The Colorado Rockies will push back pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez’s next start from Saturday to Tuesday. One of the team’s top pitching prospects, Esmil Rogers, will make the start in his place.
The Colorado Rockies’ come-from-behind 4-3 win Wednesday against the Cincinnati Reds not only moved the team a full four games ahead of the Giants and to within 2 1/2 games of the division-leading Dodgers. It likely allowed Troy Tulowitzki and Ian Stewart, both suffering from back injuries, to get another day of rest.
The two guys the Rockies absolutely cannot lose — Troy Tulowitzki and Ubaldo Jimenez — hurt themselves in the same game. What injuries to the Rockies qualify as season killers?
With Colorado Rockies closer Huston Street out for a few games at least with biceps tendonitis, the team will rely on a pitcher who has finally found his role in the major leagues.
The Colorado Rockies’ Todd Helton ranks fifth among major-league hitters in pitches per plate appearance. Helton sees an average of 4.32 pitches each time he steps to the plate. Which is what made his third at-bat in Tuesday’s 8-3 win against the Mets so special.
The Denver Broncos have hinted strongly that they have no intention of trading disgruntled wide receiver Brandon Marshall, but rumors persist that the Broncos are still shopping him.
Jason Giambi and Jose Contreras will join the Rockies on Tuesday as major-league rosters expand for September. Who will be coming with them?
