14 Tony Wolters C

Wolters is batting .162 with two home runs and eight RBI across 89 plate appearances this season.

Wolters tapered off significantly in the second half of last season, and it seems like that sluggish finish has carried over into the 2018 campaign. As one would expect, his numbers at Coors Field are fine -- he holds an .814 OPS in 34 at-bats at home. However, he's struggling mightily on the road, as he's just 2-for-40 (.050) away from Colorado. With Chris Iannetta ahead of him in the pecking order and prospect Tom Murphy scorching the baseball at Triple-A, Wolters' time as a major-league contributor may be running out.

Wolters went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Friday's 8-7 win over the Mets.

The blast was his first of the season -- and his first extra-base hit. Wolters hasn't been able to get anything going at the plate so far, posting a .140/.240/.209 slash line in 16 games, and even though Chris Iannetta hasn't been doing much better at the plate, Wolters' opportunities for playing time will be few until he strings together some hits.

Wolters went 2-for-3 with two RBI in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Padres.

The 25-year-old has had a miserable start to the season, slashing .152/.275/.152, but incredibly he has as many RBI as hits (five). With Chris Iannetta also sluggish at the plate to begin the year, Wolters should continue seeing fairly regular playing time in the short term.

Wolters went 2-for-3 with a walkoff walk in Saturday's 3-2 victory over the Braves.

Wolters received his third start of the season and delivered with his first two hits of the year. He also provided the relatively anticlimactic heroics, drawing a four-pitch walk against closer Arodys Vizcaino to drive in the winning run. Wolters is now 2-for-10 on the year with a .533 OPS as he continues working as Chris Iannetta's backup until prospect Tom Murphy is ready for big-league duty.

Wolters will begin the regular season as the Rockies' backup catcher, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

The infielder-turned-catcher proved his worth this spring by producing a .294 batting average and walking just one fewer time than he struck out (4:5 BB:K) in 34 at-bats. Fellow youngster Tom Murphy has much more offensive upside than Wolters, but Wolters' left-handed bat and improved defense behind the dish ultimately won out. That isn't to say Murphy won't leapfrog Wolters on the depth chart later in the season, but for now, Wolters' spot in the majors is safe.
