Overview

  • Interim manager Warren Schaeffer confirmed Dollander will miss Saturday’s start in San Diego and is expected to be placed on the injured list.
  • The right-hander exited Monday’s game at Dodger Stadium after five innings with a left patella tendon strain.
  • He is expected to finish his rookie year at 2–12 with a 6.52 ERA over 21 starts and 98.0 innings, with reports indicating there is little incentive for a late return.
  • His performance split was extreme in 2025, posting a 9.98 ERA at Coors Field compared with a 3.46 ERA on the road.
  • Colorado will call up a replacement starter for Saturday, with MLB Trade Rumors identifying Bradley Blalock as a probable option from Triple-A Albuquerque.
