Adames was practicing at first base Monday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The switch-hitting utility man seems to be pretty low on the pecking order compared to Mark Reynolds, Jordan Patterson, and Stephen Cardullo, but this development could add some value to his game as he attempts to win a reserve super utility job out of spring training. Alexi Amarista also seems to have that market cornered, but given Adames' outstanding Cactus League showing thus far (1.010 OPS, two home runs in 27 plate appearances), he could force the Rockies to open up a spot for him in Denver.
