This afternoon, the Colorado Rockies announced a series of roster moves:
Colorado Rockies Roster Moves (16 May 2025)
Colorado Rockies
The promotion of Carson Palmquist (No. 9 PuRP) was not unexpected based on reporting yesterday from Thomas Harding.
The return of infielders Tyler Freeman (oblique injury), Aaron Schunk (groin injury), and Ezequiel Tovar (hip injury) moves the Rockies closer to becoming the team they had hoped to be when the 2025 season opened though Thairo Estrada continues to recover from a wrist injury.
Sean Bouchard and Anthony Molina both return to Albuquerque.
In 72 plate appearances, Bouchard is slashing .169/.250/.246 (29 wRC+). Molina, meanwhile, was brought into relieve an exhausted bullpen. He has pitched one inning for the Rockies.
Owen Miller and Alan Trejo were designated for assignment.
During the offseason, the Rockies traded for Miller from the Milwaukee Brewers. In 17 plate appearances, he has slashed .143/.294/.143 (29 wRC+).
Trejo is familiar to Rockies fans. The Rockies traded for him with the Texas Rangers when their inventory of middle infielders was completely depleted. Since returning to the Rockies, Trejo has slashed .175/.190/.225 (-2 wRC+).
Notably, second baseman Adael Amador will remain with the Rockies, presumably until Thairo Estrada has fully recovered.
The Rockies have one open spot on the 40-man roster.
