The Rockies and Nationals probably won’t mind a day of rest. Colorado is off to a 3-15 start this season and recently fired hitting coach Hensley Meulens, replacing him with Clint Hurdle. The Rockies hope to turn around an offensively challenged team that has started 3-15.
Hurdle managed the Rockies from 2002-09, a tenure highlighted by a trip to the World Series in 2007. The 67-year-old Hurdle has been a special assistant to Rockies general manager Bill Schmidt since December 2021.
Washington has a 7-12 record and is coming off two straight losses to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
