Joe was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Joe has spent a pair of stints on the Rockies' big-league roster but hasn't done much at the plate, hitting .241/.349/.278 with zero homers in 63 plate appearances. The move clears a spot for Jon Gray (elbow) to return from the injured list.

Joe was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Joe was sent to the minors at the beginning of June, but he'll return to the major-league roster after Matt Adams (elbow) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move. The 28-year-old will likely take on a depth role for Colorado going forward.

The Rockies optioned Joe to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Joe had been relegated to a backup role after CJ Cron returned in mid-April, serving as a mostly-ineffective pinch hitter. He yields his roster spot to Alan Trejo, whom the Rockies recalled Tuesday.

Joe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres, AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain reports.

EDGE Analysis

After making his sixth consecutive start at first base in Monday's series opener, Joe will close out the three-game set in San Diego will back-to-back days on the bench. Joe's move to a reserve role coincides with the return of top first baseman C.J. Cron, who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday. With Cron back in action, Joe's brief run of fantasy relevance in NL-only and deeper mixed leagues appears to have come to an end.

Joe went 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles and an RBI in Sunday's 7-6 loss to Cincinnati.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old contributed an RBI double to complete Colorado's five-run rally in the fourth inning. Joe has reached base safely in nine of the 10 games he's appeared in since joining the major-league roster on May 7. While he has yet to hit a home run, he's posted four RBI and two runs scored across 38 plate appearances. He's seen the majority of the playing time at first base in the last week with C.J. Cron (back) still out.

Joe is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Padres, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Joe had started each of the past three games at first base in place of C.J. Cron (back), going 2-for-8 with four walks over that stretch. The left-handed Matt Adams will get the nod at first base for Game 1, and he may end up filling the large side of a platoon at the position with the right-handed Joe until Cron is ready to return from the 10-day injured list.

Joe's contract was selected by the Rockies on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old has appeared in just eight MLB games, all with the Giants in 2019. He went 1-for-15 in limited action, though he does own a strong .298/.414/.500 line in 154 games at the Triple-A level. He'll likely serve as a depth option during his time with the team. Jose Mujica was optioned in a corresponding move.

Joe went 2-for-2 with a three-run home run, two additional runs and two walks in Tuesday's spring win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Joe is in camp as a non-roster invitee and had a somewhat slow start to spring training, but he's now homered in each of the past two games while reaching base five times in six plate appearances across that span. The 28-year-old could have to settle for a minor-league role to start the year but could serve as an option to provide outfield depth at some point in 2021.

Joe signed with the Rockies as a non-roster invitee Friday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Joe underwent surgery for testicular cancer in March, and he was declared free of cancer in July. The 28-year-old was a non-roster invitee with the Dodgers last season, and he'll appear in major-league spring training once again with Colorado. Joe made his major-league debut in 2019 and could appear in the big leages at some point in 2021.

Joe is cancer-free, according to the agency that represents him.

EDGE Analysis

He underwent surgery for testicular cancer in March of 2020 and is fortunately free of cancer, which is excellent news. Joe is not part of the Dodgers' 60-man roster so we won't see him in game action until 2021 at the earliest.
