB ratio over 101 1/3 innings (20 starts). He'll look to bounce back against the Padres at home in his next turn.
