The Denver Post's Patrick Saunders reports that Colorado Rockies second base prospect
Adael Amador will be called up from Triple-A Albuquerque for Sunday's series finale at Petco Park against the San Diego Padres, according to a source. The corresponding roster move will likely be outfielder
Tyler Freeman (oblique) going on the 10-day injured list after he was scratched from Saturday's lineup after tweaking his oblique in the batting cage. The 22-year-old Amador is considered Colorado's No. 7 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and will hopefully boost what has been a dormant Rockies offense early in 2025. He was hitting .275/.408/.450 with two homers, fur RBI, three steals and nine runs in 49 plate appearances at Triple-A. Amador should see regular playing time at second for the Rockies. Although he hit just .171 in his MLB debut last year, it was in just 10 games. His power/speed upside could play immediately in mixed fantasy leagues.

Colorado Rockies prospects
Adael Amador and
Drew Romo were both optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday. Amador was having a nice spring, going 8-for-27 (.296) with nine RBI, five runs scored, and an 8:5 BB:K. The switch-hitter is Colorado's seventh-ranked prospect and offers a blend of power and speed. Last season at Double-A, he hit 14 home runs and stole 35 bases in 100 games. Romo got off to a cold start this spring, going 2-for-17 (.118) along with a 1:4 BB:K. The Rockies' 11th-ranked prospect will head back to Triple-A, where he hit .297 with 14 home runs last season. Both had a taste of the majors in 2024, albeit with little success, but Amador offers the better fantasy profile of the two and is likelier to get back to the big leagues sooner, maybe even before summer.

Colorado Rockies second base prospect
Adael Amador has enjoyed a nice power surge this week and has begun to settle in at Double-A since the start of the month. In his past six games, Amador has gone deep three times and tallied one triple with eight RBI. Since the start of the month, the 21-year-old boasts a .292/.346/.521 line. The infielder made his major league debut earlier this season and posted a modest .171/.194/.200 line through 10 games. The switch-hitter currently sits as the No. 6 prospect in the Colorado system and 98th-best in the entire sport on MLB.com. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status at Double-A, as he could earn another taste of the majors down the stretch.

Colorado Rockies middle infield prospect
Adael Amador continued his hot hitting by going 1-for-4 with a solo home run on Wednesday for Double-A Hartford. The home run was his second in as many games for the 21-year-old. Amador is the Rockies No. 2 prospect per MLB Pipeline and is has been scorching hot of late with nine hits over his last 24 at-bats. Amador got a look with the big-league club earlier in the season, but suffered a right oblique injury and eventually returned to Hartford when activated. The Rockies are in a full rebuild, so there stands a chance that Amador will see some time with the big-league club before the season over, but he is more likely to help dynasty managers in the future versus redraft managers in 2024.
