Braxton Fulford - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Big performance Sunday Fulford went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple, two runs scored and an RBI on Sunday against the Cubs.

He had one of his best offensive performances of the season Sunday, delivering his fourth multi-hit performance in 22 starts.

Three-hit effort in loss Fulford went 3-for-4 with one run scored in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Impact During his current stint in the big leagues, Fulford has gone 4-for-14 with three strikeouts and one walk. He has been in the lineup for four of seven games since he was called up last Sunday, making two starts each at catcher and designated hitter. He's also started twice against right-handed pitchers, so it doesn't appear he'll be strictly platooned. Over 57 plate appearances in the majors, the 26-year-old has posted a .259/.281/.389 slash line with one home run, 11 RBI, five runs scored, one stolen base, two doubles and one triple.

Impact Fulford will be up with the Rockies for the fourth time this season after slashing .250/.262/.425 with one home run, one stolen base, 11 RBI and four runs over 42 plate appearances across his previous three stints in the big leagues. With Hunter Goodman and Austin Nola both healthy, Fulford will serve as the Rockies' No. 3 catcher and will likely be in line for limited playing time.

Returning to Triple-A The Rockies optioned Fulford to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

Impact Fulford was recalled to the Rockies on Saturday to take the spot on the active roster vacated by Aaron Schunk (groin), but the former will return to Triple-A after the Rockies selected Alan Trejo's contract from Albuquerque. Fulford has a 1.345 OPS across 44 plate appearances in Triple-A and could return to the majors if Hunter Goodman or Jacob Stallings are sidelined for an extended period of time.

Back in majors Fulford was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday.

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.

Optioned to Triple-A The Rockies optioned Fulford to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

Impact 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.

Tallies first big-league homer Fulford went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Nationals.

Impact Fulford drew his second start since being recalled Wednesday and hit ninth in the order. He went yard to lead off the sixth inning, accounting for his first big-league hit and homer. Fulford should continue to get looks as the backup catcher so long as Kris Bryant (back) is sidelined, which allows Hunter Goodman to serve as the designated hitter.
