The Colorado Rockies are making roster moves aplenty this month, and it’s not just September call-ups that are involved!
Three important veterans are finally off the disabled list, after Boone Logan and Kyle Kendrick returned to the active roster earlier this week, and the Rockies’ veteran first baseman now joins those ranks of needed, experienced players now back with the club.

- Justin Morneau has returned from the disabled list! To make room for him on the 40-man roster, Matt McBride has been designated for assignment.
- Rafael Ynoa has been recalled from AAA Albuquerque, giving the Rockies another utility middle infielder who can switch hit to go along with Cristhian Adames.
- Carlos Gonzalez is still really good, and we’ve got even more numbers to prove it.
- Jeff Bridich appears on MLB Trade Rumors’ podcast to talk about the Rockies’ direction under his tutelage.
- The Colorado Rockies may not be as bad at base running as we all would like to believe.
