This morning, the Colorado Rockies announced the following roster moves:
The decision to sign Nick Martini is not surprising based on his spring training performance and the Rockies preference for veteran players. In 45 plate appearances, he has 14 hits, including two home runs. Although he suffered a minor injury last week that resulted in some arm soreness, it is not expected to affect his play.
The decision to start Zac Veen (No. 4 PuRP) in Triple-A Albuquerque is puzzling, given his spring training performance.
