Amador went 0-for-3 with a strikeout Sunday against the Padres.

Amador was summoned to the majors Sunday as Tyler Freeman (oblique) landed on the injured list and Amador hit ninth while starting at second base. While he didn't make an impact with the bat, he did make a nice play with his glove. It's unclear how much Amador will play as Kyle Farmer has served as Colorado's primary second baseman, but Amador possesses an intriguing power-speed profile and is capable of making consistent contact.

Koss went 1-for-4 with a run scored during Sunday's 5-4 win over the Yankees.

Koss started at second base for the third time this season, recording his first big-league hit before coming around to score on a three-run home run by Jung Hoo Lee in the sixth frame. Koss has played in five games during the 2025 campaign, scoring two runs across 11 plate appearances. The 27-year-old infielder is slashing .100/.182/.100 with a 1:4 BB:K so far this season.

Rojas (toe) is still experiencing pain while moving side to side in cleats, MLB.com reports.

Rojas hasn't made much progress in his recovery from a hairline fracture, though it was noted that he felt okay doing work on turf. He isn't expected to be able to return until early May.

Julien went 1-for-4 with a home run in Sunday's victory over the Tigers. He started at second base and hit leadoff.

Julien has been improving at the plate and gaining more playing time in the last week. He's hitting .380 (8-for-21) with a home run over his last eight games. He could stay in the leadoff role against right-handed pitching if he stays hot.

Schneemann went 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Royals.

Schneemann was involved in a "little-league home run" in the second inning when his run-producing double led to an errant throw, allowing him to score. The double snapped an 0-for-15 run for Schneeman, who has just two hits and is batting .091.

Espinal went 2-for-4 with two RBI in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Pirates.

Espinal got the scoring started Sunday with a two-run single in the third inning that brought home Austin Wynns and TJ Friedl. It was Espinal's first RBI of the season, and he's gone 5-for-15 over his last four starts.

Semien is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Semien will get his first day off this season after starting at second base and leading off in each of Texas' first 15 games. With Semien getting off to a 5-for-38 start to April, he stands to benefit from a chance to clear his head. Designated hitter Joc Pederson will assume leadoff duties, while Josh Smith fills in for Semien at second base.

The Mariners transferred Bliss (biceps) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.

Bliss is expected to miss up to five months after he underwent surgery Friday to repair a left biceps tear, so his move to the 60-day IL won't affect his timeline. The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for infielder Ben Williamson, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Tacoma.

Rodgers (hip) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

He'll be on the bench for the third game in a row while he manages a sore left hip. Houston is viewing Rodgers as day-to-day. Mauricio Dubon will take over the keystone Sunday.

The Rockies recalled Amador from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday. He will start at second base and bat ninth in the Rockies' series finale against the Padres.

Amador will join the Rockies' 26-man active roster as a replacement for Tyler Freeman, who was placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left oblique strain. The 22-year-old infielder previously hit .171 over 10 games in his first taste of the big leagues last season, but he's gotten off to a hot start to the campaign at Triple-A, slashing .275/.408/.450 with two stolen bases, nine runs scored, two home runs and four RBI across 49 plate appearances. Kyle Farmer has served as the Rockies' primary option at the keystone so far this season, but Amador could end up getting a look in a near-everyday role while he's up with the big club.
