The Rockies recalled Mejia from Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
He'll be the club's 27th man during Thursday's doubleheader in Kansas City. Mejia, 24, has posted a 5.40 ERA and 19:6 K:BB over 11.2 innings this season with Albuquerque. If the right-hander sees any action Thursday, it will be his major-league debut.

Rockies' Nick Martini: On bench against lefty
Rotowire
Martini is out of the lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader with the Royals.
Martini should have a clearer path to playing time against right-handed pitching after the Rockies demoted fellow left-handed-hitting outfielder Zac Veen on Wednesday, but Martini will still sit regularly against left-handers. With southpaw Cole Ragans on the hill for the Royals in the first game of the day, Martini will cede his spot in the Colorado outfield to Jordan Beck.

Rockies' Jacob Stallings: Resting for early game
Rotowire
Stallings is out of the lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader with the Royals.
Hunter Goodman will be behind the plate for the first game of the day, but expect Stallings to enter the lineup at catcher for the second half of the doubleheader, when rookie Chase Dollander will be on the mound for the Rockies.

Rockies' Adael Amador: Sitting out first game of twin bill
Rotowire
Amador is not in the lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader in Kansas City.
The Royals will go with Kyle Farmer at second base in the first game of the double dip. Amador will likely be back in the lineup for the second contest.
Rockies' German Marquez: Wednesday's start rained out
Rotowire
Marquez and the Rockies won't face the Royals on Wednesday, as the game was postponed due to rain.
The two teams will play two games Thursday to make up for Wednesday's contest, and Marquez will presumably toe the slab in one of them. The 30-year-old will be looking to shake off a disastrous outing during his last start against the Dodgers, which saw him surrender seven runs in just two-thirds of an inning.

Rockies' Adael Amador: Getting regular run at 2B
Rotowire
Amador will start at second base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Royals.
After being called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on April 13 when Tyler Freeman (oblique) was placed on the injured list, Amador initially looked on track to fill Freeman's role as a backup infielder. However, with Ezequiel Tovar joining Freeman on the IL less than a week later, Amador has moved into a near-everyday role in the middle infield alongside Kyle Farmer. Amador will make his seventh start in nine games Wednesday, but he's thus far done little with his opportunity, going 2-for-20 with no walks and eight strikeouts.

Rockies' Jacob Stallings: Getting day off
Rotowire
Stallings is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.
Stallings had started at catcher in four of the Rockies' last six games, with his surge in playing time coming shortly after Colorado placed Kris Bryant (back) on the injured list, which has allowed Hunter Goodman to see more starts at designated hitter. Goodman will be back behind the dish Wednesday, so Stallings will head to the bench while Nick Martini steps in as Colorado's DH.

Rockies' Kris Bryant: Activation not imminent
Rotowire
Bryant (back) didn't join the Rockies for its three-game road trip in Kansas City that began Tuesday and is continuing to receive treatment in Denver, MLB.com reports.
Bryant is eligible to be activated from the 10-day injured list this week, but with his back pain still persisting, it's unclear when he might be ready to return to game action. The Rockies have deployed the 33-year-old exclusively at designated hitter so far this season with the hope that it would help him maintain health, but the gambit hasn't paid off so far. He produced a lowly .400 OPS over 41 plate appearances in 11 games before landing on the IL on April 14 due to lumbar degenerative disc disease.

Rockies' Kyle Farmer: Not in Colorado lineup
Rotowire
Farmer is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Kansas City.
Farmer has essentially been an everyday player for the Rockies this season, but he's now been out of the lineup for two of the last three games, including two straight versus righties. Aaron Schunk will be at shortstop and Adael Amador will be at second base for Colorado.

Rockies' Evan Justice: Clears waivers
Rotowire
The Rockies outrighted Justice to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.
The southpaw will remain in the organization after he went unclaimed off waivers when the Rockies designated him for assignment last weekend. Justice made 10 relief appearances in the majors over the previous two seasons but has pitched exclusively at Triple-A so far in 2025, logging an 8.10 ERA and 1.94 WHIP over 6.2 innings.

Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Returns from bereavement list
Rotowire
The Rockies activated Doyle (personal) from the bereavement list Wednesday.
Doyle hasn't started a game for the Rockies since April 10, as he dealt with a quadricep injury and then went on the bereavement list. He's back with the big club now and should reclaim an everyday role in center field and atop the lineup.

Rockies' Zac Veen: Sent back to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Rockies optioned Veen to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.
With Brenton Doyle back from the bereavement list, the Rockies have elected to send down Veen, who went just 4-for-34 with a 37.8 percent strikeout rate in 12 games. Veen should get another opportunity with the big club later this season, but he'll head back to Albuquerque for now.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Deals seven strong innings
Rotowire
Feltner allowed one run on three hits and a walk while striking out four over seven innings in Tuesday's loss to the Royals. He did not factor into the decision.
Feltner faced one over the minimum through five innings and was locked into a scoreless pitchers' duel with Kris Bubic. That ended in the bottom of the sixth when Drew Waters led off with a solo home run. Still, Feltner turned in his first start of seven innings since July 21 of last year and it was his second quality start in his last three outings. He'll aim to pick up his first win of the season in a home meeting against the Reds this weekend.
Veen is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Kansas City.
It's left-hander Kris Bubic on the bump for the Royals, so the lefty-hitting Veen will begin the contest on the bench. The rookie outfielder has now started two of four games versus lefties and eight of nine contests against righties since being called up. Jordan Beck, Mickey Moniak and Sean Bouchard will be in the outfield for the Rockies to begin Tuesday's series opener.

Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Remains on bereavement list
Rotowire
Doyle (personal) was not activated from the bereavement list prior to Tuesday's game in Kansas City.
Doyle shared on his Instagram account Sunday that he and his wife lost their unborn baby. He has missed the minimum three games while on bereavement, and the Rockies will give him as much time away from the club as he needs during this difficult period.
