Rockies' Willie MacIver: Playing with rookie-ball affiliate
Rotowire
MacIver (shoulder) has gone 4-for-11 with two doubles, three walks, four runs, three RBI and three stolen bases over four games in the Arizona Complex League since being assigned to the Rockies' rookie-level affiliate June 5.
MacIver finished the 2022 campaign at Triple-A Albuquerque, but he opened the current season in the ACL while he works his way back from a significant right shoulder injury. The 26-year-old has performed well at the dish thus far in the ACL and should gradually move up the minor-league ladder before settling at Albuquerque or Double-A Hartford.

Rockies' Willie MacIver: Facing long-term absence
Rotowire
MacIver is expected to miss the first 6-to-8 weeks of Triple-A Albuquerque's season after he recently received an anti-inflammatory injection in his right shoulder, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
MacIver was pegged to serve as Albuquerque's primary backstop to begin the season, but the injury will likely keep him on the shelf until around late May or early June. The Rockies signed Grayson Greiner to a minor-league deal Tuesday to bolster their catching depth at Triple-A.
