The Colorado Rockies defeated the Cleveland Guardians 6-4 in a spring training game at Salt River Fields on Thursday. Top pitching prospect Chase Dollander had a strong start, pitching four scoreless innings, rebounding from a rough performance last Saturday. He is battling for a spot in the starting rotation. Veteran catcher Jacob Stallings hit two home runs and drove in four runs, while outfielders Nick Martini, Nolan Jones, and Jordan Beck also had productive outings.
In injury news, No. 2 prospect Charlie Condon suffered a left wrist injury while playing in a minor league game on Tuesday. Condon, a highly touted prospect signed with a significant bonus, struggled in his first season in pro baseball last year due to a hand injury.
The Rockies will face the Texas Rangers next, with Ryan Feltner, Victor Vodnik, and Tyler Kinley expected to pitch. Fans can sign up for Rockies Insider to receive more MLB analysis.
