Troy Johnston - Page 4 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Back on bench Sunday Johnston is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Impact The left-handed-hitting Johnston will sit for the second time in the series, with both of his absences coming against right-handed pitching. Johnston appeared to have settled into a near-everyday role after posting an impressive .954 OPS through his first 11 games of the campaign, but his grip on a regular spot in the lineup may be loosening after 0-for-4 efforts in his last two starts.

Comes up big in comeback win Johnston went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, two total runs and two total RBI in a 9-7 win against Houston on Monday.

Impact The Rockies trailed 3-0 before exploding for eight runs in the bottom of the fifth. Johnston was a big part of that explosion, cashing in a run on a double and subsequently coming around to score. The 28-year-old then accounted for Colorado's final run with a 407-foot solo blast in the sixth. Johnston batted cleanup Monday and could stick there if he continues to swing a hot bat. On the season, he's slashing .333/.355/.600 with two homers, five RBI and four runs.

Batting cleanup Monday Johnston will start in right field and bat cleanup in Monday's game against the Astros.

Impact The Rockies have limped out to a 3-6 start to the season, but Johnston has been one of the few bright spots in the early going. He'll pick up his seventh consecutive start Monday after producing a .280/.308/.440 slash line with one home run, three RBI and an additional run over his first 27 plate appearances of the season. With Jordan Beck (.303 OPS) and Jake McCarthy (.384 OPS) both struggling out of the gate, Johnston could continue to hold down an everyday role while he's wielding a hot bat.

Two hits Wednesday Johnston went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Blue Jays.

Impact The Rockies mustered only six hits as a team in a pitcher's duel this Wednesday, but Johnston got two of them from the leadoff spot and also drove the team's first run with a single to left field in the top of the eighth inning. Johnston is enjoying a strong start to the season, going hitting .333 with a .933 OPS through his first 16 plate appearances.

Playing time trending up Johnston will start in right field and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact The 28-year-old will stick in the starting nine for a third straight game and will move to the top of the lineup while normal table setter Jake McCarthy receives his first day off of the season. With an .818 OPS through his first four games with Colorado, Johnston appears to have at least temporarily taken control of a regular spot in the lineup against right-handed pitching at the expense of Edouard Julien, who will hit the bench for the third time in four contests.

First homer with Colorado Johnston went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run Monday against the Blue Jays.

Impact Johnston has alternated starts with Jordan Beck in right field to begin the season, and he has also benefited from the absence of Mickey Moniak (finger). Johnston managed his first home run with the Rockies by taking Spencer Miles deep in the sixth inning in Monday's blowout win. His playing time still looks uncertain, though he has started the campaign with three hits across nine plate appearances.

Cracks Opening Day roster Johnston made the Rockies' Opening Day roster, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Johnston was claimed off waivers by the Rockies in November, and he earned a place on the Opening Day roster with a .973 OPS across 22 spring training games. The 28-year-old is expected to begin the season in a reserve role, but he could get an opportunity for regular playing time at some point given Colorado's lack of established pieces.

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.

Through his first 99 at-bats, Johnston is batting .283 with four long balls, 13 RBI, 10 runs scored and two stolen bases.
