The Day After: Dom Nuñez on his first start in the major leagues

DENVER — After the Rockies parted ways with veteran Chris Iannetta, they called upon catching Dom Nuñez to take his place on the active roster. Nuñez, much like Tony Wolters, was drafted as an infielder but has converted to catcher and has worked really hard to make the transition. After hitting .244/.362/.559, with some help from Drew Butera on the defensive side, Nuñez seems finally ready to make an impact on this roster. He went 1-for-4 in his Tuesday night debut, with two high pop ups and a 417-foot home run to the bullpen.
