Brendan Rodgers hasn’t done anything especially dramatic so far this season. He’s just played solid baseball and is steadily evolving into a productive big-leaguer.
“I definitely feel like I have come a long way from a lot of injuries and stuff,” the infielder said Monday before the Rockies played the Angels and superstar Shohei Ohtani at Anaheim, Calif. “I’m feeling more like a part of the team because I’m playing every day and I’m contributing. Those are huge factors.”
Rodgers, the third overall pick in the 2015 draft, made his Rockies debut on May 17, 2019, but played in just 25 games before he underwent surgery on his right (throwing) shoulder.
