Adael Amador Fantasy Stats

Colorado Rockies infielder Adael Amador will head to the bench ahead of Saturday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He went hitless during his first two games since being promoted, so he'll take a seat on Saturday. Amador has good potential as a player long-term, but has struggled to adjust to the big league level. The 22-year-old is not worth rostering in fantasy formats at the moment. Kyle Farmer will take over at second base and bat ninth versus left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez on Saturday.

Colorado Rockies second baseman Adael Amador has been recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque. With Thairo Estrada hitting the 10-day injured list, the Rockies called up Amador to fill the need at second base. The 22-year-old debuted with the Rockies last season and saw playing time with the club earlier this year, but has not been able to have much success to this point. In 46 career games, the switch-hitter has produced a .180/.253/.256 slash line, although he was 5-for-9 (.556) with a pair of doubles and a 1:1 BB:K in the three games he played for Colorado in July, so perhaps he was on the verge of turning things around. The 5-foot-11 Dominican owns a respectable 79.6 percent contact rate in the majors and low strikeout rates in the minors, and if he can start hitting, he should also begin stealing bases. For now, though, he's just a speculative waiver add in NL-only leagues. He's starting at second base on Wednesday and batting eighth in a home matchup with the Blue Jays.

Colorado Rockies second base prospect Adael Amador went 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Thursday's 9-8 win over Triple-A Oklahoma City. Amador has been highly productive all season, hitting .306/.394/.482 with four homers and four steals in 99 plate appearances. The 22-year-old was promoted to the majors on April 13 and spent 33 games with the club. He struggled a bit, as he produced just a .465 OPS. Amador has strong contact skills and speed with some pop and should be expected to return to the majors shortly. He'd make for a solid add for managers in need of some stolen bases.

The Colorado Rockies optioned second base prospect Adael Amador to Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday, according to MLB.com. Amador, one of the team's top prospects, will head back to the farm for more seasoning after going 13-for-89 (.146) with a homer, four doubles, five RBI, three runs scored, one steal, 10 walks and 25 strikeouts in 102 trips to the plate over 33 games for the Rockies this year after making his MLB debut in 2024 and playing in just 10 games. The 22-year-old could certainly use more development with the Isotopes after playing in just 10 games at the Triple-A level before his call-up. If he can put it all together when he eventually returns to the big leagues, Amador has the plate discipline and skills to be a 20-homer asset at Coors Field while also hitting for average. Amador will go down to make room for the return of Thairo Estrada (wrist), who will become the regular at second base in Denver.

Colorado Rockies second baseman Adael Amador has struggled at the plate for a second straight season since being called up to the majors, but he had a big game on Saturday, going 3-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in the fifth inning. The home run was the first of his MLB career and came in his 21st MLB appearance. The speedy protect just turned 22 earlier this month, and still has plenty of upside, but he may not be able to hold on to a full-time role if he scuffles like he did before Saturday's breakout. Amador is up to .214 after his three-hit performance, and he has shown good speed potential in the minors with 35 thefts in 100 games at Double-A last year. If he gets playing time, he could develop into a bargain DFS play with upside, but the Rockies could send him back to Triple-A for more seasoning

The Denver Post's Patrick Saunders reports that Colorado Rockies second base prospect Adael Amador will be called up from Triple-A Albuquerque for Sunday's series finale at Petco Park against the San Diego Padres, according to a source. The corresponding roster move will likely be outfielder Tyler Freeman (oblique) going on the 10-day injured list after he was scratched from Saturday's lineup after tweaking his oblique in the batting cage. The 22-year-old Amador is considered Colorado's No. 7 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and will hopefully boost what has been a dormant Rockies offense early in 2025. He was hitting .275/.408/.450 with two homers, fur RBI, three steals and nine runs in 49 plate appearances at Triple-A. Amador should see regular playing time at second for the Rockies. Although he hit just .171 in his MLB debut last year, it was in just 10 games. His power/speed upside could play immediately in mixed fantasy leagues.

Colorado Rockies prospects Adael Amador and Drew Romo were both optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday. Amador was having a nice spring, going 8-for-27 (.296) with nine RBI, five runs scored, and an 8:5 BB:K. The switch-hitter is Colorado's seventh-ranked prospect and offers a blend of power and speed. Last season at Double-A, he hit 14 home runs and stole 35 bases in 100 games. Romo got off to a cold start this spring, going 2-for-17 (.118) along with a 1:4 BB:K. The Rockies' 11th-ranked prospect will head back to Triple-A, where he hit .297 with 14 home runs last season. Both had a taste of the majors in 2024, albeit with little success, but Amador offers the better fantasy profile of the two and is likelier to get back to the big leagues sooner, maybe even before summer.

Colorado Rockies second base prospect Adael Amador has enjoyed a nice power surge this week and has begun to settle in at Double-A since the start of the month. In his past six games, Amador has gone deep three times and tallied one triple with eight RBI. Since the start of the month, the 21-year-old boasts a .292/.346/.521 line. The infielder made his major league debut earlier this season and posted a modest .171/.194/.200 line through 10 games. The switch-hitter currently sits as the No. 6 prospect in the Colorado system and 98th-best in the entire sport on MLB.com. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status at Double-A, as he could earn another taste of the majors down the stretch.

Colorado Rockies middle infield prospect Adael Amador continued his hot hitting by going 1-for-4 with a solo home run on Wednesday for Double-A Hartford. The home run was his second in as many games for the 21-year-old. Amador is the Rockies No. 2 prospect per MLB Pipeline and is has been scorching hot of late with nine hits over his last 24 at-bats. Amador got a look with the big-league club earlier in the season, but suffered a right oblique injury and eventually returned to Hartford when activated. The Rockies are in a full rebuild, so there stands a chance that Amador will see some time with the big-league club before the season over, but he is more likely to help dynasty managers in the future versus redraft managers in 2024.

Colorado Rockies infield prospect Adael Amador has had trouble finding consistency since returning to Double-A after his brief major league debut. Since July 1 at Double-A Hartford, the top prospect in Colorado has struggled with a poor .174/.321/.196 line. During this span, he has hit only one extra-base hit and held a disappointing 10:22 BB:K ratio. However, Amador has posted two multi-hit games in his past four games, which could suggest he might be turning the corner. The 21-year-old infielder is considered the 46th-best prospect and could see another opportunity in the major leagues during the second half of the season.
