The Colorado Rockies announced a few roster moves this morning:
- Selected the contract of RHP Keegan Thompson from Triple-A Albuquerque
- Placed RHP Victor Vodnik on the 15-day injured list with right ulnar nerve inflammation
- Designated IF Blaine Crim for assignment
Thompson will make his first appearances on the Rockies’ active roster after being claimed off waivers from the Cincinnati Reds in the offseason. He was DFA’d at the end of spring training and outrighted to the minors. Thompson made 11 total appearances (5 starts) for the Isotopes this season and has gone 1-3 with a 3.34 ERA, 10 walks and 19 strikeouts. In his last appearance on May 14, he pitched four innings and allowed two runs (one
earned) on five hits with two walks and two strikeouts. Thompson will wear #34.
In a corresponding move, Vodnik was placed on the 15-day IL with right ulnar nerve inflammation. Vodnik has struggled so far this season, including a rough outing on Monday against the Texas Rangers where he allowed three runs on just one hit with two walks and zero strikeouts. Vodnik owns an 8.00 ERA on the season, including an 8.44 ERA in May.
Blaine Crim was also designated for assignment. He came on strong in the waning months of 2025, but was sidelined by an oblique injury in spring training that ultimately cost him his spot on the MLB roster. Crim has performed well in Albuquerque so far — slashing .265/.339/.449 with seven home runs in 36 games — but it appears his time with the organization has run out.
