Thu Jul 312:15Hunter Goodman Resting Thursday
Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman is getting a breather for the team's series finale against the visiting Houston Astros. It appears to be a regular day of rest for the right-handed slugger, with fellow backstop Austin Nola getting the start behind home plate and batting eighth. Goodman missed a few days with a hamstring issue recently, but looked no worse for wear when he launched two homers on Tuesday. He's produced well in his third campaign with Colorado and is fresh off a red-hot June in which he slashed .342/.373/.734 with six doubles, two triples, 15 runs scored, and 17 RBI. The 25-year-old has already set a career-high with 16 long balls.

Wed Jul 200:14Hunter Goodman Hits Two More Homers Tuesday
Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman continued his strong offensive season in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Astros. Making his return to action after missing four games with a left-hamstring injury, Goodman went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs and a walk. The 25-year-old got things going early, blasting a first-inning Colton Gordon fastball to straightaway center field. He kept things interesting in the ninth inning, depositing a Josh Hader fastball into the left-center seats to bring the Rockies within one. Goodman has been a bright spot for the Rockies and fantasy managers this season, slashing .290/.337/.532 with 16 HR and 50 RBI in 315 plate appearances. His catcher eligibility gives him an extra boost in fantasy value.

Tue Jul 115:06Hunter Goodman Back Behind the Dish on Tuesday
Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman (hamstring) is back behind the plate to catch rookie right-hander Chase Dollander and will hit second on Tuesday versus the visiting Houston Astros and left-hander Colton Gordon at Coors Field. It looked like Goodman was heading to the injured list with a left-hamstring injury on Tuesday, but he'll return to the field after missing the previous four games. That's music to the Rockies' and fantasy managers' ears, as the 25-year-old is in the midst of a breakout 2025 season, slashing .287/.332/.512 with an .844 OPS, 14 home runs, 48 RBI and 40 runs scored in his 289 at-bats. The right-handed-hitting backstop hasn't been quite as good against lefties, though, batting .237 (18-for-76) against them with three of his 14 long balls on the year. Still, fantasy managers in single-year leagues will want to get him back into their lineups.

Mon Jun 3021:25Hunter Goodman Likely Headed to Injured List
Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman (hamstring) is likely headed to the injured list, reports Christian Saez of TheDNVR.com. The move is expected with reports of catcher Austin Nola likely getting called up before Tuesday's game. Goodman has been dealing with hamstring tightness that has held him out of the lineup since June 25. This is a big blow to the Rockies and fantasy managers who have been relying on the 25-year-old, who has posted a .287 batting average with 14 home runs, 48 RBI, and 40 runs so far in 2025. The good news is that if the injury only requires a minimum stay on the injured list, the slugger will be eligible to return as early as next week.

Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman (hamstring) remains out of the starting nine on Sunday when they conclude a series against the Milwaukee Brewers. Goodman has been dealing with a tight hamstring. The backup has missed each of the last three games and appears to be in danger of being placed on the injured list. Fantasy managers should continue to keep a close eye on his status leading up to their next game on Tuesday against the Houston Astros. Before his injury, Goodman posted an impressive .346/.378/.744 slash line with six doubles, two triples, seven home runs, and 17 RBI over his last 19 games. This afternoon, the Rockies will give Baxton Fulford the starting nod behind the dish. The Rockies are not worth targeting in DFS facing Milwaukee's right-hander Chad Patrick.

Sat Jun 2814:16Hunter Goodman Sitting Again on Saturday

The 25-year-old is slashing .287/.332/.512 with 14 home runs, 48 RBI, and 40 runs scored in 310 plate appearances.

Fri Jun 2721:21Hunter Goodman Dealing With Hamstring Soreness
Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman (hamstring) was out of the starting lineup for the second straight game on Friday. It seemed a bit odd that Goodman was sitting in consecutive games considering how well he has been hitting this season. Now, it's being revealed that Goodman is dealing with hamstring tightness. For the moment, Goodman is considered day-to-day as the organization wants to give him a few days to rest. If it doesn't get better quickly, Goodman could be placed on the injured list. Braxton Fulford will see increased playing time while Goodman is out.

Thu Jun 2612:37Hunter Goodman Sitting Vs. Southpaw
Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman is out of the lineup for Thursday's home series finale with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The hard-hitting 25-year-old will hit the bench again with lefty Clayton Kershaw on the mound. Teammate Braxton Fulford will get the start behind the plate and bat eighth in his stead. Goodman sat out a few days ago as well, but that was against a right-handed hurler, so it appears to be just another day of rest, as there's been no mention of injury. He's been exceptional in June, slashing .342/.373/.734 with six doubles, two triples, seven homers, 17 RBI, and 15 runs scored.

Goodman has been one of the few bright spots for this offense this season. He should be rostered in basically all fantasy formats right now. Braxton Fulford will cover behind the plate and bat eighth versus right-hander Brandon Pfaadt on Sunday.

Wed Jun 1814:11Hunter Goodman, Ryan McMahon on the Bench Against Nationals
Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman and third baseman Ryan McMahon will start Wednesday's game against the hosting Washington Nationals on the bench. Braxton Fulford will do the catching and bat ninth, while Orlando Arcia will start at the hot corner and hit sixth against Nationals left-hander Mitchell Parker. Goodman will get a much-needed day of rest after starting 13 of the team's last 14 games. The 25-year-old backstop is having a breakout season in Colorado and is sporting a .285/.326/.522 slash line with an .849 OPS, 14 homers, 46 RBI and 38 runs scored in 270 at-bats. McMahon, meanwhile, has disappointed with a .222 average (55-for-248) with 11 homers and 24 RBI on the year. DFS managers will want to stay away from both Arcia and Fulford as sleepers. Arcia has one hit in four career at-bats against Parker.

Mon Jun 1621:40Hunter Goodman Homers Twice, Drives in Three
Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman hit two home runs and tallied three RBI in Monday's 6-4 win against the Nationals. This is his second multi-homer game of the month, bringing his total to six home runs in June. On the season, Goodman is now slashing .287/.329/.517 with 13 homers, 43 RBI, and 37 runs. Coming into the day, the 25-year-old was the third most valuable catcher in 5x5 roto leagues, a breakout that no one saw coming. He also benefits from playing almost every single game at either catcher or designated hitter, as he has appeared in 70 of the team's 72 games. That guaranteed playing time in Coors Field makes him a must-start catcher moving forward.

Over that span, the Memphis alum is a scorching 15-for-35 (.428) with five doubles, two triples, four home runs, eight RBI, and eight runs scored.

While it's unlikely that he finishes the season as the second-best catcher, it's safe to say that he is a top-12 option at the position from here on out. The slugger started at DH and hit third in the lineup on Wednesday, which is an arrangement that has helped him accumulate the fourth-most plate appearances among all backstops.

Mon May 2613:15Hunter Goodman Resting in Matinee Game
Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman will take the day off for Monday's series opener at Wrigley Field against the hosting Chicago Cubs. Jacob Stallings will do the catching for left-hander Carson Palmquist and will hit ninth against Cubs right-hander Jameson Taillon. It's a normal day of rest for Goodman, who has suddenly become a must-start fantasy catcher for the worst team in baseball. The 25-year-old former fourth-rounder in 2021 out of Memphis has contributed in all categories except stolen bases, slashing .275/.325/.451 with a .776 OPS, seven home runs, 31 RBI and 25 runs scored in 193 at-bats as Colorado's starting catcher. Expect Goodman to return for Game 2 of the series on Tuesday. Stallings will be a poor DFS choice at catcher in the nine-hole. The 35-year-old is batting just .143 with no homers and has never faced Taillon.

Somewhat surprisingly, the former fourth-round draft pick is the second-highest scoring catcher for fantasy right now, and should continue to be an RBI producer while he's hitting cleanup for Colorado. He can still be found on the waiver wire in over 30 percent of leagues, is OF eligible on Yahoo! as well, and has a seven-game homestand at Coors Field beginningMonday.
