Rockies' Adael Amador: Homer, steal in loss
Amador went 3-for-4 with a homer, a double, a steal and two RBI in Saturday's 6-4 loss to Cincinnati.
The 22-year-old made his third consecutive start at second base and popped his first MLB homer off Hunter Greene in the fifth inning. Amador also pilfered his first bag of the season earlier in the game. The switch hitter should continue to get regular playing time with the Rockies as long as Ezequiel Tovar (hip) remains on the injured list.

Alan Trejo SS | COL
Rockies' Alan Trejo: Traded to Colorado
The Rangers traded Trejo to the Rockies on Saturday for cash considerations, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Trejo, who has spent the entire 2025 season with Triple-A Round Rock, will head to the Rockies and is expected to have his contract selected ahead of Sunday's game against the Reds. It's a return to Colorado for Trejo, who played for the Rockies from 2020 to 2024 before signing a minor-league deal with the Rangers in December. He was slashing .211/.247/.352 with one stolen base and 13 RBI in 77 plate appearances in Triple-A this year.

Rockies' Thairo Estrada: Moves to 60-day IL
The Rockies transferred Estrada to the 60-day injured list Friday.

Rockies' Owen Miller: Selected to MLB roster
The Rockies selected Miller's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.
Miller has slashed .244/.322/.372 with two homers, 13 RBI and 14 runs scored across 90 plate appearances this season in Triple-A, and he'll now be called upon to give the Rockies a bench piece capable of playing all over the infield and in the corner outfield spots. He'll replace Braxton Fulford on the big-league roster and take the 40-man spot of Thairo Estrada (wrist), who was shifted to the 60-day IL.

Lopez is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Seattle.
Lopez will get a chance to regroup Friday after slashing .200/.265/.289 across 49 plate appearances over Miami's last dozen games. His absence will open up second base for Javier Sanoja to start and bat ninth.
