Summary
The Colorado Rockies finished with the worst record in the MLB in 2025 and started the 2026 season with a 2-5 record after a 10-1 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. Mickey Moniak, an emerging star, expressed his desire to turn around the team’s fortunes and end the playoff drought. He was sidelined with a sprained right ring finger for six of the Rockies’ first seven games, but would have considered amputating the finger if it guaranteed a playoff spot.
