The Rockies' fourth overall pick from last year's draft will miss the rest of the 2026 minor league season with a stress fracture in his left foot.

Rockies shortstop prospect Ethan Holliday has been diagnosed with a stress fracture in his left foot and will require surgery, ending his 2026 season. The 19-year-old was the fourth overall pick in the 2025 draft and son of former Rockies star Matt Holliday. He had shown improvement in his first full Low-A season, cutting his strikeout rate and slashing .292/.395/.557 with nine home runs before the injury.

Quintana Shifted to 60-Day IL With Elbow Sprain

Colorado's veteran starter is sidelined for at least two months after an elbow sprain, effectively ending his value as a trade deadline asset.

The Rockies officially transferred Jose Quintana from the 15-day to the 60-day injured list due to an elbow sprain first diagnosed Monday. Surgery is not currently expected, but the ligament damage means he won't return until late July at the earliest. The move opens a 40-man roster spot, with Jeff Criswell reinstated from the 60-day IL and optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque. Quintana's absence likely removes him from consideration as a trade deadline target this summer.
