Kyle Karros News: Gets first big-league call-up

The Rockies selected Karros' contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

One of the top prospects in Colorado's farm system, Karros has slashed .306/.368/.500 with two home runs, four RBI and nine runs scored through 68 plate appearances since being promoted to Triple-A in mid-July. The 23-year-old infielder will now join the major-league roster to help make up for the loss of Orlando Arcia (elbow), who was placed on the injured list. Karros will start at third base in his MLB debut Friday in Arizona.
