Colorado Rockies shortstop prospect Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) landed on the disabled list with Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday. Rodgers is the team's No. 1 prospect and was hitting .271 with 17 home runs, 64 RBI and 12 stolen bases in 103 combined games between Double-A Hartford and Albuquerque this season. This could hurt his chances of coming up next month when rosters expand, but he should still be owned in most dynasty leagues. His combination of power and speed will play at the next level. If we don't see him at the end of this year, we'll certainly see him in Colorado in 2019.

Rodgers was placed on the 7-day disabled list due to a hamstring injury at Triple-A Albuquerque retroactive to Sunday.

Rodgers is hitting .241 with zero home runs, zero walks and seven strikeouts in his first seven games (29 plate appearances) with Triple-A Albuquerque.

Colorado Rockies top prospect Brendan Rodgers was promoted to Triple-A on Sunday after hitting .275 with 17 home runs and 12 stolen bases in Double-A. The 21-year-old is rocking an impressive 16% HR/FB rate that has stayed consistent from Single-A, a sub-20% strikeout rate, and the best stolen base rate of his career as he's only been caught three times so far this season. Rodgers has logged most of his time at shortstop, but he's also spent a decent number of games at second or third base. With Colorado starting All-Stars at shortstop and third base, Rodgers' best bet for playing time in 2019 is at second, but he'll have plenty of competition of his own there with Garrett Hampson and possibly DJ LeMahieu (if the team decides to re-sign him). Rodgers is still Colorado's best prospect, and he should show prodigious power in Albuquerque.

Colorado Rockies top prospect Brendan Rodgers jacked his 14th home run of the season on Thursday. The 21-year-old infielder is considered the team's top prospect and MLB's 10th best prospect overall, and he'll likely top 30 home runs this season. Unfortunately, it's unlikely he sees the bigs this year unless there is a major injury as his natural position of shortstop and adopted position of second base are both filled with strong players at the big league level.

Colorado Rockies shortstop prospect Brendan Rodgers is having a nice season for Double-A Hartford. Rodgers has hit .283 with 13 home runs, 46 RBI and eight stolen bases. Rodgers is one of the top prospects in all of baseball and may force his hand to the big leagues before the summer is over. Rodgers is projected to be one of the best shortstop prospects in the game and will have Coors Field to his advantage once he gets promoted. Rodgers offers plus power at the shortstop position to go along with speed. Rodgers should be owned in all dynasty leagues and is a watch-list candidate in redraft leagues.

Rodgers went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a double for Double-A Hartford in its 6-1 win over Altoona on Sunday.

Colorado Rockies middle infield prospect Brendan Rodgers went 2-for-4 with three runs, three RBI and a walk to up his batting average to .289 on Sunday for Double-A Hartford. Rodgers, 21, was the third overall pick in the 2015 draft currently the 12th ranked prospect according to MLB.com. Rodgers has begun playing second base this season instead of shortstop and it could allow him to reach the big leagues quicker as the Rockies seem happy with Trevor Story and current second baseman DJ LeMahieu is scheduled for free agency following this season. Rodgers offers both contact and power tools to hit for a strong average and will have Coors Field on his side when he does get the promotion to the big leagues. Rodgers should already be owned in dynasty leagues, but likely won't offer much value in redraft leagues this year unless DJ LeMahieu is dealt.

Rodgers went 3-for-4 with a pair of home runs, five RBI and three runs for Double-A Hartford in its 12-4 win over Portland on Sunday.

Colorado Rockies shortstop and top prospect Brendan Rodgers had a killer day for the Double-A Hartford Yard Goats on Sunday. He went 3-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in a 12-4 rout over the Portland Sea Dogs. Rodgers is now hitting .298 on the season with six home runs and 22 RBI in 27 games. Unfortunately, Rodgers' timeline on reaching the majors remains hazy because his natural positions of shortstop and third base are locked down by young stars Trevor Story and Nolan Arenado. He's moved to second base for some work, but with DJ LeMahieu having a strong season so far, it's unclear if Colorado would try to re-sign him for another year. Without injuries, Rodgers may just be joining the cadre of top Rockies prospects who seem to be ready for the big time but are instead patiently waiting in the minors.
