Troy Johnston went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run to help the Rockies to a 14-5 win at Toronto on Monday night.
Fantasy Impact
Johnston belted his first home run in a Rockies' uniform off of Toronto reliever, Spencer Miles, in the top of the sixth inning. He has appeared in three of Colorado's first four games of the year and is hitting .333 (3-for-9) with a home run and two runs batted in. Johnston hit .277 in 121 plate appearances last season and, if he continues to play nearly every day, could end up on the fantasy radar.
Johnston was claimed off waivers by Colorado in November and posted a .973 OPS across 22 spring training games to earn a spot on the Opening Day roster.
Fantasy Impact
He is expected to begin the season in a reserve role but could work his way into regular playing time given the depth situation in Colorado's outfield.
