Rockies prospect Josh Fuentes out 4-6 weeks with hand injury

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Josh Fuentes’ first big-league camp has ended almost before it started.

The Rockies’ corner infield prospect — and cousin to all-star third baseman Nolan Arenado — is scheduled to undergo surgery to his left hand Wednesday afternoon and will be out of action for an estimated four-to-six weeks.

Fuentes, who shined at Triple-A Albuquerque last season and was named the Pacific Coast League MVP, injured the hamate bone in his left hand on Monday.

“He hurt his hand in live BP (batting practice) a couple of days ago and he felt a little something in his wrist,” manager Bud Black said Wednesday morning.
