• Rockies' Troy Johnston: Cracks Opening Day roster

  Rotowire Mar 24, 2026

  Johnston made the Rockies' Opening Day roster, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports. Johnston was claimed off waivers by the Rockies in November, and he earned a place on the Opening Day roster with a .973 OPS across 22 spring training games. The 28-year-old is expected to begin the season in a reserve role, but he could get an opportunity for regular playing time at some point given Colorado's lack of established pieces.

• Rockies' Troy Johnston: Goes to Rockies via waivers

  Rotowire Nov 5, 2025

  The Rockies claimed Johnston off waivers from the Marlins on Wednesday. Johnston reached the majors for the first time in 2025 as a 28-year-old and fared well, slashing .277/.331/.420 with four home runs over 121 plate appearances. He can play first base and the corner outfield spots and should have a decent path to playing time on a talent-deficient Rockies roster.

  Johnston went 3-for-5 with a triple, two runs scored and an RBI in Friday's loss to the Mets. Starting in left field and batting seventh, Johnston delivered his fourth multi-hit performance in the last nine games, a stretch in which he's batting .480 (12-for-25) with three runs and four RBI. The 28-year-old has emerged as the Marlins' preferred option in left field against right-handed pitching while still occasionally spotting in at first base or right field, a role he could fill until Kyle Stowers (oblique) gets healthy.
