Rest-of-Season Projections
Cut loose Thursday
Denorifa was released from Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
He leaves the Rockies system after failing to make the big club out of spring training and going .275/.383/.353 in 61 plate appearances with the Isotopes. Denorfia can play all three outfield spots and has shown fleeting signs of utility in a major-league lineup, most notably in 2013 when he hit .279/.337./.395 with two home runs and 11 steals in 144 games for the Padres. Expect him to catch on with another organization before the season is done.

Denorfia spent a month on the DL with a hamstring injury last year, but the Cubs hardly missed him. The veteran, who has played on five teams in his decade in the majors, will be looking for his sixth this year, but he may find it tough sledding getting a decent gig. The 35-year-old outfielder had 10 home runs and 11 stolen bases as recently as 2013, but in 212 at-bats with the Cubs last year, he had three dingers and failed to steal a base for the first time since 2009 (when he had just two plate appearances). Even worse, his 15:56 BB:K was the worst of his career and his .353 BABIP led to just a .269 batting average. One wouldn't say he's fallen off a cliff, because he was never a big star, but the end appears to be in sight.
