Scouting Report
Updated May 20, 2026
Ryan Feltner (Colorado Rockies RHP) suffered right ulnar nerve inflammation and was placed on the 15-day IL on April 25, 2026. He has progressed through his recovery protocol, completing light catch sessions (175 feet), a full-go bullpen session, and live batting practice. He is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Hartford in mid-May and is expected to be reinstated from the IL in mid-to-late May. Manager Warren Schaeffer indicated a rehab assignment will be necessary despite Feltner's initial belief otherwise.
