Dollander's hand issue on Wednesday afternoon was a broken finger nail on the middle finger of his pitching hand, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post clarified on The High Stakes Fantasy show with Tom Kessenich and Jeff Erickson on SiriusXM Fantasy Radio on Wednesday night.

EDGE Analysis

Dollander was pitching a gem against Atlanta but the broken finger nail left his hand "... a bloody mess ...." Dollander remains tentatively lined up to face the Tigers on Tuesday next week.

Dollander was removed in the sixth inning of his start Wednesday against Atlanta due to an apparent blister on his pitching hand, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

If the Colorado bullpen can put the clamps on Atlanta, Dollander will be in line for his second win after departing with a 2-1 lead. Before developing the blister and getting pulled from the game, Dollander had been cruising through his fifth career start, limiting Atlanta to one earned run on two hits and three walks while striking out four in 5.2 innings. Dollander tentatively lines up to make his next start during next week's series with the Tigers, though with an off day looming Monday, the Rockies could push him to the back of their pitching schedule if he needs more time for the blister to heal.

Dollander (1-3) took the loss against the Royals in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader, allowing five runs on seven hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

It was another tough outing for Dollander, who's now allowed four or more runs in three of his first four big-league starts. The 23-year-old rookie sports a 7.91 ERA with a 1.71 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB through 19.1 innings this year. Dollander currently lines up for a home matchup with the Athletics in his next start.

Dollander (1-2) took the loss against the Nationals on Saturday, allowing nine runs (six earned) on nine hits and two walks with five strikeouts over four innings.

EDGE Analysis

It was a disastrous outing for Dollander, who surrendered four home runs and 11 total hard-hit balls. The long ball has plagued the rookie, as he now leads the majors with eight home runs allowed across three starts. He'll carry a 7.36 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 18:5 K:BB through 14.2 innings into a road matchup with the Royals next week.

Dollander will have his start pushed back after Friday's game between the Nationals and Rockies was postponed due to inclement weather.

EDGE Analysis

The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader Sunday. Dollander will now take the ball Saturday as the Rockies readjust their rotation.

Dollander (1-1) took the loss against San Diego on Saturday, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out seven batters over 5.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

There were plenty of positives to be taken from Dollander's performance -- he racked up 10 whiffs, punched out seven and allowed just three hits. However, two of the knocks were homers, and Colorado couldn't put any runs on the board, resulting in Dollander taking his first loss as a big-leaguer. The rookie has given up four home runs over 10.2 frames to begin his MLB career, but he's otherwise looked pretty solid with a 13:3 K:BB.
