The dynamic 23-year-old outfielder reached on a fielder’s choice in the third inning and attempted to steal his first base with the Rockies, but he was out by an eyelash at second base on a perfect throw from Eric Haase. He then crushed a ball off the wall in right field in the eighth inning, plating Brenton Doyle to extend the Rockies’ lead to five runs at 7-2. Veen has started each of his first three games — and hit second in the lineup on Thursday — though he’s just 2-for-12 (.167) with one RBI thus far. Fantasy managers just have to hope that the Rockies keep the faith and allow him to take his lumps in the lineup.

After fouling out and striking out in his two at-bats against Freddy Peralta, Veen dropped down a beautiful bunt single against Abner Uribe in the sixth inning to log his first career hit. The 23-year-old top prospect started in right field and batted seventh for the Rockies on Tuesday and is expected to see everyday action in a corner outfield spot. His dynamic blend of power and speed make him a worthwhile target in all leagues where he may still be available.

Veen will make his highly-anticipated big-league debut on Tuesday night after hitting .387 with one homer, eight RBI and one steal in eight games for Triple-A Albuquerque. The 23-year-old former top prospect missed a ton of development time due to injury after being selected ninth overall back in 2020. He’s an above-average runner with decent contact skills, which should translate to high batting averages and a ton of stolen bases in Colorado. He’s worthy of a speculative roster spot in all fantasy formats as a potential high-impact five-category contributor.

Jordan Beck was sent down Monday to create a spot. Veen, who was considered for the outfield this spring, will make his major league debut after opening up with a .387/.472/.677 line in eight games for Albuquerque. He’s primarily played right field in the minors, so we imagine he’ll start there over Nick Martini most nights. He’ll probably do some sitting against lefties, though. Mixed leaguers with an open roster spot could give him a try. He’ll get three home games against Milwaukee this week before the Rockies begin a tough road trip to San Diego and Los Angeles. Not many of their hitters will be worth using during that sequence.
