The Colorado Rockies announced another assortment of roster moves prior to game two of tonight’s double header against the San Diego Padres. The highlight of these moves is the promotion of right-handed pitcher Jake Bird from Triple-A Albuquerque to the 40-man roster and the Rockies’ active roster. He will be available out of the bullpen tonight and wear no. 59 on his uniform.
Jake Bird, 26, was drafted out of UCLA by the Rockies in the fifth round of the 2018 amateur draft. Bird had a strong career with UCLA and has transitioned that into a strong career in the Rockies’ minor league system.
