The Colorado Rockies’ prospects get their turn in a Saturday evening matchup with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The Rockies announced their 2026 roster earlier in the week. Among the group are familiar faces like Cole Carrigg ( no. 4 PurP ) and Zac Veen ( no.
9 PuRP ). Carrigg makes his third straight Spring Breakout appearance, while Veen rejoins the roster after being included in 2024 but not 2025 when he was busy battling for a spot on the Major League roster. The two headliners drumming up the most excitement, locally and nationally, are Charlie Condon ( no.
1 PuRP ) and Ethan Holliday ( no. 2 PuRP ). Our 2026 Spring Breakout Roster.
