Colorado Rockies
The Colorado Rockies lost two out of three games against New York (AL) over Memorial Day weekend and have a record of 9-46 this season. They are 2-8 in their last ten games and will start right-hander Tanner Gordon against Chicago. Gordon has had mixed performances this season, with a strong outing against the Yankees but a rough appearance against Detroit. The Rockies have struggled in a competitive National League West division, with key players underperforming and the recent firing of manager Bud Black not leading to improvements. Despite their struggles, the team is injury-free for Wednesday's game against the Cubs. The Rockies rank 29th in offense, 30th in defense, and have a power ranking of 30 in the league.
