Stevens

No real surprises among this batch of cuts for the Rockies. These moves get them down to 36 players remaining in major league camp as we inch closer to Opening Day. Look for them to finalize their roster in the coming days. Fulford hit .213/.267/.324 in 120 plate appearances with the Rockies last year, but slugged .714 in 171 Triple-A plate appearances and figures to be their third catcher this season.

All three balls in play left his bat at 110-111 mph, according to Statcast. Stevens, 27, made his major league debut with the Angels last seaosn, going 2-for-13 with seven strikeouts in five games. He showed some power in hitting 18 homers in 126 games for Triple-A Salt Lake last year, and he offers versatility throughout the infield. He should be in the running for a spot on Colorado’s bench if he keeps hitting.

Stevens heads to Colorado as extra middle infield depth entering next year after going 2-for-13 with seven strikeouts during his first taste of big-league action with the Angels this past season. The 26-year-old shortstop batted .290/.375/.480 with 18 homers and 20 steals in 528 plate appearances over 126 games at the Triple-A level in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League this past season.

Stevens went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment over the weekend. The 26-year-old infielder went 2-for-13 with seven strikeouts in his first taste of the big leagues earlier this season.

Stevens loses his spot on Los Angeles’ 40-man roster to make room for lefty reliever Sammy Peralta. The 26-year-old infielder went 2-for-13 with seven strikeouts in his first taste of the big leagues earlier this season.

Stevens heads back to the minors after getting into five games for Los Angeles after being called up last Thursday from Triple-A Salt Lake. The 26-year-old middle infielder went 2-for-13 with seven strikeouts in his first taste of the big leagues. He’s put up some huge numbers at the Triple-A level this year, but isn’t quite ready to make an impact for the Angels.

It’s the first trip to the big leagues for Stevens — an 11th-round selection by the Astros from the 2021 draft class. He was terrific in 72 games at the Triple-A level, slashing .307/.383/.542 with 14 homers, 43 RBI and nine stolen bases in 298 plate appearances. With Christian Moore (thumb) heading to the injured list, Stevens may get a chance at everyday action for a couple of weeks.
