TJ Friedl homered and Cincinnati manager Terry Francona got his 2,000th win when he directed the Reds to a 4-2 win over the Colorado Rockies

JULY 13, 2025 • Associated Press

On base three times Fernandez went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored Saturday against the Reds.

Impact Fernandez's key hit was an RBI double in the seventh inning, his second extra-base hit across 24 plate appearances since he was promoted to the majors. Overall, he's started seven of Colorado's last 10 games while going 8-for-24 and hasn't looked overmatched by striking out only five times.

Not in Tuesday's lineup Fernandez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact It's the first time in six games versus right-handed pitching since his recall that the left-handed-batting Fernandez is not in the lineup. Tyler Freeman is in right field and Mickey Moniak will be the designated hitter as the Rockies take on righty Brayan Bello and the Red Sox.

Tallies two hits Fernandez went 2-for-4 with a double Saturday against the White Sox.

Impact Fernandez has started three of five games since being promoted July 1 and is settling into a large-side platoon. He recorded both his first extra-base hit and multi-hit game of his career Saturday. While it's a small sample, Fernandez has encouragingly struck out only twice in 10 plate appearances.

Rockies recall their No. 5-ranked prospect, outfielder Yanquiel Fernández

The Colorado Rockies have recalled outfielder Yanquiel Fernández, the organization’s No. 5-ranked prospect, from Triple-A Albuquerque

JULY 1, 2025 • Associated Press

Promotion made official The Rockies recalled Fernandez from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

Impact Fernandez has been on the 40-man roster since November of 2023, but he will be making his major-league debut when he gets into a game. The 22-year-old has slashed .284/.347/.502 with 13 home runs in 271 plate appearances with Albuquerque this season. The left-handed-hitting Fernandez is not in the lineup against Astros southpaw Colton Gordon on Tuesday, but he should see opportunities in the outfield versus right-handed pitching.

Slated for call-up Fernandez is expected to be called up from Triple-A Albuquerque ahead of Tuesday's game against the Astros, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Impact Fernandez is slashing .284/.347/.502 with 13 home runs and 14 doubles in 271 plate appearances with Albuquerque, and he'll make his MLB debut if he gets into a game. A corresponding move has yet to be announced. Fernandez has played only right field and DH this season.

Sent to Triple-A The Rockies optioned Fernandez to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

Impact Fernandez is still waiting to make his MLB debut, but he's heading into his second season as a member of the 40-man roster and could be in line to join the Rockies at some point in 2025. The 22-year-old outfielder will first need to show improvement after struggling in his initial taste of the Pacific Coast League upon being promoted from Double-A Hartford last August. Over his 138 plate appearances with Albuquerque, Fernandez slashed .211/.268/.313 with two home runs and 18 RBI.

Makes return at Double-A Fernandez has gone 5-for-12 with three doubles, two walks, three RBI and two runs in three games for Double-A Hartford since returning from the 7-day injured list Saturday after mi...

Impact The 20-year-old outfield prospect was sidelined for about 10 days with what was apparently a minor injury. Since getting a promotion from High-A Spokane on June 20, Fernandez is hitting .237/.309/.443 with five home runs across 110 plate appearances with Hartford.

AUGUST 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Homers in first Double-A game Fernandez went 1-for-4 with a home run and two strikeouts in his debut for Double-A Hartford on Tuesday.

Impact The Cuban slugger took full advantage of the advantageous hitting conditions at High-A Spokane, slashing .319/.354/.605 with 17 home runs in 58 games before getting promoted to Double-A. Hartford is a more neutral park, so this will be a big test for the 20-year-old as he will routinely be facing pitchers several years his senior. Fernandez's raw power is a clear strength, but he rarely sees a pitch he doesn't like, so it wouldn't be surprising if he goes through some growing pains as one of the youngest players at Double-A.

JUNE 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Swats 10 homers in May Fernandez hit .385 with 10 home runs and 19 strikeouts over 28 games in May for High-A Spokane.

Impact He is a very aggressive hitter (five percent walk rate this season), but Fernandez is a natural run producer. He drove in 109 runs in 112 games at Single-A last season and already has 46 RBI in 44 games this year. The 20-year-old Cuban right fielder has a plus arm, but he will need to stay on top of his conditioning to remain a viable option in the outfield in his mid-20s.
