Colorado Rockies (Pitcher / Col)
Latest News:
05.16.12
Jamie Moyer gave the Rockies 6.1 strong innings of one run ball to pick up the win over the D-Backs on Wednesday night.
Impact:
Moyer had what might be considered his best start of the season. He went 6.1 innings and struck out five. Although a great story his fantasy prospects are bleak at this stretch of his career.
05.16.12
Young has been activated from the restricted list, Troy Renck of the Denver Post reports.
Impact:
Young will take the place of Chris Nelson on the disabled list and could see some time at shortstop with Troy Tulowitzki dealing with a leg injury, aside from his usual duties as a super utility type.
05.16.12
Troy Tulowitzki (leg) is starting Wednesday against San Francisco, Troy Renck of the Denver Post reports.
Impact:
Tulowitzki still says he feels the pain from the line drive which struck his leg earlier in the week, so consider him day-to-day for now despite his appearance in the lineup.
05.16.12
Chris Nelson has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a wrist injury, Troy Renck of the Denver Post reports.
Impact:
Nelson will be replaced on the roster by Eric Young Jr. As of now, it's unknown if Nelson will need more than the requisite 15 days on the disabled list.
05.16.12
Marco Scutaro appeared as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning Tuesday and lined a pitch over the left field wall against the Giants Santiago Casilla in what proved to be the game-winning run.
Impact:
Over his last three games, Scutaro has tripled his RBI total -- to three. His job appears safe since none of the other infield options are faring much better, as highlighted Tuesday by Jordan Pacheco's failure to run out a dropped pop fly that cost the Rockies a run.
05.16.12
Although Troy Tulowitzki made it through Tuesday's game after being hit in the leg by a teammate's line drive the previous day, he still feels pain and has swelling and bruising. When asked how he feels he replied, "terrible," according to Troy Renck of The Denver Post.
Impact:
While it looks like Tulowitzki may avoid a DL stint, a closer examination of the game shows he was far from 100 percent and even looked hobbled legging out a hit. The problem is the Rockies don't have off until May 24, so as much of a gamer as he is, know that he may be playing on a bad wheel for a bit, and he's also not out of the woods for a day or two of rest either.
05.16.12
Rex Brothers vultured his second win Tuesday after pitching a wild eighth inning against the Giants.
Impact:
He opened the inning with a four-pitch walk, then following a sacrifice bunt, threw a ball in the dirt on an intentional walk and proceeded to walk Gregor Blanco on four more pitches. Brandon Belt bailed him out by swinging through what would have been his 13th straight pitch out of the strike zone before he amped up his fastball to 97 MPH and got the Giants to chase his slider. Brothers has electric stuff, but he's difficult to rely on right now as his poor control has pushed his WHIP up over 2.00. The 12.5 K/9IP offsets some of the damage, but it's better to keep him in reserve if you can until he calms down.
05.15.12
Troy Tulowitzki (leg) went 2-for-4 with a run and an RBI in Tuesday's win over the Giants.
Impact:
It looks like he's fine after a pretty big scare Monday when he was hit by a line drive off of teammate Dexter Folwer's bat. X-rays came back negative, and at that point Tulowitzki seemed like a good bet to play the next day. As it turns out, it looks like he won't even miss an at-bat with the injury.
05.15.12
Rafael Betancourt worked around a hit and a walk to record the save Tuesday against the Giants.
Impact:
It was Betancourt's first save since April 26 and his first opportunity since May 2. The Rockies just haven't given him many opportunities, and he's been understandably rusty. Still, he got the job done, and in a year of unstable closer situations his looks about as locked in as possible.
05.15.12
Jeremy Guthrie (shoulder) was solid in his return from the disabled list, throwing 5.1 innings and allowing just one unearned run Tuesday against the Giants.
Impact:
Guthrie was a bit wild, walking four, but he struck out an equal number and thus managed to limit the damage. Still, he owns a 4.85 ERA and Coors Field doesn't project to be very kind to him, so he isn't much of a hot commodity at this time.
05.15.12
Jeremy Guthrie (shoulder) was activated prior to Tuesday's game against the Giants, Troy Renck of the Denver Post reports.
Impact:
In order to make room for Guthrie -- Tuesday's starting pitcher -- the Rockies optioned Carlos Torres to Triple-A Colorado Springs.
05.15.12
Updating earlier reports, while Troy Tulowitzki (leg) is currently listed in Tuesday's lineup against the Giants, that won't be confirmed until he takes batting practice and fields grounders prior to the game, Troy Renck of the Denver Post reports.
Impact:
Tulowitzki, who suffered a bruised left fibula Monday, was sporting a protective bandage Tuesday after undergoing treatment all day. "It's sore. Obviously, I want to be in there," said Tulowitzki.
05.15.12
Marco Scutaro is not listed in Tuesday's lineup against the Giants, Troy Renck of the Denver Post reports.
Impact:
As a result, Jon Herrera will get the nod at second base for the Giants on Tuesday, with Jordan Pacheco getting a start at third base.
05.15.12
Troy Tulowitzki (leg) is listed in Tuesday's lineup against the Giants, Troy Renck of the Denver Post reports.
Impact:
Tulowitzki was hit in the leg by a line drive Monday, but the deep bruise he sustained on his fibula will not keep him out of the lineup Tuesday.
05.14.12
Dexter Fowler (head) didn't start Monday, but later entered the game and had a walk and a strikeout.
Impact:
He also inadvertently created the biggest headline from Monday's game, hitting a line drive into the Rockies' dugout that struck teammate Troy Tulowitzki on the leg.
05.14.12
Jason Giambi (foot) was able to pinch-hit Monday and drew a walk before being lifted for a pinch-runner.
Impact:
Giambi's starts at first base are pretty few and far between, barring an injury to Todd Helton, so it's hard to get much of a read on his status based on his recent game activity.
05.14.12
Jeremy Guthrie (shoulder) will return from the DL on Tuesday to start against the Giants, the Rockies' official site reports.
Impact:
Guthrie hurt his shoulder in a bicycle accident and not by pitching, so in theory we should be less concerned about a relapse. The Giants got to Guthrie in his previous start against them, albeit in Coors Field.
05.14.12
Wilin Rosario hit his fifth homer in his 53rd at-bat of the year in Monday's loss to the Giants.
Impact:
It wouldn't be surprising if the ratio of playing time between he and Ramon Hernandez behind the plate flipped over the second half of the season, especially if the Rockies continue to fall out of the hunt in the NL West.
05.14.12
Christian Friedrich was superb Monday night against the Giants, holding them to one run over seven innings. He allowed six hits and a walk while striking out 10.
Impact:
The one blemish on his record Monday was a solo homer by Gregor Blanco, which caused Friedrich to leave with a no-decision. He needed just 93 pitches to get through his seven innings of work, throwing 69 for strikes.
05.14.12
Chris Nelson replaced an injured Troy Tulowitzki on Monday night, playing third base while Marco Scutaro moved over to shortstop and Jonathan Herrera moved from third to second.
Impact:
Depending on who the Rockies would call up if Tulowitzki needed to go on the DL, that's the likely infield arrangement for the near future.
