Last week marked the start of the Colorado Rockies’ Arizona Complex League and Dominican Summer League seasons. The DSL Rockies went 3-3 in their first week while the ACL Rockies were limited to just three games due to COVID-19 protocols. The lone victory from the ACL squad was credited to Jordy Vargas (No. 21 PuRP) who impressed in his stateside debut with eight strikeouts and one run allowed in five innings.
It was an up-and-down week for the full-season affiliates. The Albuquerque Isotopes lost four of six games against El Paso (SD) in an unusual home-and-home split series, with three games being played in Albuquerque.
