The Rockies' young starter faces elbow surgery after UCL damage.
Chase Dollander is expected to require UCL surgery to repair elbow damage, per manager Warren Schaeffer and The Denver Gazette. The Rockies have not finalized surgical plans; Schaeffer said Dollander has one more pre-operation appointment scheduled.
Dollander, 24, was in his second season as a starter for Colorado. Through seven games (one start) in 2026, he had posted a 3–2 record with a 2.25 ERA over 32 innings, striking out 39. The injury ends his season and removes a young arm from the Rockies' rotation depth.
