Amador went 3-for-4 with a homer, a double, a steal and two RBI in Saturday's 6-4 loss to Cincinnati.
The 22-year-old made his third consecutive start at second base and popped his first MLB homer off Hunter Greene in the fifth inning. Amador also pilfered his first bag of the season earlier in the game. The switch hitter should continue to get regular playing time with the Rockies as long as Ezequiel Tovar (hip) remains on the injured list.

Rockies' Antonio Senzatela: Suffers fourth loss
Rotowire
Senzatela (1-4) took the loss Saturday against the Reds, allowing four runs on eight hits and no walks over five innings. He struck out four.
The Colorado right-hander yielded a season-worst three homers, as he allowed four or more runs for the third time in his four starts. Senzatela remains a bottom-of-the-barrel fantasy option, sporting an unsightly 5.22 ERA, 1.87 WHIP 13:5 K:BB across 29.1 innings. He has allowed an MLB-worst 50 hits this season. Senzatela is currently slated to make his next start against the Giants on the road next weekend.

Rockies' Alan Trejo: Traded to Colorado
Rotowire
The Rangers traded Trejo to the Rockies on Saturday for cash considerations, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Trejo, who has spent the entire 2025 season with Triple-A Round Rock, will head to the Rockies and is expected to have his contract selected ahead of Sunday's game against the Reds. It's a return to Colorado for Trejo, who played for the Rockies from 2020 to 2024 before signing a minor-league deal with the Rangers in December. He was slashing .211/.247/.352 with one stolen base and 13 RBI in 77 plate appearances in Triple-A.
Manager Bud Black said Saturday that Tovar (hip) is 7-to-10 days from returning, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Tovar was placed on the 10-day IL on April 19 with a hip contusion. The Rockies were already down Thairo Estrada (wrist) in the middle infield, and Aaron Schunk (groin) landed on the shelf Saturday. In the meantime, Kyle Farmer and Adael Amador figure to play regularly in the middle infield.

Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Back in lineup
Rotowire
Doyle (personal) will start in center field and bat leadoff Saturday against the Reds, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.
Doyle sat out Friday's series opener for personal reasons, but he's back in the starting nine Saturday. The 26-year-old is having a nice year at the plate so far, slashing .295/.353/.492 with 13 RBI, eight runs scored and two steals through 16 games.

Rockies' Braxton Fulford: Back in majors
Rotowire
Fulford was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday.
He was optioned just Friday but was quickly added back to the active roster after Aaron Schunk (groin strain) landed on the injured list. This will free up Hunter Goodman for more work at designated hitter in the short term. Fulford has one home run and five strikeouts in eight MLB plate appearances.

Rockies' Aaron Schunk: Heads to IL
Rotowire
Schunk was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a left groin strain.
Schunk had moved into a regular role, at least in the short term with Ezequiel Tovar (hip) on the shelf. Back in 2024, Schunk saw the bulk of his work at third base and second base, but with Tovar out, Schunk received all seven of his starts at shortstop. Kyle Farmer and Adael Amador should handle the middle-infield duties until Tovar and or Schunk are healthy.
Goodman went 2-for-3 with two walks, two doubles and three runs scored Friday against the Reds.
Goodman's production has come in waves this season, but he's performed well across his last 10 games. He had at least one hit in eight of his last nine games entering Friday, going 9-for-33 with two home runs, six RBI and six runs scored over that span. Goodman's production also hasn't come solely thanks to Coors Field.

Rockies' Kyle Freeland: Gives up six runs in no-decision
Rotowire
Freeland did not factor into the decision in Friday's 8-7 loss to the Reds, allowing six runs on 10 hits and one walk while striking out four over 4.1 innings.
It was another rough outing for Freeland, who allowed at least three baserunners in three of his five innings. He's given up at least five earned runs in three of his last four outings and has given up 20 earned on the season, which is second most among qualified starters in the National League behind German Marquez (21). Freeland will look to turn things around in his next start, which is lined up for next week on the road against the Giants.

Rockies' Michael Toglia: Drives in three runs Friday
Rotowire
Toglia went 3-for-5 with three RBI in Friday's 8-7 loss to Cincinnati.
Toglia tied things up at 4-4 in the third inning on a two-run, ground-rule double, and he drove in a third run in the fifth on an RBI single. It was Toglia's second multi-hit game of the year and the second time he's logged at least three RBI in a game. He's gone 9-for-34 with two walks, two runs scored, one home run and eight RBI over his last 10 games.

Rockies' Jordan Beck: Belts two solo homers Friday
Rotowire
Beck went 2-for-3 with two walks and two solo home runs in Friday's 8-7 loss to the Reds.
Beck continued to mash the ball out of the park Friday. He now has five homers on the year, all of which have come over his last three games. He hasn't just been exploiting Coors Field, either -- the first three long balls came at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, which isn't known as a hitter's park. Beck's recent display of power could keep him in the Rockies' lineup even when Brenton Doyle (personal) returns.
Doyle is not in the Rockies' starting lineup against the Reds on Friday due to personal reasons, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Doyle played in both games of Thursday's doubleheader against Kansas City and went 1-for-6 with three walks, a run scored and a stolen base. He had been out of the lineup since April 10 due to a quadriceps injury and a stint on the bereavement list, and the 26-year-old outfielder will be out of Friday's lineup while attending a personal matter. Jordan Beck, Mickey Moniak and Sean Bouchard will man the outfield for the Rockies.

Rockies' Thairo Estrada: Moves to 60-day IL
Rotowire
The Rockies transferred Estrada to the 60-day injured list Friday.
Estrada has been on the injured list since Opening Day due to a fractured right wrist, and his move to the 60-day IL will ensure he remains out until at least late May. Owen Miller was selected to the active roster Friday in a corresponding move.

Rockies' Braxton Fulford: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Rockies optioned Fulford to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.
Fulford was promoted to the majors April 14 and smacked his first big-league home run this past Sunday against the Nationals. He appeared in four games (two starts) for the Rockies as the third catcher behind Hunter Goodman and Jacob Stallings. Colorado selected Owen Miller's contract from Albuquerque in a corresponding move.

Rockies' Owen Miller: Selected to MLB roster
Rotowire
The Rockies selected Miller's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.
Miller has slashed .244/.322/.372 with two homers, 13 RBI and 14 runs scored across 90 plate appearances this season in Triple-A, and he'll now be called upon to give the Rockies a bench piece capable of playing all over the infield and in the corner outfield spots. He'll replace Braxton Fulford on the big-league roster and take the 40-man spot of Thairo Estrada (wrist), who was shifted to the 60-day IL.

Rockies' Nick Martini: Out versus left-hander
Rotowire
Martini is not in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Reds.
It's southpaw Andrew Abbott on the bump for the Reds, so the left-handed-hitting Martini will begin the festivities on the bench. Jordan Beck and Mickey Moniak will handle corner-outfield duties for the Rockies.

Rockies' Kyle Farmer: Not in Friday's lineup
Rotowire
Farmer is absent from the lineup for Friday's game versus the Reds.
The Rockies will go with Adael Amador at second base and Aaron Schunk at shortstop. Farmer is 0-for-16 at the plate over his last five contests.
