Michael Toglia News: Heading to Triple-A

The Rockies optioned Toglia to Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday.

Toglia entered the season tasked with helping anchor the Rockies' lineup. However, the 26-year-old first baseman has slashed .194/.266/.349 with two steals, six home runs, 20 RBI and a league-leading 81 strikeouts in 186 plate appearances. Toglia will go to the minors to regain his form at the plate, with Keston Hiura being promoted to the majors in a corresponding move.
