#Rockies make three moves despite lacking a GM:

DH Kris Bryant activated from 60-Day IL
RHP Jeff Criswell activated from 60-Day IL
1B/OF Troy Johnston claimed off waivers

Johnston, 28, is a left-handed bat who hit .277 with a .750 OPS with Miami as a rookie this season.

On this date in 2007, Matt Holliday went 4-for-4 for Colorado in Game 2 of the World Series.

Holliday became only the 11th visiting player with 4+ hits at Fenway Park during a playoff game.

Last player do it: former Rockie Larry Walker in the 2004 World Series with St. Louis.

Once Roki Sasaki appears for the Los Angeles Dodgers, we'll have three Japanese-born players in the same World Series (also: Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto).

The last and only other time was 2007: Boston's Daisuke Matsuzaka and Hideki Okajima and Colorado's Kaz Matsui.

The 2025 Toronto Blue Jays do what the 2015-16 team helmed by Troy Tulowitzki couldn’t.

Win the ALCS and reach the World Series.

A decade later, the final three outs come courtesy of Jeff Hoffman, the top prospect included in the trade that brought Tulo over from the Rockies.

#Rockies save their best for the last, winning the final home game the season, a 3-1 win over the Angels.

Kyle Freeland earns the win, Victory Vodnik picks up his 10th save and Blaine Crim provides the offense with a homer and 2 RBI.

That’s the second Rockies player to win NL POTW in the last six week.
#Rockies Hunter Goodman is the NL Player of the Week for Sept. 1-7.

The franchise record holder for most homers by a catcher batted .476 (10-for-21) with three home runs, 10 RBI and a 1.500 across five games.

#Rockies top prospect Ethan Holliday has his second homer in four games.

Holliday’s 3-for-3 night (triple shy of the cycle) is capped by a 423 ft blast off Hyun-Seok Jang, Dodgers 8th-best pitching prospect according to MLB Pipeline.

Tanner Gordon became the second #Rockies pitcher to ever allow at least 17 runs and 23 hits in a two-start span earlier this month.

Now, he's gone toe-to-toe with Shohei Ohtani and Hunter Brown and more than held his own in back-to-back starts:

12 IP, 10 H, 2 R, 4 BB, 8 K
