    Rockies' Aaron Schunk: Taking advantage of opportunity

    Aaron Schunk went 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored Thursday against the Cardinals.Schunk has started three straight games at second base with Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) sidelined and has taken advantage by collecting multiple hits in each contest. Overall, he's gone 6-for-10 with four runs scored and four RBI. Schunk hasn't gotten regular playing time since being promoted to the majors June 29, but he could make a case for playing time in 2025 with a continued strong finish and a good showing in spring training.

    Rockies' Aaron Schunk: Goes yard in loss

    Rockies' Aaron Schunk: Clobbers first homer in win

    Aaron Schunk went 2-for-3 with a solo homer and a walk in Wednesday's win over the Marlins.The 27-year-old walked in his first trip to the plate and advanced to second on an infield single from Charlie Blackmon, but the infielder would be left stranded after the next three batters went down in succession. Schunk came up big in his second at-bat, however, launching a 429-foot solo homer in the fifth to put the Colorado Rockies on top 3-2. He went on to reach three times in the contest while logging his third multi-hit performance of the campaign. It also marked Schunk's first long ball of the season, and he's now recorded an RBI in each of his last two starts.

    Rockies' Aaron Schunk: Returns to utility role

    Aaron Schunk is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.Schunk had made starts on the left side of the infield over the past three games, going 2-for-11 with a double, a walk and a run. His first start came Sunday while Ezequiel Tovar sat out due to an illness, while Schunk filled in for Ryan McMahon at third base Monday and Tuesday while McMahon tended to a jammed finger. Both McMahon and Tovar are healthy again and part of the lineup Wednesday, so Schunk will move back into a utility role.

    Rockies' Aaron Schunk: First multi-hit game

    Aaron Schunk went 2-for-5 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Monday's extra-innings win over the Red Sox.Schunk has only started six of 19 games since being promoted for his big-league debut, and he's accrued just 23 plate appearances as a result. The initial return isn't promising, as he's hitting just .136 with a 34.8 percent strikeout rate, though the uneven playing time likely isn't helping him settle in. Schunk also managed the first multi-hit game of his career Monday.

    Rockies' Aaron Schunk: Debuts as pinch hitter

    Aaron Schunk went 0-for-1 on Saturday against the White Sox.Schunk entered Saturday's game as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning to make his major-league debut.

    Rockies' Aaron Schunk: Contract selected by Colorado

    The Colorado Rockies selected Aaron Schunk's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.Schunk posted an .811 OPS in his first taste of the Triple-A level in 2023 and has followed up with a .291/.339/.469 slash line through 69 contests this year. That production has come in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League, so those numbers can't be taken at face value. Schunk will be making his big-league debut when he gets into a game, and he should see some playing time between second and third base while up with the Rockies, though those opportunities could be limited with both Brendan Rodgers and Ryan McMahon currently healthy.

    Rockies' Aaron Schunk: Taking advantage of PCL

    Aaron Schunk is slashing .300/.354/.567 with six home runs and a 29.3 percent strikeout rate in 99 plate appearances for Triple-A Albuquerque.A second-round pick in 2019, Schunk has split time between third base (his natural position) and second base for the Isotopes. He generated buzz a couple years ago after a strong debut in 2019 and positive reports from the alternate training site during the pandemic. This could be a post-hype breakout, but as a 25-year-old with an elevated strikeout rate playing in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League, Schunk offers several reasons to doubt whether he would have success against big-league pitching.
