Tovar sheds sweets while striving to bake up a big 2026

December 29, 2025

DENVER -- The workout cliché “no pain, no gain” hits Rockies shortstop Ezequiel Tovar in a different way than most. We’re not talking sore muscle, weight room stuff, although the 24-year-old is putting in that work at a fitness center near his offseason home of Miami after a left hip
