Mickey Moniak was placed on the 10-day injured list by the Rockies due to right ankle tendinitis. Sterlin Thompson was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque to take Moniak’s roster spot. Moniak’s ankle injury occurred after he collided with the wall during a mid-May series against the Pirates. He played through the injury for a couple of weeks but will now need time to recover. The injury coincided with a slump, with Moniak going 2-for-20 over his last seven games. Despite the recent slump, he has produced strongly overall, including a .280/.335/.607 line across 164 plate appearances and 12 home runs. Thompson will start at DH against Arizona’s Michael Soroka as Colorado deals with outfield injuries.
"The Rockies announced they've placed Mickey Moniak on the 10-day injured list with right ankle tendinitis. Rookie outfielder Sterlin Thompson is up from Triple-A Albuquerque to take his spot on the roster. Thomas Harding of MLB.com reported the moves before the official announcement."
"Manager Warren Schaeffer tells team reporter Kelsey Wingert-Linch that Moniak injured his ankle when he collided with the wall during a mid-May series against the Pirates. He has played through the injury for a couple weeks but will need some time on the shelf."
"Moniak has probably not coincidentally been in a slump since that series. He's 2-20 over his last seven games. Moniak had been one of the more productive hitters in the sport before that and still carries a strong .280/.335/.607 slash line across 164 plate appearances. He leads the team with 12 home runs, a top 10 mark in the National League."
"Thompson, a supplemental first-rounder from the 2022 draft, is up for the second time in his MLB career. He went 1-8 in a three-game stretch last week before being optioned back to Triple-A. The Florida product is in the lineup at DH tonight against Arizona righty Michael Soroka. Colorado is shorthanded in the outfield with Moniak and Brenton Doyle landing on the injured list in consecutive days."
