The Rockies reassigned Machin to minor-league camp Thursday. Machin will likely begin the season at Triple-A Albuquerque after he was unable to win a utility spot on the Rockies' Opening Day roster. The 32-year-old resurfaced in the majors for the first time since 2022 as a member of the Orioles organization last season, appearing in four games and going 1-for-11 with a solo home run.
