Rockies' Sean Bouchard: Reaches base in debut

Bouchard went 0-for-3 with a walk Sunday against the Padres.

Bouchard was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday but did not appear in a game until Sunday when he started in left field and hit eighth to make his big-league debut. The 26-year-old doesn't have much prospect pedigree, but he has consistently shown an above-average bat in the minors. Even so, he isn't likely to find regular playing time in Colorado without a significant number of injuries ahead of him.
