Michael Toglia - In better position for MLB rosterToglia is better positioned for a spot on the Rockies' Opening Day roster with Sean Bouchard (biceps) out indefinitely, Danielle Allentuck of the Denver Gazette reports.
ImpactToglia was a mess offensively in his first taste of MLB action last season, striking out 44 times in 120 at-bats, but he worked diligently this winter on his timing to the baseball and barrel accuracy. Prior to his callup to the Rockies last August, the 24-year-old registered an .852 OPS with 30 home runs in 114 games between Double-A Hartford and Triple-A Albuquerque. He can play first base and the corner outfield while also functioning as an option at DH. That's a similar profile to Bouchard, who suffered a ruptured biceps muscle Wednesday.

Sean Bouchard - Diagnosed with ruptured bicepsBouchard has been diagnosed with a ruptured left biceps muscle, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
ImpactBouchard suffered the injury while taking a first-inning at-bat in Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Angels. Colorado is holding out hope that it's not season-ending, per Harding, but the 26-year-old slugger needs surgery and is going to be on the shelf over a lengthy recovery period. He was positioned to claim something close to an everyday role this year with the Rockies following his tremendous showing between Triple-A and MLB in 2022.
