The Colorado Rockies are a slumping team in transition as the second half of the season begins with a weekend series against the Yankees.
Black said the club has fallen short in two major areas.
Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Kyle Freeland reacts in pain after chasing a bunt single hit by the San Francisco Giants’ Brett Wisely in the seventh inning of a baseball game in San Francisco, Sunday, July 9, 2023. Freeland was injured on the play and left the game. They have come fast and furious, with the latest blow coming Sunday in San Francisco when left-handerwith a dislocated right shoulder while diving to make a play on a bunt.
Rockies starters have a 6.47 ERA, the worst in the majors, and are on pace to be the worst in franchise history. The 1999, pre-humidor rotation had a 6.19 ERA. The bullpen could soon get a boost with the return of Tyler Kinley. The right-hander, who posted a 0.75 ERA in 25 games last season before sustaining an elbow injury and undergoing surgery, has had two outings at the team’s facility in Scottsdale, Ariz. He will be assessed Thursday at the team’s workout facility and then likely begin a minor-league rehab stint, beginning with two games for Single-A Spokane.There is better news on this front.
Hand’s situation is more complicated. The contract includes a $7 million team option for 2024 with a $500,000 buyout. The option becomes a mutual option if Hand is traded during the season.
