The Rockies have agreed to terms with Rutledge on a minor league contract with an invite to Major League Spring Training. The infielder played for three seasons in Colorado from 2012-2014.
Rutledge was drafted in the third round of the 2010 MLB amateur draft and found himself playing second base, shortstop and third base during his three-year run at Coors Field. His best statistical season with the Rockies came in 2012 when he hit eight homers and 37 RBI while batting .274.
His time in Colorado came to an end in December of 2014 when he was traded to the Angels for reliever Jairo Diaz, who is still on Colorado’s 40-man roster.
