Overview
- Halvorsen left Saturday’s game after five pitches in the ninth inning of an 8-5 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates due to apparent elbow pain, and interim manager Warren Schaeffer said the prognosis is uncertain and doesn't look good.
- He leads the Rockies with 11 saves this season after taking over closing duties in June and has converted nine of his last ten opportunities.
- Antonio Senzatela was placed on the 15-day injured list for a blister on his right middle finger after lasting just two-thirds of an inning in Friday’s 17-16 victory.
- Left-hander Ryan Rolison was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move to reinforce the roster’s relief corps.
- The Rockies entered the weekend at 30-80 and are striving to avoid matching the modern-era record for losses as both the rotation and bullpen face mounting health concerns.
