Colorado Rockies: Why are they carrying three catchers? | Rox Pile
It goes without saying- the Rockies need all the help they can get in the bullpen. Prior to Thursday’s game, the team called up Yency Almonte from Triple-A Albuquerque to make for a nine-man bullpen. A roster casualty was Ryan McMahon, who was sent back down despite hitting a go-ahead three-run home run just the night before. While the need for bullpen help is understandable, it’s curious to see McMahon sent down instead of Tony Wolters, who has been dreadful at the plate.
Rockies carrying fewer position players, but why three catchers?
