Schunk was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Schunk had been called up Aug. 8 in the wake of Orlando Arcia (elbow) landing on the injured list, but the former will return to the minors with the latter being activated Saturday. Schunk didn't see many opportunities in his latest big-league stint, logging just four hitless plate appearances across five games. Overall this season, Schunk has posted a paltry .407 OPS with 10 strikeouts over 33 plate appearances while up with the big-league club.

The Rockies selected Schunk's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Schunk opted to stay in the Rockies' organization after being DFA'd in late May, and the move seems to have paid off as he'll return to the majors while Orlando Arcia (elbow) goes on the 10-day injured list. Schunk has hit the ball well in Triple-A since the beginning of June, slashing .397/.417/.654 with two steals, five doubles, three triples, three home runs and 18 RBI in 84 plate appearances.

Schunk was sent outright to Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday, per MLB's transactions log.

EDGE Analysis

Schunk was booted from the team's 40-man roster Saturday, and he'll report to Triple-A after being outrighted. The 27-year-old is slashing .299/.347/.522 with three home runs, 16 RBI and nine runs scored through 19 appearances for the Isotopes so far this year.

The Rockies designated Schunk for assignment Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The move corresponds with the Rockies selecting Keston Hiura's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque while optioning Michael Toglia to Triple-A. Schunk saw regular work with the Rockies in late April before landing on the 10-day injured list due to a groin injury. He made 11 major-league appearances for Colorado and went 6-for-28 with one double and a 27.6 percent strikeout rate over that span.

The Rockies optioned Schunk to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old's demotion will create space on the big-league roster for the signing of veteran infielder Orlando Arcia. Schunk has gone 6-for-28 with a double and a run scored in 11 big-league games this season.

The Rockies reinstated Schunk (groin) from the injured list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Schunk went 4-for-14 with a homer and two RBI in four games at Triple-A Albuquerque while working his way back from a groin strain he suffered in late April. The 27-year-old had been starting regularly at shortstop for Colorado before getting hurt, but he's now likely to come off the bench more often with Ezequiel Tovar (hip) also off the injured list.

Schunk (groin) made starts at third base and second base during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque over the weekend, going 2-for-7 with a home run and two RBI.

EDGE Analysis

Schunk appears to be in a similar spot in his recovery from a left groin strain as Ezequiel Tovar (hip) and Tyler Freeman (oblique), both of whom also started in games with Albuquerque on Saturday and Sunday. Since both Schunk and Freeman are projected to handle utility roles once activated from the injured list, the Rockies could option one of the two players to the minors. Before landing on the IL on April 26, Schunk appeared in seven games for Colorado and hit .250 with one run over 21 plate appearances.

Schunk (groin) has resumed baseball activity, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schunk has been sidelined since April 26. He has resumed fielding and batting practice as well as baserunning drills, but a timeline for his return is still unclear.

Schunk was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a left groin strain.

EDGE Analysis

Schunk had moved into a regular role, at least in the short term with Ezequiel Tovar (hip) on the shelf. Back in 2024, Schunk saw the bulk of his work at third base and second base, but with Tovar out, Schunk received all seven of his starts at shortstop. Kyle Farmer and Adael Amador should handle the middle-infield duties until Tovar and or Schunk are healthy.

Schunk went 2-for-7 across both games of Thursday's doubleheader against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Schunk had his contract selected Saturday to replace Ezequiel Tovar (hip), and he has started six of Colorado's seven games at shortstop since. His production hasn't been particularly noteworthy, though he has only two strikeouts across 13 at-bats after punching out three times in his first contest. Schunk appears to be locked into a starting role until Tovar can return.
