US EditionRockies demote first baseman Michael Toglia
- The Colorado Rockies optioned struggling first baseman Michael Toglia to Triple-A Albuquerque before their June 1, 2025, game in New York.
- Toglia's demotion followed a severe offensive slump marked by a.125 batting average and 22 strikeouts over 40 at-bats after May 14, despite earlier power displays.
- The Rockies replaced Toglia on the roster by selecting infielder Keston Hiura’s contract from Albuquerque, where Hiura had performed well despite a history of strikeouts.
- Interim manager Warren Schaeffer said Toglia "needs to get better overall offensively" and that he wants him to improve strike zone control while in Triple-A.
- Toglia's reassignment aims to help him fix offensive issues amid Colorado’s historically poor 9-48 start to the season, with Hiura expected to get most of the first base playing time.
