Cleared for baseball activities Crim (oblique) has been cleared for baseball activities Tuesday, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

Impact Crim has missed most of spring training with a strained oblique. The 29-year-old made his MLB debut last season, appearing in 20 games with the Rangers and Rockies, and produced a .200/.270/.462 slash line with five home runs, 12 RBI, 10 runs scored and a 6:28 BB:K across 74 trips to the plate. Crim will likely open the season at Triple-A Albuquerque.

Goes deep twice in loss Crim went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Thursday's 9-7 loss to Miami.

Impact The rookie cleared the fence twice Thursday with each drive carrying more than 400 feet, thanks to Coors Field's elevation. Just a week after delivering his first big-league long ball, Crim now owns his first multi-homer performance just 11 games into his MLB career. Since being recalled, the 28-year-old has swung the bat well, posting a .261 average (6-for-23) with three homers, a double, seven RBI and four runs scored across his first six games with Colorado.

Goes yard in team debut Crim went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 4-2 win over San Diego.

Impact Making his Rockies debut, Crim got both his first major-league hit and homer courtesy of a fourth-inning jack. With Warming Bernabel (concussion) on the injured list, Crim has a chance to handle regular at-bats at first base in the interim. Crim has been very productive at the dish at the Triple-A level this season, slashing .281/.370/.494 with 21 big flies, 26 doubles and 85 RBI over 492 plate appearances in the minor leagues.

Set for COL debut The Rockies recalled Crim from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Colorado claimed Crim off waivers in early August from Texas, and the first baseman has slashed .273/.360/.424 in 114 plate appearances with Albuquerque since. He'll make his Rockies debut if he gets into a game. Crim is expected to serve as the team's primary first baseman while Warming Bernabel (concussion) is sidelined. Michael Toglia was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Texas Rangers 1B Blaine Crim claimed off waiver wire by Colorado Rockies Crim was a longtime Rangers farmhand after being drafted by Texas in 2019.

Lands in Colorado The Rockies claimed Crim off waivers and optioned him to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

Impact The 28-year-old Crim went 1-for-11 with one walk and six strikeouts during a brief stint in the big leagues with the Rangers back in May, but he had been raking at Triple-A Round Rock before Texas designated him for assignment Thursday. Over 378 plate appearances with Round Rock, Crim slashed .284/.373/.515 with 18 home runs and three stolen bases. Crim will stick around in the Pacific Coast League and link up with the Rockies' affiliate in Albuquerque, but he could receive another look in the majors before the end of the season if Colorado has a need for a short-side platoon first baseman or designated hitter.

AUGUST 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Bumped from 40-man roster Crim was designated for assignment by the Rangers on Thursday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Crim made his very brief big-league debut in early May but has spent nearly the entire 2025 season with Triple-A Round Rock. He maintained a 119 wRC+ at the level, though he is in his age-28 season. His production could be enough to entice a team to claim him on waivers.

Called up The Rangers recalled Crim from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

Impact Crim will join the Rangers for his second big-league stint after going hitless in 11 at-bats at the start of May. He'll likely mix in at first base behind Jake Burger. In 180 plate appearances at Triple-A in 2025, Crim slashed .294/.361/.544 with 10 home runs.
