The Rockies sent DJ LeMahieu to the minors at the end of spring training in order for the 24-year-old to see regular playing time at shortstop. The club views him as an insurance policy in case Troy Tulowitzki gets injured, MLB.com reports.
LeMahieu has batted .360 with one homer, 22 RBI and a .511 slugging percentage in 32 games for Triple-A Colorado Springs.
"He's a big league player," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said Tuesday. "He's handled it well, it sounds like. He's showing that he can play there, too."
