Rotowire
Amador went 1-for-1 with a three-run home run, two walks and three total runs scored in Sunday's 13-7 win over the Giants.
Amador made his first start of the year in the majors, playing at second base before being lifted for a defensive replacement in the sixth inning. Amador was called up Wednesday, but it doesn't look like the switch hitter is set to receive significant playing time just yet. He had an .802 OPS over 86 games for Triple-A Albuquerque prior to his promotion.

Rockies' Adael Amador: Summoned to majors
Rotowire
The Rockies recalled Amador from Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.
Amador is in the midst of his third season as a member of the Rockies' 40-man roster, but he had been playing exclusively at Triple-A in 2026 until receiving a call-up Wednesday. The 23-year-old recorded 11 home runs and 11 steals while slashing .261/.370/.432 in 393 plate appearances for Albuquerque, though that still made him a below-league-average producer with a 94 wRC+ in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League. While Amador has been used solely at second base during his time in the majors over the previous two seasons, he's also dabbled at shortstop and left field at Albuquerque in 2026.

Rockies' Adael Amador: On bench Saturday
Rotowire
Amador isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.
After starting both of Colorado's games since being promoted Wednesday and going 0-for-5, Amador will step out of the starting nine Saturday while Kyle Farmer starts at second base and bats ninth.
The Rockies recalled Amador from Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.
Amador will join the 26-man active roster as a replacement for Thairo Estrada (hamstring), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. The Rockies will throw Amador into the lineup for Wednesday's series finale versus the Blue Jays, as he'll take over Estrada's usual spot at second base, per Thomas Harding of MLB.com. The 22-year-old could see regular reps at the keystone while Estrada is out, but Amador has managed just a .180/.253/.256 batting line over 148 career plate appearances at the major-league level.

The 22-year-old was called up by Colorado on Sunday and had a productive few days in the majors, going 5-for-9 with two doubles, three RBI and two runs in three games. Despite the demotion Friday, Amador could soon rejoin the big club with Ryan McMahon being traded to the Yankees.

Rockies' Adael Amador: Another productive performance
Rotowire
Amador went 2-for-3 with two doubles, two RBI and a walk in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Cardinals.
Amador recorded multiple hits for the second game in a row since being recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque. The highly regarded 22-year-old had a rough start to the season, slashing .146/.240/.225 with one homer and five RBI over 33 games before his May 30 demotion. While his .278 average and .373 OBP over 44 Triple-A games are encouraging, his .409 slugging percentage is underwhelming given the hitter-friendly environment. Still, Amador is off to a strong start in his second stint with the Rockies this season and should see steady playing time on a struggling squad.

Rotowire
Amador went 2-for-3 with a run scored Monday against the Cardinals.
The Rockies are dealing with a number of injuries to their middle infield, so Amador was recalled Sunday. He was in the starting lineup one day later at second base while hitting ninth, and he delivered a pair of singles.

The Rockies optioned Amador to Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday.
The 22-year-old is one of the organization's top prospects but struggled in his first extended look at the big leagues this season with a .146/.240/.225 slash line over 102 plate appearances. Amador has just 10 games under his belt at the Triple-A level, so an extended stay at Albuquerque could be in order.
