    • Batting eighth in MLB debut
      The Rockies called up Amador from Double-A Hartford, and he'll start at second base and bat eighth Sunday at St. Louis.

      Advice: The 21-year-old is taking the roster spot of Brendan Rodgers (hamstring), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday. Amador is one of the organization's top prospects, and he'll make his MLB debut without seeing action at the Triple-A level. Amador's .666 OPS in 208 plate appearances for Hartford this season isn't encouraging, though he carried a hot bat over his past nine games and had a .359/.422/.846 slash line with six home runs and six stolen bases.

    • Rockies recall top prospect Amador from Double-A
      Rockies recalled INF Adael Amador from Double-A Hartford.

      Advice: As expected, Amador is up from Double-A to take the roster spot of Brendan Rodgers after Rodgers was placed on the injured list. He’ll hit eighth and play second base in his MLB debut Sunday. Amador is the top hitting prospect in the Colorado system, and while he’s registered just a .664 OPS thus far in Double-A, he’s been much better with the bat as of late with six homers in his last 10 games. There’s some serious risk with a 21-year-old coming up from Double-A, but there’s potential for reward as well. Rotoworld Today, 8:27 am
       
    • Giants option Tyler Fitzgerald back to Triple-A
      Giants optioned INF/OF Tyler Fitzgerald to Triple-A Sacramento.

      Advice: Fitzgerald gets the boot from the roster to make room for Keaton Winn, with Winn coming off the injured list from his forearm injury. Fitzgerald will likely be back at some point, but he’s just organizational depth at this stage. Rotoworld Today, 8:14 am
       
    • Returns to Triple-A
      Fitzgerald was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

      Advice: The 26-year-old was originally in the lineup for Sunday's series finale in Texas but will instead lost his place on San Francisco's roster. Fitzgerald has been a solid bench piece for the Giants this season with a .273/.333/.409 slash line in 72 plate appearances, but for now he'll head back to the minors.

    • Set for MLB debut
      Amador will be recalled from Double-A Hartford on Sunday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: With Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) on his way to the 10-day injured list, Amador will get his first crack at big-league action. The 21-year-old hasn't made it past Double-A yet and although he owns a .194 batting average this season at Hartford, Amador is 14-for-39 (.359) with six home runs and six stolen bases in his last nine games. He figures to share playing time with Alan Trejo at second base. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:44 pm
       
    • Adael Amador joins Rockies on taxi squad for now
      MLB.com’s Thomas Harding reports Rockies top prospect Adael Amador has joined the club in St. Louis, but no decision has been made whether to officially recall him for his major-league debut.

      Advice: Independent journalist Francys Romero reported earlier Saturday that Amador, who has homered six times over his last nine games for Double-A Hartford, was being called up for his debut. That’s on hold at least for the moment with Harding adding that the Rockies are waiting to determine whether Brendan Rodgers hamstring strain is severe enough to require a trip to the injured list. Amador has joined Colorado’s taxi squad, and it’s still possible he could be officially recalled in the coming days. However, for the moment, it doesn’t sound like his debut is imminent. We’ll have additional updates on the developing situation as it unfolds. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:50 pm
       
    • Joining taxi squad
      Amador joined the Rockies in St. Louis on Saturday, though the team has yet to formally call him up from Double-A Hartford, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Amador sports a .666 OPS through 208 plate appearances this season with Hartford, but he has slashed .326/.388/.767 with six homers and 14 RBI while also stealing six bases across his last 10 games. With the Rockies waiting to see if Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) will require a trip to the injured list, Amador will remain on the club's taxi squad for the time being. He would likely return to Double-A if Rodgers is able to make a quick recovery. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:04 pm
       
    • Report: Rockies calling up prospect Adael Amador
      Independent journalist Francys Romero reports the Rockies are calling up top prospect Adael Amador.

      Advice: Amador has been sizzling-hot of late for Double-A Harford, batting .359 with six homers over his last nine games, on the heels of a frosty start to the year. The 21-year-old prodigy possesses excellent bat-to-ball skills, which should lead to high batting averages in Colorado, and is starting to show some additional over-the-fence pop. It’s unclear how long he’ll remain in the majors, but he figures to be worthy of a speculative pickup in deeper mixed leagues. Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:50 am
       
    • Could deploy at 3B
      Arizona manager Torey Lovullo is considering giving Alexander more looks at third base, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

      Advice: With Geraldo Perdomo (knee) due back in the coming days, Lovullo is evaluating potential roster decisions to accommodate his return. Perdomo's pending return puts a focus on Alexander and Kevin Newman. Alexander, who has made four appearances (two starts) at third base over the last 13 games, went 10-for-21 over a five-game hitting streak that ended Friday. At some point, the Diamondbacks may look for options to spell starting third baseman Eugenio Suarez, whose average has dropped to .198, while he is 2-for-23 over the last seven games.
