Kemp will begin the season on the Rockies' major-league roster.

EDGE Analysis

Kemp signed a minor-league contract with the Rockies at the end of June, but he impressed enough as part of the team's 60-man roster to earn a spot on the expanded major-league roster to begin the season. The 35-year-old could carve out some playing time this season with Ian Desmond sitting out this year and with the addition of the designated hitter in the National League.
