Manager Warren Schaeffer told the Colorado beat that he expects Goodman to return when first eligible a week from now (video relayed by <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TroyRenck\/status\/2089829354784370789\" rel=\"nofollow\">Troy Renck of The Denver Post<\/a>). The power-hitting catcher was in last night\u2019s initial lineup but scratched pregame with the shoulder continuing to bother him. He hasn\u2019t made an appearance since August 12. Teams can only backdate an IL placement by up to three days, however.<\/p>\n<p>Colorado obviously doesn\u2019t have a ton to play for at this point in the season, so it\u2019s sensible to take precautions with their best player. Goodman leads catchers and is fifth among all players with 34 home runs. It\u2019s his second straight 30-plus homer season. The Memphis product has 65 combined longballs over the last two years, during which he\u2019s a .266\/.321\/.529 hitter in more than 1000 plate appearances.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/s\/sullibr01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.mlbtraderumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-08-18_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Brett Sullivan<\/a> figures to take over as the primary catcher for the next week. He\u2019s having a decent season in the backup role, batting .244\/.287\/.451 with 19 extra-base hits in 179 trips to the plate. Sullivan has started the last five games as the only healthy catcher on the active roster, so he\u2019ll get a deserved breather with Fulford drawing in tonight against Dodger southpaw\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/l\/lauerer01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.mlbtraderumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-08-18_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Eric Lauer<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Rockies announced they\u2019ve placed star catcher\u00a0Hunter Goodman on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to August 15, with&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":818272,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[41709,99],"class_list":["post-818271","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-hunter-goodman","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/818271","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=818271"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/818271\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/818272"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=818271"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=818271"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=818271"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
