Former Colorado Rockies, Atlanta Braves, and Baltimore Orioles infielder Rio Ruiz has signed with the LG Twins, according to MLB Network’s Jon Heyman on Twitter.
The Rockies announced that four players — infielders Josh Fuentes and Rio Ruiz and right-handers Yency Almonte and Tommy Doyle — have cleared waivers and been assigned outright to Triple-A Albuquerque.
The Albuquerque favorite struggled to gain a foothold with limited playing time. Welcome to the 2021 edition of Ranking the Rockies, where we take a look back at every player to log playing time for the Rockies in 2021.
Rio Ruiz made an immediate impact for the Colorado Rockies when he was promoted from Triple-A. Now in his second stint with the parent club, Ruiz continues to contribute with only seven games remaining in Colorado’s 2021 season.
As the MLB trade deadline approaches later in the week, the Colorado Rockies shook up their roster by adding infielder Rio Ruiz to the active roster. To make room for Ruiz, the Rockies designated Matt Adams for assignment.
