Machín figures to elect free agency after passing through waivers. The 32-year-old journeyman went 3-for-6 at the plate during a brief stint with the Rockies earlier this month.

Machín was sent down on Tuesday after going 3-for-6 in 10 days with the Rockies.

Machín heads back to the minors after spending roughly two weeks with Colorado in a bench role. The well-traveled 32-year-old infielder went 3-for-6 at the plate during his latest stint in the big leagues.

With Wilii Castro (foot) heading to the injured list on Saturday, Machin will get an opportunity to show the Rockies what he can do. The 32-year-old has hit an impressive .290/.371/.445 with 12 homers, 73 RBI and seven stolen bases in 488 plate appearances at Triple-A Albuquerque this season.

Machín appeared in just four big league contests with the Orioles in 2025, going 1-for-11 (.091) with a solo homer and a 2/1 K/BB ratio. He’ll get an opportunity in Cactus League action to compete for a reserve spot on the Rockies’ Opening Day roster, though he’ll be facing an uphill battle.
