Cole Carrigg performance and disciplinary issues

Overview

Colorado Rockies prospect Cole Carrigg began the 2026 season with a strong performance, recording a .291 batting average and 31 RBIs through his first 55 professional games. As a highly-ranked prospect, his debut was marked by significant offensive contributions and versatility in center field.

However, Carrigg was later benched following an incident during a game against the Atlanta Braves. After failing to complete a diving catch, Carrigg directed an obscene gesture toward heckling fans. Manager Warren Schaeffer characterized the behavior as an “embarrassment to the organization.” Carrigg issued an apology, stating, “That’s not how I want to represent us,” but remains out of the starting lineup to serve disciplinary consequences.
