Rockies Recall Adael Amador from Triple-A Albuquerque

The Colorado Rockies recalled infielder Adael Amador from Triple-A Albuquerque to replace Tyler Freeman, who was placed on the injured list due to an oblique strain. Amador, who batted ninth and started at second base, had a challenging debut against the Padres, going 0-for-3 with a strikeout, although he did show promise defensively. Prior to his call-up, Amador had a strong performance in Triple-A, slashing .275/.408/.450 with two home runs and three stolen bases over 49 plate appearances. The 22-year-old is seen as a potential regular at second base, competing with Kyle Farmer for playing time. Last season, Amador's brief stint in the majors resulted in a disappointing .171 batting average across 10 games, but he is regarded as a promising prospect within the Rockies' organization. The team continues to promote young talent as they seek to improve their offensive output this season.
