Adael Amador - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Homers in first start of season 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.

Impact 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.

Summoned to majors The Rockies recalled Amador from Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.

Impact 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.

Recalled, starting Wednesday The Rockies recalled Amador from Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.

Impact Amador is absorbing the roster spot vacated by Thairo Estrada (hamstring), and he is also starting at second base Wednesday versus the Blue Jays in Estrada's stead. The 22-year-old has managed just a .180/.253/.256 batting line over 148 contests at the major-league level. Amador could see regular reps at the keystone while Estrada is shelved.

Recalled, starting Wednesday The Rockies recalled Amador from Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.

Impact 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.

Demoted Friday The Rockies optioned Amador to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

Impact 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.

Another productive performance Amador went 2-for-3 with two doubles, two RBI and a walk in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Cardinals.

Impact 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 roster.

Two hits in return to majors Amador went 2-for-3 with a run scored Monday against the Cardinals.

Impact 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. Amador struggled during his first stint in the majors this season, but he could continue to get some looks at second base while Ryan Ritter (finger) and Thairo Estrada (thumb) are sidelined.

Returns to majors Colorado called up Amador from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday, Christian Saez of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact With Ryan Ritter (finger) landing on the 10-day IL on Sunday, Amador was summoned to provide depth in the infield. The 22-year-old struggled in a big-league stint earlier this season, slashing .146/.240/.225 with one home run, five RBI, one steal and a 24.5 percent strikeout rate over 33 contests. Amador has been swinging a hot bat of late with Albuquerque, though, going 13-for-36 (.361 batting average) with eight RBI over his past eight games.
