7 Raimel Tapia RF

Tapia was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Tapia will rejoin the Rockies after finishing his season at Albuquerque with an impressive .369/.397/.529 line in 58 games. The 23-year-old spent some time with the big club earlier in the season, slashing a respectable .274/.324/.407 in 53 games, so he figures to see at-bats down the stretch as a reserve outfielder.

Tapia was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday, MLB.com reports.

The Rockies shipped Tapia back to the minors to make room on the active roster for Ian Desmond (calf), who started in left field Monday against the Tigers in his return from the disabled list. Though Tapia's latest stint with the Rockies lasted less than a week, he should rejoin the big club when rosters expand Friday. He'll likely serve as a depth outfielder over the final month of the season.

The Rockies recalled Tapia from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

He'll assume the active roster spot of fellow outfielder Mike Tauchman, who was optioned to Albuquerque in a corresponding move. With a .287 average, 12 extra-base hits and five steals in 133 plate appearances across multiple stints with the Rockies earlier this season, Tapia could have some appeal in NL-only formats or deeper mixed leagues if he's able to find regular playing time.

Tapia was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

Despite slashing .318/.362/.545 with a .907 OPS over the month of July, the young outfielder has seen a rough decline in playing time recently thanks to the hot hitting of Gerardo Parra. Tapia should see more at-bats down in the minors -- where he was batting .349 with 25 RBI before being called up -- and presents a viable option for a promotion when rosters expand in September. Ryan McMahon was recalled in a corresponding move to provide infield depth.

Tapia was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

This marks Tapia's fourth stint with the big-league team this year. He played regularly from mid-June until the All-Star break and fared well at the plate, but with Gerardo Parra, Charlie Blackmon and Carlos Gonzalez all presumed to be healthy, there doesn't appear to be a path to regular at-bats for Tapia. If regular starts were to open up, Tapia would become an appealing add in a variety of formats given his speed and contact skills.
