Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Chase Dollander, 24-year-old RHP for Colorado Rockies, placed on 15-day IL with right elbow sprain after exiting Thursday's game vs Pittsburgh in 2nd inning with arm tightness. MRI revealed minor UCL sprain with inflammation but avoided major injury requiring Tommy John surgery. Dollander expressed relief, calling it "best-case scenario." Expected to miss approximately one month. Prior to injury, Dollander was performing well with 3.35-3.89 ERA, 47 strikeouts in 10 starts, averaging 99 mph fastball velocity. First-round pick (9th overall, 2023) expected to be Rockies' future ace.
