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

In short-side platoon Bouchard went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Saturday against the Athletics.

Impact Bouchard made only his second start of the season, both of which have come with left-handed starters on the mound. Given his currently limited playing time, it's difficult to justify rostering him in most fantasy formats.

'We've got to keep him on the field': Bouchard eyes bounce-back in 2025 SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- It’s about time fortune stayed with Rockies outfielder Sean Bouchard during Spring Training. Bouchard pulled a Wandy Pe...

MARCH 13, 2025 • MLB.COM

Impressive start to spring Bouchard went 4-for-4 with three runs scored and a double in Monday's Cactus League game.

Impact Bouchard had a down 2024 season but entered spring training healthy after undergoing surgery on his hamate bone in early November. Jordan Beck is the favorite to start in right field for the Rockies, but Bouchard has collected eight hits across 18 at-bats while striking out four times early on in the exhibition season.

MARCH 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Fully healthy for spring training Bouchard underwent surgery on his hamate bone in early November but enters spring training fully healthy, MLB.com reports.

Impact There weren't many details provided about the injury, and it's unclear if the issue contributed to Bouchard's disappointing 2024 season. He was limited to only 108 plate appearances in the majors, during which he posted just a 56 wRC+. He's likely entering spring training as a longshot to start in right field, but he has a chance to earn a roster spot as a reserve outfielder.

FEBRUARY 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to Triple-A Bouchard was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

Impact Bouchard will yield his spot on the active roster to Kris Bryant (oblique), who was activated from the 10-day IL in a corresponding move. Bouchard went hitless in six at-bats with four strikeouts during his nine-day MLB stint.

JULY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to majors The Rockies recalled Bouchard from Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Bouchard's opportunity to return to the big-league club comes as a result of Nolan Jones (back) landing on the 10-day injured list. Bouchard has spent much of the season with Colorado, slashing .200/.307/.318 with a home run, eight RBI and four steals over 102 plate appearances. He was sent down to the minors in late June after battling a back injury and hit .357 with a long ball, seven RBI and a steal across seven contests prior to being recalled.

JULY 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Overcomes back issue Bouchard (back) has gone 5-for-11 with two doubles, three walks, four runs and one RBI in three games for Triple-A Albuquerque since the Rockies optioned him June 29.

Impact Before he was optioned to Albuquerque, Bouchard was contending with a back injury, but he has since overcome the health concern. The 28-year-old should continue to play at least semi-regularly at the Triple-A level and will look to perform well enough to earn another look with the Rockies later this season.

JULY 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Remains on bench Wednesday Bouchard (back) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

Impact Bouchard will miss out on a third straight start while he contends with back tightness, though even if healthy, he might not have been in store for regular playing time. The 28-year-old has provided a .625 OPS over 102 plate appearances in the majors this season.

JUNE 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Exits with back tightness Bouchard was removed from Saturday's game against the Nationals with back tightness, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Bouchard awkwardly fielded a ball in the third inning and was replaced in right field by Jake Cave to start the fourth. Bouchard was activated from the 10-day IL on Wednesday with an ankle injury, so Saturday's back issues are new. The Rockies will have a team day off Monday after closing their series with the Nationals on Sunday.

Starting rehab assignment Bouchard (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

Impact Bouchard is less than two weeks removed from suffering a right ankle sprain but is ready to test things out in a game setting. He is eligible for activation at any time, but the Rockies could keep him at Albuquerque rather than retuning him to the major-league roster.

JUNE 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Diagnosed with ankle sprain Bouchard suffered a right high-ankle sprain during Wednesday's game against the Reds, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Bouchard suffered the injury during the eighth inning of Wednesday's contest when his foot slipped off first base following a sacrifice bunt. He'll almost certainly have to spend time on the injured list, opening the door for Jake Cave to make regular starts in left field for the Rockies.

Heading to bench Sunday Bouchard is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact Though he's on the bench for the second time in the series, Bouchard has been deployed as the Rockies' primary option in left field following Jordan Beck's (hand) placement on the injured list last Sunday. After getting called up from Triple-A Albuquerque the same day Beck was deactivated, Bouchard started in five of the ensuing six games, going 2-for-14 with a double, three walks, four runs, three RBI and two stolen bases. Hunter Goodman will spell Bouchard in left field Sunday.
