• Rockies' Coco Montes: Moves to minors camp

  Rotowire Mar 21, 2024

  The Rockies reassigned Montes to minor-league camp Thursday. Montes lost his spot on Colorado's 40-man roster toward the end of last season and was looking to re-earn a place on the team during spring training. However, he will come up short after going 7-for-26 with four RBI in the Cactus League. Montes will presumably begin the season at Triple-A Albuquerque, where he slashed .317/.400/.550 in 2023.

• Rockies' Coco Montes: Recalled from Triple-A

  Rotowire Jul 31, 2023

  Montes was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday. The 26-year-old second baseman was recalled the same day Brendan Rodgers (shoulder) was activated from the 60-day injured list, so Montes should be assuming a bench role. Montes has hit .184 with one home run in 41 MLB plate appearances but slashed .317/.409/.549 in 73 games in the Pacific Coast League.

• Rockies' Coco Montes: Raps out three hits

  Rotowire Jun 24, 2023

  Montes went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Friday's 7-4 win over the Angels. After going 2-for-3 with a home run in his big-league debut June 11, Montes went 1-for-21 with 10 strikeouts over his next nine games. He was able to snap out of the slump Friday, but he's still batting just .214 with three RBI and two runs scored over 31 plate appearances while sharing time with Harold Castro at second base.

• Rockies' Coco Montes: Smacks homer in debut

  Rotowire Jun 11, 2023

  Montes went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Padres. Montes capped off his first big-league game with a game-tying blast in the eighth inning. The second baseman slashed .321/.401/.560 with 12 homers and 47 RBI over 59 games with Triple-A Albuquerque to earn the promotion, and he'll likely have a chance to see at least a short-side platoon role at the keystone going forward. He'll likely share the position with Harold Castro, but a strong stretch of hitting could earn Montes a larger share of the playing time.

• Rockies' Coco Montes: Gets first big-league call-up

  Rotowire Jun 11, 2023

  The Rockies selected Montes' contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday. Montes has been raking at Albuquerque this season, batting .321 with 12 home runs, 47 RBI, 56 runs and four stolen bases over 282 plate appearances. He'll receive his first call-up to the big leagues and could settle into the short side of a platoon at second base with the lefty-hitting Harold Castro. Colorado optioned Alan Trejo to Albuquerque to clear room on the active roster for Montes.
