Prospects, such as Toglia, third-baseman/outfield Ryan Vilade and infielder Colten Welker, are members of the “satellite squad” working out in Denver at Coors Field and Metropolitan State University of Denver, while using the Pepsi Center as a clubhouse.

Also, Rockies veteran non-roster left-handed relief pitcher Tim Collins has withdrawn from the satellite camp and won’t pitch this season. Though it’s presumed that Collins will not play because of the coronavirus pandemic, the Rockies did not confirm that as the reason.

Collins, 30, who is 12-17 with a 3.60 ERA in 275 big-league games with the Royals, Nationals and Cubs, did not make the 30-man roster out of summer camp.
