Rockies Prospect Charlie Condon Out Several Weeks with Wrist Injury

March 16, 2025 by Last Word On Baseball

Rockies prospect Charlie Condon will miss at least six weeks with a fractured wrist.

Outfielder Charlie Condon, the Colorado Rockies’ third overall pick in the 2024 draft, will have a delayed start to 2025. Per Thomas Harding of MLB.com, Condon suffered a left wrist injury Tuesday when he dove for a catch against the Athletics in his first game this spring. The good news for Colorado and Condon is that there is no structural damage to their number two prospect. The specific injury Condon suffered, per the report, is a radial styloid process fracture. The injury will keep him sidelined for six weeks. Manny Randhawa of MLB.com further reported that Condon has no ligament damage and will not require surgery.

Rockies No. 2 prospect Charlie Condon suffered a non-displaced fracture in his left wrist from a diving attempt on defense yesterday. Director of player development Chris Forbes said there is no ligament damage and no surgery necessary. He’ll wear a splint for 4 weeks, baseball…

Charlie Condon Out Six Weeks

The University of Georgia product has a very high ceiling and has expectations to be the next great Rockies outfielder. With High-A Spokane in 2024, Condon hit .180/.248/.270 with 11 RBI and one homer in 25 games. Despite the injury, the Rockies are thankful that Condon avoided structural damage and surgery.

“It’s probably the best-case scenario,” Rockies director of player development Chris Forbes said, “in the sense that we knew it was a fracture, and we were hoping it was a non-displaced fracture, and that was confirmed this morning. The ligament damage was what we were hoping to avoid, and we did.”

Condon was also relieved that he avoided a more serious injury. “I found out that it was fractured the same day,” “Hearing that today, that it’s nothing but a small fracture — honestly, it’s about as good as it gets as far as a broken bone goes. It was a big-time relief.”

Tough Injury Luck for Rockies Top Draft Picks

The Rockies avoided yet another serious injury to a top draft pick. Fellow promising outfield prospect Zac Veen, drafted ninth overall in 2020, has seen his Rockies debut delayed due to various injuries, limiting him to 46 minor league games in 2023 and 65 last season. The eighth overall pick in 2021, outfielder Benny Montgomery, has also seen his development consistently delayed due to serious injuries. Right-hander Gabriel Hughes, the 10th overall pick out of Gonzaga University in 2022, missed almost all of 2024 due to Tommy John surgery. Hopefully, Condon avoiding a more serious injury is finally a turn of fortune for the Rockies and their top prospects’ health.
