  • Rockies' Sam Hilliard: Avoids arbitration with Colorado

    Hilliard agreed to a one-year, $1 million contract with the Rockies on Friday to avoid arbitration, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

    The 30-year-old finished the 2024 campaign as a regular in Colorado's outfield, so it's not a major surprise he was tendered a contract for 2025. Hilliard played in 58 big-league games and had 10 home runs with a .239/.305/.507 slash line, though he also struck out at a 35.4 percent clip.

    Hilliard opened the scoring with a second-inning homer, but that was the lone run the Rockies could muster in their season finale. This was Hilliard's 10th homer of the campaign, five of which he hit over his last 15 games. He added a .239/.305/.507 slash line with 27 RBI, 26 runs scored and five stolen bases over 158 plate appearances.

    Hilliard will start in right field and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

    Hilliard will stick in the lineup for the sixth game in a row, this time occupying right field after his previous five starts came in either center or left field. The 30-year-old has earned the uptick in playing time by going 5-for-18 with a home run, a double, two walks, a stolen base, three RBI and three runs over the previous five contests.

  • Rockies' Sam Hilliard: Belts homer Friday

    Hilliard went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Dodgers.

    Hilliard has produced when in the lineup in September, going 8-for-26 (.308) with four homers and 10 RBI over his last 10 contests. He's picking up extra playing time with Brenton Doyle slowed by knee and finger issues this month. In a part-time role, Hilliard has nine homers, 26 RBI, 24 runs scored and four stolen bases while slashing .261/.320/.548 over 131 plate appearances this season.

    Hilliard delivered a game-tying, two-out blast in the ninth inning, and the Rockies went on to win in the 10th. Over his last nine games, Hilliard has four homers and eight RBI. The outfielder is at a .248/.302/.533 slash line with eight long balls, 23 RBI, 22 runs scored and four stolen bases over 119 plate appearances this season. He continues to fill a depth role for the Rockies, rotating in as a reserve outfielder versus right-handed pitchers.

  • Rockies' Sam Hilliard: Homers in loss

    Hilliard has started consecutive games in center field while Brenton Doyle (leg) is dealing with an injury.

  • Rockies' Sam Hilliard: Three more hits in win

    Hilliard went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 9-8 win over Atlanta.

    Prior to this weekend, Hilliard went 2-for-18 over his previous 12 games, but he responded with consecutive three-hit efforts Saturday and Sunday. The outfielder is up to a .277/.338/.508 slash line with four home runs, 13 RBI, 15 runs scored, four stolen bases and three doubles over 77 plate appearances. While his bat has come to life, he still doesn't have a guaranteed place in the lineup, and he's likely to be limited to a platoon role at best.

  • Rockies' Sam Hilliard: Huge performance in loss

    Hilliard went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a home run, five RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's loss to Atlanta.

The outfielder's three hits in the contest marked a season high, as did his five RBI. The multi-hit effort was his third of the campaign.

  • Rockies' Sam Hilliard: On bench Tuesday

  • Rockies' Sam Hilliard: Drives in two

    Hilliard went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's extra-innings win against the Red Sox.

    Hilliard blasted a clutch home run in the 10th inning to tie the game at 7-7. It was his third homer of the season, and he's also hit .290 with five RBI and seven runs scored across 13 games in July. Hilliard is currently locked into a large-side platoon role in left field, though the impending returns of Nolan Jones (back) and Kris Bryant (oblique) will likely jeopardize his playing time.

  • Rockies' Sam Hilliard: On bench against LHP

  • Rockies' Sam Hilliard: Hitting bench against southpaw

    Hilliard is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

    The lefty-hitting Hilliard looks on track to serve as the Rockies' primary option in left field while Nolan Jones (back) is on the injured list, but Hilliard will likely hit the bench when the Rockies face southpaws. With lefty Jose Quintana taking the hill for the Mets on Sunday, Sean Bouchard will step in as the starter in left field in place of Hilliard, who had 5-for-13 with two home runs, one double, one stolen base, one walk, three RBI and three runs over the previous four contests.

  • Rockies' Sam Hilliard: Surprising source of power

    Hilliard went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Reds.

    Hilliard's playing time has been limited since the Rockies selected his contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on June 21. He got the start in center field Wednesday and delivered a big game from the bottom of the order, hitting his first two homers of the season. The outfielder is 4-for-15 (.267) with two stolen bases and six runs scored over 18 plate appearances this season. At best, Hilliard is a fourth or fifth outfielder for the Rockies, especially since the team already has a trio of left-handed-hitting outfielders ahead of him on the depth chart.

  • Rockies' Sam Hilliard: Set to join big club

    The Rockies are set to select Hilliard's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

  • Rockies' Sam Hilliard: Contract selected by Colorado

    The Rockies selected the contract of Hilliard from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

    The move comes with Charlie Blackmon landing on the 10-day IL due to a right hamstring strain. Over 65 games in Triple-A this season, Hilliard is slashing .288/.374/.542 with 14 home runs and 44 RBI over 305 plate appearances.

  • Rockies' Sam Hilliard: Outrighted to Triple-A

    Hilliard cleared waivers Saturday and was sent outright to Triple-A Albuquerque, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    Hilliard was squeezed off the Rockies' 40-man roster Thursday following the acquisition of Greg Jones but will officially remain in the Rockies' minor-league system. The 30-year-old outfielder slashed .236/.295/.431 across 78 plate appearances with Atlanta last season, and he could still return to Colorado this season if the Rockies run into depth issues in the outfield.

  • Rockies' Sam Hilliard: Booted off 40-man roster

    The Rockies designated Hilliard for assignment Thursday.

    Hilliard became expendable after the Rockies needed to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for shortstop/outfielder Greg Jones, whom Colorado acquired from Tampa Bay on Thursday. The 30-year-old Hilliard will now be exposed to waivers, but if he clears, he'll likely stick in the Colorado organization and open the season at Triple-A Albuquerque.

  • Rockies' Sam Hilliard: Back in Colorado via waivers

    The Rockies claimed Hilliard off waivers from the Orioles on Wednesday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    It's a return to his old stomping grounds for Hilliard, who slashed .212/.294/.423 with 29 homers in 214 games for the Rockies from 2019 through 2022. The move gives Hilliard's fantasy outlook a boost, as he goes from a place where he didn't seem likely to play to a team which has some uncertainty in right field.
