Ezequiel Tovar, the next in a succession of Rockies shortstops behind Trevor Story and Troy Tulowitzki, fielded groundballs Thursday under a gray sky for the first time at Coors Field. But all he could see was the third deck. "Wow, this feels big," Tovar said of his new home. The Rockies on Thursday called up Tovar from Triple A to play out the…

For months now fans of the Colorado Rockies have been tantalized with idea of "Tovar Time:" the day in which the organization's no. 2 prospect and no. 28 MLB-wide prospect Ezequiel Tovar would be called up for his major league debut.

Colorado must reallocate Gilbreath's work for the 26 games that…
