Rockies Call Up No. 2 Prospect Condon from Hot Triple-A Streak
National Desk
May 2, 2026
DENVER — The Colorado Rockies promoted their No. 2 prospect Charlie Condon from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday, injecting fresh power into a lineup eyeing a National League wildcard push. MLB's No. 64 overall prospect, Condon has dominated early in the Pacific Coast League, slashing .325/.438/.675 with four home runs, nine RBIs and 13 hits in 40 at-bats.[3] His call-up mirrors past successes, like Ryan McMahon's 2017 promotion when the third-ranked prospect led Triple-A in hits with 152 and hit .354 overall.[1]
Condon and fellow top prospect Cole Carrigg, the Rockies' No. 6 ranked player and a 2023 second-round pick, lit up Southwest University Park on Sunday in Albuquerque's 19-12 extra-inning thriller over El Paso. Condon went 3-for-5 with his fourth homer — a 413-foot, 101 mph blast off Padres lefty Miguel Cienfuegos — while switch-hitting shortstop Carrigg notched a season-high three hits, including his first Triple-A homer at 110.1 mph exit velocity.[2][4] Together, they delivered six hits and seven RBIs, nearly cycling in the hitter-friendly Isotopes' park.[3]
At Coors Field, where thin air amplifies offense, Condon's left-handed slugging fits perfectly after impressing Rockies brass in 2026 spring training. The 2024 third overall draft pick has quickly adapted to Triple-A, clobbering his first two homers there by late March and talking mindset with Albuquerque media on March 25.[5][6] With the Isotopes' 2026 roster loaded with Rockies talent, Condon's promotion signals Denver's faith in homegrown bats to complement veterans amid a tight wildcard race.[7]
