ALAN TREJO NEWS

Gets deal from TEX Trejo signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Thursday and received an invitation to spring training.

Impact In 67 big-league plate appearances with the Rockies last year, Trejo managed just a .325 OPS and one RBI -- by far his worst offensive season in the majors. He bounced back after signing a minor-league deal with the Dodgers, slashing .265/.346/.408 with 24 RBI and five stolen bases, but there is still little hope for him to get back to the big leagues with Texas.

Finds new home Trejo was signed by the Dodgers to a minor league contract Tuesday and is with Triple-A Oklahoma City, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Impact Trejo cleared waivers Saturday after being designated for assignment by the Rockies. He refused an outright assignment, so he became a free agent. The infielder was 9-for-63 with Colorado this season and had posted a 61 OPS+ in four seasons.

Enters free agency Trejo cleared waivers Saturday and elected to become a free agent.

Impact Trejo was jettisoned from the 40-man roster Friday to make room for Aaron Schunk, and he'll now look for another opportunity elsewhere after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 28-year-old has slashed just .143/.182/.143 in 67 plate appearances this season, and any offer he receives from another organization would almost certainly come in the form of a minor-league deal.

Picking up rare start Sunday Trejo will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact Trejo will crack the starting nine for the first time since May 24 while everyday second baseman Brendan Rodgers gets a day out of the field and serves as the Rockies' designated hitter. Though he's been on the active roster since Opening Day, Trejo has made just 12 starts in 58 games and has logged only 34 plate appearances.

Homers in loss Trejo went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run in Friday's 7-6 loss to the Twins.

Impact Trejo was mired in 1-for-25 stretch but has now recorded four hits over his past two games, including Friday's three-run blast. The part-time utility man is now hitting .226 with four homers, 26 RBI, 23 runs and five steals over 205 at-bats.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Contributes homer, steal Trejo went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run scored, a stolen base and a walk in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to Atlanta.

Impact Entering Wednesday, Trejo had gone 0-for-12 across his last seven games while holding down a reserve role. The homer was his first since Aug. 13, while the steal was his first in 32 games dating back to June 3. The infielder has a poor .237/.283/.353 slash line with three long balls, five thefts, 22 RBI and 18 runs scored over 188 plate appearances this season.

AUGUST 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Goes deep in loss Trejo went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 8-3 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Trejo's fourth-inning blast tied the game at 3-3, but the Rockies' offense stalled out from there. The infielder has gone 4-for-15 over his last seven games while playing in a limited role. He snapped a homer drought of 15 contests dating back to July 16. Trejo hasn't exactly impressed with a .248/.287/.357 slash line, two homers, 19 RBI, 16 runs scored and four stolen bases over 168 plate appearances, but he could push for some playing time at second base with Brendan Rodgers struggling.

AUGUST 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Knocks four hits Trejo went 4-for-5 with a double, two runs scored and an RBI in Monday's win over Washington.

Impact Trejo had a near-perfect day at the plate, highlighted by the seventh inning where he doubled and scored a run. It was his first multi-hit game since May 26; in 14 games between then and Monday, he posted a .583 OPS with 12 strikeouts in 33 at-bats. Trejo improved his season slash line to .256/.291/.353 with 11 extra-base hits and 15 runs scored through 142 plate appearances.

JULY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Walks it off in extras Trejo went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 8-7 extra-innings win over the Yankees.

Impact Trejo entered as a pinch runner and scored in the eighth inning before walking it off with his solo shot in the 11th. The homer was his first of the season in 46 contests. The infielder has added 14 RBI, 12 runs scored, eight doubles and four stolen bases over 128 plate appearances. Trejo doesn't have an immediate path to significant playing time -- his best bet would be to compete with Harold Castro at second base, which could earn Trejo a short-side platoon role.

JULY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from Triple-A Colorado recalled Trejo from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

Impact Trejo returns to the Rockies in a utility infield role following a three-week stay in the minors. He hit the ball well on the farm but holds a weak .241/.271/.313 batting line with zero home runs across 41 games (119 plate appearances) this year in the bigs.

JULY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Retreats to minors The Rockies optioned Trejo to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

Impact Trejo had been serving as a short-side platoon option in the infield for the Rockies, but he hadn't been especially effective in that role. Colorado called up infielder Coco Montes from Triple-A to serve as a replacement for Trejo, who slashed .241/.271/.313 with zero home runs and four stolen bases across 119 plate appearances for Colorado on the season.

JUNE 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Retreats to bench Trejo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Trejo started at second base in each of the last three games and went 5-for-10 with three doubles, a walk, two RBI, a run and a stolen base, but he still looks as though he'll be limited to a utility infield role. Harold Castro is back at his normal spot at the keystone Sunday after previously starting in the outfield during the past two contests.

MAY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Swipes third bag Trejo went 1-for-2 with an RBI and a steal in Thursday's victory over Miami.

Impact Trejo got the Rockies on the board in the fourth inning, driving in Randal Grichuk with two outs. Trejo would later walk to lead off the seventh inning before swiping his third stolen base of the year. The 26-year-old infielder's gone just 2-for-19 over his last seven games while playing sparingly. He's now slashing .231/.260/.286 with 11 RBI and eight runs scored through 97 plate appearances this season.

MAY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Steal, RBI in win Trejo went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a steal in Wednesday's win over Pittsburgh.

Impact Trejo tied the game 3-3 in the fourth inning with an RBI single before notching his second stolen base, setting a new career high. The 27-year-old Trejo has been swinging the bat well, going 8-for-19 with five RBI in his last six games. He's now slashing .264/.284/.333 with five doubles, six runs scored and nine RBI while primarily coming off the bench for Colorado.

MAY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sits again Saturday Trejo remains on the bench for Saturday's game against the Mets, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Trejo started 10 out of 11 games from April 18 to 29, but since then, he's started just two of six contests. Both of his starts in this recent stretch have come against southpaws, with Harold Castro handling second base against righties like Saturday's starter Tylor Megill.

MAY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not in lineup Friday Trejo is out of the lineup Friday against the Mets.

Impact Harold Castro will start at second base and bat eighth with right-hander Kodai Senga on the mound for New York. This has formed into a bit of a platoon in recent weeks, though Trejo should still get starts against some righties. Trejo and Castro are both currently under .600 in the OPS department.

MAY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Drives in three Trejo went 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI on Wednesday against the Brewers.

Impact Trejo came to bat with the bases loaded and two outs in the fourth inning and delivered a bases-clearing double. He added a single later in the game to record his first multi-hit effort since April 10. Trejo has been operating as Colorado's everyday second baseman since April 18, though he's hit just .195 with six RBI and two runs scored across 41 at-bats in that span.

MAY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to bench Sunday Trejo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Trejo started the past four games at second base and will take a seat after he went 3-for-18 with two RBI, a run and a stolen base. Harold Castro will man the keystone in Sunday's series finale.

APRIL 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies first stolen base Trejo went 0-for-3 with a walk, a run and a stolen base Tuesday against the Guardians.

Impact Trejo was in the lineup for the seventh time in the last eight games, as he's taken over as Colorado's primary second baseman. He hasn't taken advantage of that extra run by collecting only four hits across 26 at-bats. Trejo's performance could improve when the Rockies return home, but his primary value to the team will remain his work with the glove.

APRIL 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Becoming regular in infield Trejo will start at second base and bat seventh in Monday's game in Cleveland, Suzie Hunter of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact With the Rockies phasing the slumping Elehuris Montero out of a regular role of late before optioning him to Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday, Trejo looks to be the main beneficiary from a playing-time perspective. Ryan McMahon has shifted over from second base to serve as the replacement for Montero at third base, leaving the keystone open for Trejo. The 26-year-old will collect his sixth start in seven games Monday, but with a .237 average to go with no home runs or steals in 40 plate appearances on the season, Trejo has offered little to get excited about for fantasy purposes.

APRIL 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Could see increased playing time Trejo went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Trejo was in the lineup for only the seventh time this season and at second base for only the second time. However, he could be in line for more consistent playing time moving forward, as Ryan McMahon shifted to third base Tuesday, in turn pushing Elehuris Montero to the bench. Montero has struggled defensively early this season -- he made two costly errors Monday -- and is a candidate to lose more playing time or even be sent down to the minors, per Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post. While Trejo has the potential to be steadier than Montero, he has maintained just a 73 wRC+ and .296 wOBA across 198 career plate appearances.

APRIL 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Leads offense in win Trejo went 3-for-4 with a run and two RBI in a 7-4 win against St. Louis on Monday.

Impact Trejo started his fourth game of the campaign and more than doubled his season hit tally with the three-single performance. The 26-year-old knocked in a run with a single in the fourth inning and repeated the feat in the sixth. Trejo hadn't knocked in or scored any runs coming into Monday, so he's not much of a fantasy asset at the moment.
