Joe said Sunday that he's made a full recovery from the right hamstring strain that sidelined him for the final month of the 2021 season, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Joe hasn't faced any limitations since reporting to spring training once the MLB lockout was lifted and looks to be in good position to enter the 2022 season in a near-everyday role. His ability to play every outfield spot plus the two corner-infield positions may prompt the Rockies to view Joe as more of a utility man, but the addition of a full-time designated hitter in the National League aids his chances of garnering regular at-bats. Though Joe was a minor-league journeyman with little track record at the MLB level prior to 2021, he seized hold of the leadoff role prior to getting injured last September and finished the season with a .285/.379/.469 slash line to go with eight home runs, 35 RBI and 23 runs across 211 plate appearances. Joe makes for a decent target in the end game of deeper-league drafts.
