Wilin Rosario (hand) hit in the batting cage Wednesday.

Wilin Rosario hit a two-run homer in the Rockies' loss to the Padres on Monday. The one-out fifth inning shot off Eric Stults was Rosario's only hit in four at-bats. Rosario missed a game over the weekend with a sore wrist, but he's suffering no ill effects with homers in each of his past two games.

Wilin Rosario hit his first home run of the season Sunday, but the Rockies lost to the Giants. Rosario hit 21 homers last season and is one of the more powerful catchers in the game, so it's surprising that it took 13 games to hit his first homer of 2014. It was only his third RBI and the 25-year-old is batting just .211, both numbers that should fix themselves quickly. He's not in the lineup for his defense, after all.
