Toglia went 1-for-4 with a home run and an additional RBI in Tuesday's loss to Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Toglia got the Rockies on the board in the second inning Tuesday with a solo shot, his third homer of the year. The slugging switch hitter now has at least one hit in nine of his last 12 outings, but Toglia's splits in home and away games could continue to define his overall fantasy appeal. Toglia is batting just .120 with one long ball, one double and four RBI over 50 at-bats on the road, but he's hitting .308 with two round trippers, three doubles and nine RBI across 52 at-bats at Coors Field.

Toglia went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run Saturday against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Toglia has come alive at the plate to begin the Rockies' homestand, collecting five hits across nine games with five RBI in the first two games. He popped his second homer of the season Saturday, taking Hunter Greene yard. Despite the recent success, Toglia is still striking out at a concerning 41.2 percent clip across 94 plate appearances.

Toglia went 3-for-5 with three RBI in Friday's 8-7 loss to Cincinnati.
EDGE Analysis
Toglia tied things up at 4-4 in the third inning on a two-run, ground-rule double, and he drove in a third run in the fifth on an RBI single. It was Toglia's second multi-hit game of the year and the second time he's logged at least three RBI in a game. He's gone 9-for-34 with two walks, two runs scored, one home run and eight RBI over his last 10 games.

Toglia went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in a loss to the Dodgers on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Toglia showed promising power with 25 home runs over 116 games last season, but he came into Wednesday with no long balls and 29 strikeouts over 63 plate appearances this year. He couldn't cure his punchout woes Wednesday -- Toglia struck out three more times -- but he did get off the schneid in terms of power, slugging a grand slam off Bobby Miller in the third inning. Toglia's strikeout rate and .172 batting average remain problematic, but the Rockies have so far remained committed to him, putting him in the lineup at first base on a near-everyday basis.

Toglia went 3-for-4 with an RBI double and a run scored in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Thursday marked just the second multi-hit effort of the year by Toglia, who plated a go-ahead run with a double into deep left-center field in the eighth inning. The switch-hitter has started each of Colorado's first 12 games at first base, but it's been a disappointing start to the season overall by Toglia, who smashed 25 home runs in just 116 outings in 2024. He's batting just .191 with zero home runs, a lone RBI and two walks over 50 plate appearances in 2025.

Toglia will start at first base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
The first baseman began the season as the Rockies' No. 5 hitter, but he's been bumped down a spot for the last two contests while Colorado has moved the hot-hitting Hunter Goodman up in the lineup. Toglia has gotten off to a slow start to the season, going 1-for-15 with eight strikeouts through the Rockies' first four games.

Toglia is on track to open the upcoming season as the Rockies' everyday first baseman, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. "'I'm an everyday player, I want to play every day'...there's a mindset. He has the mindset," manager Bud Black said of Toglia. "The defensive side is real. He's a really good defender. In time he's going to get his due, both inside the game and outside the game. But that takes time."
EDGE Analysis
After winning a spot on the Opening Day roster coming out of camp last spring, Toglia served as a part-time player for the Rockies to begin the season. He split time between first base and right field before he was sent down to the minors April 24 after batting just .106 with 20 strikeouts over his first 15 games. Upon returning to the majors June 6, however, Toglia proceeded to start the Rockies' final 101 games, with the last 90 coming at first base. He hit just .233 following the call-up, but he showcased power (21 home runs) and made a surprising impact on the basepaths with 10 steals. Toglia's high strikeout rate (32.2 percent in 2024) will likely continue to make him a batting-average risk during the upcoming campaign, but after building up his job security with his strong finish to last season, the 26-year-old should be able to pile up plenty of useful counting stats.

Toglia went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, and two RBI on Thursday against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Toglia snapped out of a very short slump, as he entered Thursday's contest with only one hit across 14 at-bats in his last four games. He's enjoyed a breakout season and has picked things up in the second half, maintaining a .340 wOBA and .782 OPS with 35 runs scored and 21 RBI across 62 games.
