Picked up on waivers from the Cleveland Indians in February, Wolters started his second consecutive game at catcher on Friday afternoon as the Rockies opened a six-game road trip with a 6-1 decision over the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. With Todd Hundley still shaking off the effects of a foul ball he took off his catcher’s mask in Wednesday’s win over the San Francisco Giants, Wolters has taken his place behind the dish and is making the most of the situation.
The 23-year-old Wolters stole his third base in two days, going along with a 1-for-4 performance that netted an RBI on Friday.
