- Tomoyuki Sugano, a veteran pitcher signed by the Colorado Rockies this offseason, made his spring training debut against the San Francisco Giants.
- Sugano's main goals for the 2026 season are to pound the strike zone and establish good communication with the Rockies' catchers, especially rising star Hunter Goodman.
- Sugano is joining a veteran-heavy Rockies rotation that includes Kyle Freeland, Michael Lorenzen, Chase Dollander, and Jose Quintana, as the team looks to bounce back from a tough 2025 campaign.
