EDGE Analysis

Fuentes is still recovering from surgery on his hamate bone, though he wasn't likely to break camp with the big-league team even before the procedure. He'll bide his time at the Triple-A level, where he hit a strong .327/.354/.517 last season.

Fuentes advanced to Triple-A Albuquerque in 2018, slashing .327/.354/.517 with 14 home runs and 95 RBI over 135 games. Given his evident potential, the Rockies have elected to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.
