Sean Bouchard - Page 2 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Drawing fourth straight start Bouchard will start in left field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Following his call-up from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday, Bouchard has now started in each of the Rockies' ensuing four games. Bouchard went 2-for-8 with a double, three walks, four runs, two RBI and two stolen bases in the previous three contests. With Jordan Beck (hand) recently hitting the injured list, Bouchard looks like he could be in line for everyday playing time in the corner outfield until Nolan Jones (back) is reinstated from the IL, which could happen next week.

Favorite to start in right field Bouchard is the top candidate to start in right field for the Rockies to begin the 2024 season, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.

Impact Brenton Doyle and Nolan Jones will almost certainly account for the majority of at-bats in center and left field, respectively, to begin the season in Colorado. However, there are more significant questions in right field, with Bouchard and Hunter Goodman looking to be the primary options. Saunders suggests that the Rockies desire stability at the position, which could give Bouchard the edge to begin the campaign. In 140 career plate appearances, he's maintained a .432 wOBA, though he's also struck out at a 27.9 percent clip.

Hitting for power Bouchard went 2-for-4 with two doubles, one RBI and one run scored Sunday against the Dodgers.

Impact Bouchard accounted for the majority of his production in the ninth inning when he tallied an RBI double and also came around to score. He has taken over an everyday role since Sept. 21 and done well in the audition, maintaining a .400 average with one home run, four doubles, four runs scored and six RBI across 30 at-bats. Much of that damage has also come away from Coors Field, as four of his extra-base hits in that span have come on the road.

Picking up work in left field Bouchard will start in left field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Padres.

Impact Bouchard will stick in the lineup for a fifth straight game after going 4-for-8 with a double and six walks over the previous four contests, but his run of steady playing time could soon come to an end. C.J. Cron (hand) is back in action at first base Sunday following a three-game absence, and his return to the lineup likely means that Michael Toglia will see more playing time in the corner outfield moving forward. At least for Sunday's contest, however, Bouchard will stick in the outfield alongside Yonathan Daza and Randal Grichuk while Toglia sits after starting each of the prior six contests.
