Colby (6’6/309) started at right guard all season for Iowa. He shows reliability, playing in 53 games throughout his collegiate career for the Hawkeyes, and giving up just two sacks. As a run blocker, Colby is quick off the ball, but he has average speed. As a pulling guard, Colby is quick to his blocks. He’s not the most fluid with his hips, and his inconsistency with his hands does allow him to get beat at times. Colby posted a 77.3 PFF run blocking grade in 2024. Colby also shows a tone of versatility. He spent time at both guard positions and left tackle. As a pass blocker, Colby has good footwork and is well balanced on his feet. He posted a 66.9 PFF pass blocking grade. He lacks the upper body strength as a pass blocker, and plays high at times, causing him to get pushed around a bit of the line of scrimmage. Overall, Colby’s versatility is what stands out about his game. He has the talent to be a depth piece for the 49ers.

The meeting comes after the Packers selected a wide receiver in the first round for the first time since 2002 in this year’s draft. ESPN’s Adam Schefter added that the team emphasized Reed’s status as the top option at wide receiver after the selection of Matthew Golden and Savion Williams. “Green Bay’s top receiver” means far less for fantasy than it does in other places around the league considering Reed led the team with just 62.6% of the team’s offensive snaps played in 2024.

Fitzgerald has a follow-up appointment on Tuesday, which is when he’ll potentially be cleared to kick off a rehab assignment. The 27-year-old infielder has been out since early May recovering from a left rib fracture. He’ll likely need a couple minor league games to get back up to speed before returning to San Francisco’s lineup.

It doesn’t sound like a massive concern, but the Brewers can’t really afford to take any chances with Brandon Woodruff (shoulder, ankle) no longer an option to return later this week. The 36-year-old veteran southpaw was originally slated to take the ball for Wednesday’s series finale against the Guardians, but that’s no longer happening. Barring an unexpected development, he should be ready for Friday’s showdown against the Twins.

Darvish threw a 48-pitch simulated game last week. Padres manager Mike Shildt indicated that the 38-year-old veteran doesn’t need too much additional time to build up before making his season debut. The club will evaluate him following Monday’s throwing session to determine his next steps. All signs point to him rejoining San Diego’s rotation by the end of the month.

Lively was removed from the contest after throwing a couple warmup tosses at the outset of the fourth inning. The 33-year-old righty scattered one hit and a pair of walks over three frames to open Monday’s game at Progressive Field. There should be an update on his status following the game.

Buehler remains in line to take the ball early next week in a series against the Mets. The 30-year-old righty hit the injured list back on May 2 with shoulder bursitis. His return would likely sent rookie Hunter Dobbins back to Triple-A Worcester.
