Zac Veen Set for MLB Debut with Rockies Against Brewers

The Colorado Rockies have called up 23-year-old outfielder Zac Veen from Triple-A Albuquerque to make his major-league debut against the Milwaukee Brewers. Veen, who was a first-round pick in 2020 but faced injuries that hindered his progress, has been performing well in the minors, boasting a .387 batting average with one home run and eight RBIs in just eight games this season. His addition is part of the Rockies' youth movement, following the debut of top pitching prospect Chase Dollander. Veen is expected to play regularly in right field, as the team looks to build momentum after ending a six-game losing streak. Manager Bud Black acknowledged Veen's potential but noted the need for further development before full-time play in the majors. In a related move, outfielder Jordan Beck will be sent back to Triple-A to make room for Veen on the roster.
