Dexter Fowler had a monster night in Saturday's 10-2 romp over the Giants, going 3-for-5 with a double, a steal, two RBI and three runs scored.

Fowler began May in a 5-of-39 funk, failing to steal a base or hit a home run. In his last three games, he's 6-for-15 with two steals, an extra-base hit and five runs. Right hip flexor soreness hobbled Fowler earlier this month. If Saturday's speed is any indication, he's feeling a lot better.

Dexter Fowler (hip) hopes to return to the Rockies' lineup Saturday.

Dexter Fowler smoked his seventh home run of the season Thursday against the Mets.

Fowler finished 1-for-5 on the day, but because he reached via fielder's choice in two of his plate appearances, he ended up scoring three runs. The 27-year-old outfielder is one home run behind Justin Upton for the major league lead and just six behind his total from all of last season. Some may consider him a sell high, but we could be witnessing a true breakout season.

Dexter Fowler went 2-for-5 with a home run in Sunday's win over the Padres.

It was his fourth home run of the season. Fowler appears primed for a breakout after he quietly hit .300 with a .389 on-base percentage last year. His tools have always been tantalizing, but it looks like he's finally putting things together. Of course, how he performs on the road will be the real test.

Dexter Fowler clubbed a solo home run Friday against the Padres.

It was his only hit of the day. Fowler already has three home runs in four games this season after amassing 13 all of last season. That includes just two after the All-Star break. He appears primed to take another step forward this year.

Dexter Fowler - OF - Rockies

Rockies and OF Dexter Fowler avoided arbitration by agreeing to a two-year, $11.6 million contract.

The deal covers Fowler's second and third arbitration-eligible seasons. He's a Super Two qualifier, so he has a fourth arbitration year that is not covered. Fowler, 26, hit .300/.389/.474 with 13 home runs, 12 stolen bases and 53 RBI in 143 games last season for Colorado. He carries massive fantasy potential into 2013.

Dexter Fowler requested $5.15 million and was offered $4.25 million from the Rockies when arbitration figures were exchanged Friday.

It's the second time Fowler has been eligible for arbitration due to his status as a Super 2 player. After an impressive 2012 season where he hit .300/.389/.474, Fowler has been the subject of trade rumors this Winter, and could still be dealt before the season begins.
