Rockies Reassign Charlie Condon to Minor-League Camp
The Colorado Rockies announced on Thursday that they reassigned infielder/outfielder Charlie Condon to minor-league camp.

Colorado Rockies infielder/outfielder Tyler Freeman (back) was scratched from Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Cincinnati Reds with lower-back tightness, according to the team.

The 26-year-old former second-rounder by the Cleveland Guardians in 2017 played in 110 […]
