• Rockies' Sean Bouchard: Heads to bench Thursday

  Rotowire Apr 25, 2024

  Bouchard is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Padres. Bouchard will give way to Hunter Goodman after starting each of the past four games in right field while going 3-for-13 with two doubles, a walk and a stolen base. While Kris Bryant (back) remains on the injured list, Bouchard should still maintain an edge over Goodman and Jake Cave for a regular lineup spot in the corner outfield.

• Rockies' Sean Bouchard: Steps into starting lineup

  Rotowire Apr 18, 2024

  Bouchard went 1-for-3 with two walks and a run scored Wednesday against the Phillies. The Rockies recalled Bouchard on Wednesday to take the roster spot of Kris Bryant (back), and he immediately started in left field and hit sixth. Nolan Jones and Charlie Blackmon both were on the bench against a lefty, but Bouchard is not likely to be a regular in the lineup against right-handed pitchers.

• Rockies' Sean Bouchard: Returns from Triple-A

  Rotowire Apr 17, 2024

  The Rockies recalled Bouchard from Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday. Bouchard has put up a 1.049 OPS over 14 games with Albuquerque this season. He'll join the Rockies' 26-man active roster as a replacement for Kris Bryant (back), who was moved to the 10-day injured list. Bouchard will start in left field and will bat sixth in Wednesday's game in Philadelphia, but it's unclear if he'll be in store for a regular role while Bryant is on the mend.

• Rockies' Sean Bouchard: Optioned to Triple-A

  Rotowire Mar 26, 2024

  The Rockies optioned Bouchard to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. Bouchard entered spring training as the perceived favorite for the right field job, but he slashed just .209/.314/.349 in Cactus League play and also missed time with an oblique issue. That was enough to cost him a roster spot, at least at the start of the season. The Rockies appear poised to go with a combination of Charlie Blackmon, Jake Cave and Michael Toglia in right field.

• Rockies' Sean Bouchard: Favorite to start in right field

  Rotowire Feb 22, 2024

  Bouchard is the top candidate to start in right field for the Rockies to begin the 2024 season, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports. Brenton Doyle and Nolan Jones will almost certainly account for the majority of at-bats in center and left field, respectively, to begin the season in Colorado. However, there are more significant questions in right field, with Bouchard and Hunter Goodman looking to be the primary options. Saunders suggests that the Rockies desire stability at the position, which could give Bouchard the edge to begin the campaign. In 140 career plate appearances, he's maintained a .432 wOBA, though he's also struck out at a 27.9 percent clip.

• Rockies' Sean Bouchard: Undergoes MRI on biceps

  Rotowire Mar 9, 2023

  Bouchard underwent an MRI on his ailing left biceps after the injury forced him from Wednesday's game, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. Bouchard is hoping for good news when the results come in later Thursday, but imaging being required suggests there's at least some level of concern. The 26-year-old had a big year at Triple-A Albuquerque in 2022 and closed with a strong showing with the Rockies. If healthy, he could have a significant role with the big club in 2023.

  Rotowire Jun 27, 2022

He'll be eligible to return next Monday, as the move can be backdated up to three days, but that may not be on the table unless the strain is a particularly mild one.

• Rockies' Sean Bouchard: Reaches base in debut

  Rotowire Jun 20, 2022

  Bouchard went 0-for-3 with a walk Sunday against the Padres. Bouchard was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday but did not appear in a game until Sunday when he started in left field and hit eighth to make his big-league debut. The 26-year-old doesn't have much prospect pedigree, but he has consistently shown an above-average bat in the minors. Even so, he isn't likely to find regular playing time in Colorado without a significant number of injuries ahead of him.
