ST. LOUIS -- Time will tell if Rockies 2010 No. 1 Draft pick Kyle Parker is in the Majors to stay. But at least this time he's here to play.
The club recalled Parker, an outfielder and first baseman who turns 26 on Sept. 30, on Saturday while placing outfielder Corey Dickerson on the 15-day disabled list with non-displaced fractures of two ribs.
Last year, Parker was called up three times, but received just 26 at-bats, as veteran Michael Cuddyer (now with the Mets) received the outfield time and Justin Morneau played at first base while making a run to the National League batting title.
