Beck went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Friday against the Padres.
Beck made a splash with five home runs across a three-game stretch in late April. However, he hadn't gone yard again until Friday night -- a 12-game stretch. Beck was still productive in some ways in that span by hitting .255 with seven runs scored.

Rotowire
Beck went 2-for-3 with two walks and two solo home runs in Friday's 8-7 loss to the Reds.
Beck continued to mash the ball out of the park Friday. He now has five homers on the year, all of which have come over his last three games. He hasn't just been exploiting Coors Field, either -- the first three long balls came at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, which isn't known as a hitter's park. Beck's recent display of power could keep him in the Rockies' lineup even when Brenton Doyle (personal) returns.
Beck went 4-for-6 with three solo home runs in Thursday's doubleheader against the Royals.
Beck tallied his first home run of the season in the first game of the doubleheader, a 419-foot blast off Cole Ragans, before adding another two long balls in the nightcap. It was quite a day for the 24-year-old outfielder, who's gone 6-for-16 in five games since he was recalled from Triple-A. Overall, Beck's slashing .250/.341/.556 with seven runs scored, seven RBI and three stolen bases across 41 plate appearances as he looks to carve out a role in Colorado's outfield.

Rockies' Jordan Beck: Performs well in return to majors
Rotowire
Beck went 1-for-4 with a triple, three RBI and a run scored Saturday against the Nationals.
Beck was recalled to provide some extra depth due to Brenton Doyle (quadriceps/personal) being away from the team. The former immediately drew a start with a lefty on the mound and delivered a three-RBI triple in the seventh inning. Beck is likely to serve in a small-side platoon role, though his playing time will be worth monitoring until Doyle returns.

Rockies' Jordan Beck: Sent to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Rockies optioned Beck to Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.
Colorado isn't expected to announce a corresponding transaction until Tuesday, but prospect Zac Veen is likely to be called up from Albuquerque to replace Beck on the 26-man active roster ahead of the team's three-game series versus the Brewers. Beck secured a starting role coming out of spring training but had lost out on playing time to Mickey Moniak of late, cracking the lineup in just two of the Rockies' last five games. The 23-year-old will get the chance to play on an everyday basis in Albuquerque and will look to right the ship after slashing .150/.261/.150 with eight strikeouts over his 23 plate appearances for Colorado.

The Rockies are expected to option Beck to Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

With Beck headed to Albuquerque, the Rockies plan to call up prospect Zac Veen from Triple-A to replace him in the outfield. Veen will vie with Mickey Moniak and Nick Martini for playing time at the corner-outfield spots.

Rockies' Jordan Beck: Losing work to Moniak
Rotowire
Beck is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
Beck will head to the bench for the third time in five games, with all three of those absences coming against right-handed pitching. Playing time in left field seems to be tilting in favor of Mickey Moniak, who owns a 1.060 OPS compared to Beck's .411 through Colorado's first eight games.
Beck is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Phillies.
Beck will hit the bench for the second day in a row while the Rockies hand Mickey Moniak another start in left field after he went 1-for-2 at the dish in Wednesday's 5-1 loss. Through five games on the season, Beck has stolen two bags in as many attempts but has struggled at the plate, going 2-for-13 with five strikeouts against two walks. The Rockies could end up moving the right-handed-hitting Beck into the short side of a platoon with the lefty-hitting Moniak, though manager Bud Black hasn't clarified his plans for left field moving forward.

Rockies' Jordan Beck: Day off Wednesday
Rotowire
Beck is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Philadelphia.
The Phillies are starting right-hander Zack Wheeler, so it's not a bad day for Beck to receive a day of rest. Mickey Moniak will start in left field and bat ninth for the Rockies.
Rockies' Jordan Beck: Some improvement to close spring
Rotowire
Beck went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's Cactus League game against the White Sox.
Beck had a rough start to spring training, which led to some talk of him being on the roster bubble. However, he has collected five hits across his last 15 spring at-bats, highlighted by a pair of home runs, a double and four stolen bases. The Rockies' decision to trade Nolan Jones should also help Beck's chances of breaking camp with the big-league club and seeing regular at-bats, though the team has been clear that it has not yet made decisions about its outfield alignment other than Brenton Doyle starting in center field.

Rockies' Jordan Beck: Roster spot in jeopardy
Rotowire
Beck is being pushed for a roster spot by Nick Martini, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Beck was a projected regular between right field and DH entering spring training. However, he's hitting just .212 with 13 strikeouts across 33 at-bats in Cactus League action. That could be enough to convince the team that Beck needs more seasoning in the minors, though Harding still projects that the young outfielder will make the team with a starting role to begin the regular season.
Rockies' Jordan Beck: Spring performance picking up
Rotowire
Beck went 3-for-4 with a home run, four RBI, two total runs scored and a stolen base in Monday's Cactus League game against the Angeles.
Beck entered spring training as the favorite to start in right field for the Rockies, though he struggled out of the gate by collecting only one hit in his first 14 at-bats. However, he's gone 5-for-7 across his last two exhibitions while showcasing some pop and the ability to steal bases.
