The first half of the Rockies’ 2025 season was miserable, and that’s an understatement. But at least it was eventful. That’s also an understatement.
On their way to an 18-63 start — the worst first-half record in the modern era — the Rockies:
• Lost Gold Glove shortstop Ezequiel Tovar for most of the first half, first because of a bruised hip, and now because of a strained oblique. Tovar played in only 32 of the first 81 games.
• Saw Kris Bryant — officially diagnosed with lumbar degenerative disc disease — play in just 14 games.
