Elehuris Montero News
Colorado Rockies first baseman Elehuris Montero went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer during Thursday's Cactus League game against the Chicago Cubs. MLB.com's Thomas Harding relayed that manager Bud Black sees Montero as a candidate to play first base or designated hitter in 2024. The veteran skipper also mentioned the club could occasionally play Kris Bryant in right field in order to get Montero's bat in the lineup. This is high praise for the 25-year-old right-hander as he looks to improve on a 2023 campaign in which he slashed .243/.290/.426 with 11 homers, a 4.9 K%, a 36.2 BB%, and a 76 wRC+.
The Colorado Rockies optioned infielder Elehuris Montero to Triple-A Albuquerque after Sunday's game. Montero will head back to the farm to work on some things offensively after hitting just .198/.223/.321 with two home runs, five doubles, a triple, 13 RBI and 11 runs scored in 112 trips to the plate over 35 games in his second major-league season. The 24-year-old third baseman went only 6-for-42 (.143) with a home run, two doubles, four RBI, three runs scored and 18 strikeouts in 14 games since June 10. Montero will need to raise his walk rate and lower his strikeout rate at Albuquerque before the Rockies give him another chance in the second half of the 2023 season.
Colorado Rockies corner infielder Elehuris Montero is off to a solid start in 2023. He is slashing .250/.250/.438 with a home run and two RBI across 16 plate appearances. The 24-year-old has started at third base and hit in the middle of the order for all three games. He has won the starting third base gig over veteran Mike Moustakas. Montero homered on Opening Day and is coming off a big spring, hitting .312 with five homers and 12 RBI over 22 games in Cactus League action. He can be used as a streamer in Week 2 as the Rockies have four of six games at home in a favorable matchup against the Nationals. Fantasy managers searching for corner infield help should look to add Montero in all league formats.
