Goes to Rockies via waivers The Rockies claimed Johnston off waivers from the Marlins on Wednesday.

Impact Johnston reached the majors for the first time in 2025 as a 28-year-old and fared well, slashing .277/.331/.420 with four home runs over 121 plate appearances. He can play first base and the corner outfield spots and could see ample playing time on a talent-deficient Rockies roster.

Lifts fourth homer Johnston went 2-for-4 with a home run and an additional RBI in Saturday's 4-3 win over Texas.

Impact Johnston blasted his fourth homer of the season, also logging multiple hits for the fourth time this month. The rookie outfielder has made a nice impression since being called up in late July, as he's settled in as Miami's primary right fielder. Through his first 99 at-bats, Johnston is batting .283 with four long balls, 13 RBI, 10 runs scored and two stolen bases.

Plays hero in two-homer day Johnston went 2-for-4 with a walk, two home runs and three RBI in Saturday's 6-4 extra-innings win over the Tigers.

Impact After taking Troy Melton deep for a solo shot in the sixth inning, Johnston walked it off in the 11th with a two-run homer off Rafael Montero. The 28-year-old rookie came into the game with just one long ball in his first 32 big-league contests, and the performance may have snapped a September swoon for Johnston in which he'd gone just 2-for-21 (.095) with zero RBI over his prior nine games.

Johnston closed August with a .293/.328/.414 slash line, one home run, one stolen base, seven RBI and five runs over 23 games.

Three hits in Friday's loss Johnston went 3-for-5 with a triple, two runs scored and an RBI in Friday's loss to the Mets.

Impact Getting the start in left field and batting seventh, Johnston delivered his fourth multi-hit performance in the last nine games, a stretch in which he's batting .480 (12-for-25) with three runs and four RBI. The 28-year-old has emerged as the Marlins' preferred option in left field against right-handed pitching while still occasionally spotting in at first base or right field, a role he could fill until Kyle Stowers (oblique) gets healthy.

Exiting starting nine Wednesday Johnston is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Johnston had started in each of Miami's last seven games at first base or in left or right field, going 8-for-20 with one double, two walks and three RBI during that stretch.
