SEAN BOUCHARD NEWS

Sent to Triple-A Bouchard was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

Impact Bouchard will yield his spot on the active roster to Kris Bryant (oblique), who was activated from the 10-day IL in a corresponding move. Bouchard went hitless in six at-bats with four strikeouts during his nine-day MLB stint.

Returns to majors The Rockies recalled Bouchard from Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Bouchard's opportunity to return to the big-league club comes as a result of Nolan Jones (back) landing on the 10-day injured list. Bouchard has spent much of the season with Colorado, slashing .200/.307/.318 with a home run, eight RBI and four steals over 102 plate appearances. He was sent down to the minors in late June after battling a back injury and hit .357 with a long ball, seven RBI and a steal across seven contests prior to being recalled.

JULY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Overcomes back issue Bouchard (back) has gone 5-for-11 with two doubles, three walks, four runs and one RBI in three games for Triple-A Albuquerque since the Rockies optioned him June 29.

Impact Before he was optioned to Albuquerque, Bouchard was contending with a back injury, but he has since overcome the health concern. The 28-year-old should continue to play at least semi-regularly at the Triple-A level and will look to perform well enough to earn another look with the Rockies later this season.

JULY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Remains on bench Wednesday Bouchard (back) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

Impact Bouchard will miss out on a third straight start while he contends with back tightness, though even if healthy, he might not have been in store for regular playing time. The 28-year-old has provided a .625 OPS over 102 plate appearances in the majors this season.

JUNE 26 • ROTOWIRE

Exits with back tightness Bouchard was removed from Saturday's game against the Nationals with back tightness, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Bouchard awkwardly fielded a ball in the third inning and was replaced in right field by Jake Cave to start the fourth. Bouchard was activated from the 10-day IL on Wednesday with an ankle injury, so Saturday's back issues are new. The Rockies will have a team day off Monday after closing their series with the Nationals on Sunday.

Starting rehab assignment Bouchard (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

Impact Bouchard is less than two weeks removed from suffering a right ankle sprain but is ready to test things out in a game setting. He is eligible for activation at any time, but the Rockies could keep him at Albuquerque rather than retuning him to the major-league roster.

JUNE 17 • ROTOWIRE

Diagnosed with ankle sprain Bouchard suffered a right high-ankle sprain during Wednesday's game against the Reds, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Bouchard suffered the injury during the eighth inning of Wednesday's contest when his foot slipped off first base following a sacrifice bunt. He'll almost certainly have to spend time on the injured list, opening the door for Jake Cave to make regular starts in left field for the Rockies.

Heading to bench Sunday Bouchard is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact Though he's on the bench for the second time in the series, Bouchard has been deployed as the Rockies' primary option in left field following Jordan Beck's (hand) placement on the injured list last Sunday. After getting called up from Triple-A Albuquerque the same day Beck was deactivated, Bouchard started in five of the ensuing six games, going 2-for-14 with a double, three walks, four runs, three RBI and two stolen bases. Hunter Goodman will spell Bouchard in left field Sunday.

JUNE 2 • ROTOWIRE

Drawing fourth straight start Bouchard will start in left field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Following his call-up from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday, Bouchard has now started in each of the Rockies' ensuing four games. Bouchard went 2-for-8 with a double, three walks, four runs, two RBI and two stolen bases in the previous three contests. With Jordan Beck (hand) recently hitting the injured list, Bouchard looks like he could be in line for everyday playing time in the corner outfield until Nolan Jones (back) is reinstated from the IL, which could happen next week.

MAY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Favorite to start in right field Bouchard is the top candidate to start in right field for the Rockies to begin the 2024 season, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.

Impact Brenton Doyle and Nolan Jones will almost certainly account for the majority of at-bats in center and left field, respectively, to begin the season in Colorado. However, there are more significant questions in right field, with Bouchard and Hunter Goodman looking to be the primary options. Saunders suggests that the Rockies desire stability at the position, which could give Bouchard the edge to begin the campaign. In 140 career plate appearances, he's maintained a .432 wOBA, though he's also struck out at a 27.9 percent clip.

Impact Bouchard is hitting .226 over 18 games since he was called up from Triple-A Albuquerque when rosters expanded at the start of September. His homer was his second in the majors this year, and he's added five RBI, seven runs scored, one double and a 3:11 BB:K over 18 contests. Bouchard will likely end the season in a part-time role.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Promoted to majors The Rockies recalled Bouchard from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday, Kelsey Wingert-Linch of AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain reports.

Impact Bouchard impressed during his time in the majors last season with a .954 OPS and 11 RBI in 97 plate appearances, but he's gotten off to a slower start in Triple-A since recovering from a biceps injury. Bouchard will give the Rockies another option in the outfield, and he could potentially see time in right field while Kris Bryant (finger) is out.

MAY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to 60-day IL Bouchard (biceps) was placed on the 60-day injured list by the Rockies on Saturday.

Impact Bouchard is going to miss the first few months of the season at the very least after undergoing surgery to repair a ruptured left biceps muscle. The outfielder looked like he could have a role with Colorado before the injury, and he is a player to keep an eye on for 2024 if he does miss the entirety of 2023.

Diagnosed with ruptured biceps Bouchard has been diagnosed with a ruptured left biceps muscle, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Bouchard 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.

MARCH 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Undergoes MRI on biceps Bouchard underwent an MRI on his ailing left biceps after the injury forced him from Wednesday's game, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Bouchard is hoping for good news when the results come in later Thursday, but imaging being required suggests there's at least some level of concern. The 26-year-old had a big year at Triple-A Albuquerque in 2022 and closed with a strong showing with the Rockies. If healthy, he could have a significant role with the big club in 2023.

MARCH 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves with biceps injury Bouchard exited Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Angels with a left biceps injury, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Bouchard suffered the injury during an inning-ending strikeout in the top of the first and was replaced in left field by Cole Tucker before the bottom of the first. There's no indication yet as to the severity of the issue.
