EDGE Analysis

In a flurry of roster moves that saw Tyler Freeman (oblique), Aaron Schunk (groin) and Ezequiel Tovar (hip) all return from the injured list Friday, Bouchard will be sent back to the minors in order to free up space on the big-league roster. The 29-year-old slashed .169/.250/.246 across 72 plate appearances while in the majors and will now look to rediscover his swing in Triple-A.

Bouchard went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Saturday against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Bouchard made only his second start of the season, both of which have come with left-handed starters on the mound. Given his currently limited playing time, it's difficult to justify rostering him in most fantasy formats.

EDGE Analysis

Bouchard had a down 2024 season but entered spring training healthy after undergoing surgery on his hamate bone in early November. Jordan Beck is the favorite to start in right field for the Rockies, but Bouchard has collected eight hits across 18 at-bats while striking out four times early on in the exhibition season.

Bouchard underwent surgery on his hamate bone in early November but enters spring training fully healthy, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

There weren't many details provided about the injury, and it's unclear if the issue contributed to Bouchard's disappointing 2024 season. He was limited to only 108 plate appearances in the majors, during which he posted just a 56 wRC+. He's likely entering spring training as a long shot to start in right field, but he has a chance to earn a roster spot as a reserve outfielder.

Bouchard was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Bouchard will yield his spot on the active roster to Kris Bryant (oblique), who was activated from the 10-day IL in a corresponding move. Bouchard went hitless in six at-bats with four strikeouts during his nine-day MLB stint.

The Rockies recalled Bouchard from Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bouchard's opportunity to return to the big-league club comes as a result of Nolan Jones (back) landing on the 10-day injured list. Bouchard has spent much of the season with Colorado, slashing .200/.307/.318 with a home run, eight RBI and four steals over 102 plate appearances. He was sent down to the minors in late June after battling a back injury, and he hit .357 with a long ball, seven RBI and a steal across seven contests with Albuquerque prior to being recalled.

Bouchard (back) has gone 5-for-11 with two doubles, three walks, four runs and one RBI in three games for Triple-A Albuquerque since the Rockies optioned him June 29.

EDGE Analysis

Before he was optioned to Albuquerque, Bouchard was contending with a back injury, but he has since overcome the health concern. The 28-year-old should continue to play at least semi-regularly at the Triple-A level and will look to perform well enough to earn another look with the Rockies later this season.
