The news broke Saturday morning:
BREAKING: The Colorado Rockies are calling up INF Adael Amador, per sources.
He is the No. 32 prospect in baseball, according to @MLBPipeline. pic.twitter.com/eDb4U8i8BF— Francys Romero (@francysromeroFR) June 8, 2024The arrangement was curious, though.
Yes, the Colorado Rockies had brought top prospect (No. 1 PuRP) Adael Amador to St. Louis to join the team. However, his status remained unclear until the Rockies ascertained the extent of Brendan Rodgers’ hamstring injury suffered Friday. If this were the case, if the Rockies had recalled Amador and not activated him, it would have been strange, even for this organization.
