DENVER, CO: The Rockies added four prospects - including 2015 Boise Hawk outfielder Yonathan Daza - to their 40-man roster on Monday to protect them from being exposed in next month's Rule 5 Draft.
Clubs had until 6 p.m. MT on Monday to protect eligible players.
Daza, who recently wrapped up an impressive stint in the Arizona Fall League, slashed .341/.376/.466 and stole 31 bases last year for Class A Advanced Lancaster.
In 16 games for Boise in 2015, Daza hit .418, scoring 18 runs and driving in 14.
The Rockies now have 37 players on their 40-man roster, leaving them flexibility in case they want to select a player in the Rule 5 Draft, which will take place Dec. 14 at the Winter Meetings in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.
