2 years agoThe Colorado Rockies recalled third base prospect Elehuris Montero from the minors on Tuesday and optioned right-hander Chad Smith in a corresponding move. This will be Montero, the team's No. 5 prospect per MLB Pipeline, second call-up of his rookie season. In four previous games for the Rockies this year, the 23-year-old went 2-for-13 with no home runs, RBI or runs scored. He was hitting .327/.395/.563 with a .958 OPS, 13 home runs, 43 RBI, 35 runs scored and three stolen bases in 53 games for Triple-A Albuquerque, but he's expected to be more of a utility infielder in his second major league call-up. It might be another short stint with the Rockies, too, with Kris Bryant expected to rejoin the team shortly. Fantasy managers in standard single-year mixed leagues shouldn't spend a ton on Montero.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
