Outfield prospect Yanquiel Fernandez will be promoted from Triple-A Albuquerque to the Rockies on Tuesday, a major league source confirmed.
The news was first reported by Francys Romero.
The Rockies are also calling up veteran catcher Austin Nola on Tuesday, meaning that starting catcher Hunter Goodman is likely headed to the 10-day injured list because of a sore hamstring. Goodman, who’s having an All-Star worthy season, was originally projected to be ready to play against the Astros on Tuesday night at Coors Field.
Fernandez, 22, is ranked as Colorado’s No. 7 prospect by MLB Pipeline.
