- The Colorado Rockies have optioned several of their top prospects to their Triple-A affiliate in Albuquerque as they finalize their 40-man roster for the upcoming season.
- The players sent down include pitchers Welinton Herrera, Gabriel Hughes, Carson Palmquist, and Luis Peralta, as well as outfielder Sterlin Thompson.
- While these players are being sent to the minors, it doesn't mean they won't see time with the big league club this season. The Rockies are simply trying to find the right roster spots for them as they approach Opening Day.
