Farmer is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader with the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis

Farmer went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored Wednesday against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Farmer has gained most of his playing time at second base in the absence of Thairo Estrada (wrist), but he's recently seen work at first base and shortstop while also serving as the designated hitter. He's quietly been one of the few bright spots for the Colorado offense to begin the season, tallying multiple base hits in six of his last 11 starts. Farmer has nine doubles with four RBI and two runs scored in that span.

Farmer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Farmer will take a seat for the series finale after manning second base in the previous two contests while going 4-for-8 with three doubles, one run and one RBI. Tyler Freeman will get the nod at the keystone Sunday, but Farmer still appears to be the Rockies' preferred option.

Farmer is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
Farmer has been the Rockies' primary second baseman while Thairo Estrada (wrist) is recuperating, but he'll begin Thursday's matinee on the bench. Tyler Freeman is at the keystone and batting ninth for Colorado.

Farmer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Tyler Freeman will get the nod at second base in the series finale after Farmer occupied the keystone in the first two games at Tampa Bay, going 1-for-6 with two RBI. Farmer and Freeman could form a timeshare at second base until Thairo Estrada (wrist) is ready to make his season debut.

Farmer is expected to handle the bulk of the second-base reps for the Rockies to begin the season while Thairo Estrada (wrist) is sidelined, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Estrada will miss 4-to-8 weeks after being diagnosed with a fractured right wrist, so Farmer will be given a lengthy look. The 34-year-old slashed only .214/.293/.353 last season with the Twins, but he could be relevant in deeper leagues while playing half his games at Coors Field. If Farmer struggles out of the gate, it could open the door for prospect Adael Amador to get another look.

Farmer agreed to a one-year contract with the Rockies on Friday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Farmer's mutual option for 2025 was declined by the Twins on Oct. 31, causing the 34-year-old shortstop to enter free agency after spending the last two seasons in Minnesota. He mostly served in a reserve role in 2024 behind Carlos Correa, and across 242 plate appearances in 107 regular-season games, Farmer slashed .214/.293/.353 with five home runs and 25 RBI. Farmer will likely serve a similar role in Colorado behind the 23-year-old Ezequiel Tovar.

The Twins declined Farmer's mutual option for 2025 on Thursday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Farmer spent two years with the Twins and was in a reserve role for most of 2024. He managed only 242 appearances across 107 games while recording just a .646 OPS. Farmer's defensive versatility could lead to him receiving a big-league deal this offseason, but he's unlikely to be a regular in most lineups.

Farmer is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Farmer has served as a short-side platoon player for much of the season, but he was included in the lineup in four of the Twins' last five games, with two of those starts coming against right-handed pitching. He'll take a seat against Marlins righty Edward Cabrera on Wednesday, though Farmer's playing-time outlook still appears to have improved with Matt Wallner's (oblique) recent move to the injured list creating an open spot in the lineup.

Farmer is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Farmer drew a rare start against a right-hander (Griffin Canning) in Tuesday's 10-5 win and came through with a big night, going 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk, three RBI and an additional run. Though the home run was his second in as many days and helped bring his OPS up to 1.471 in September, Farmer looks like he'll remain in a short-side platoon role for the Twins.
