On Wednesday morning prior to their final game of three against the Boston Red Sox, the Colorado Rockies announced that they have placed right-handed reliever Jaden Hill on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder tendonitis.
Hill, 26, was originally selected in the second round of the 2021 draft as a starting pitcher. However, he was converted into a reliever for the 2024 season. He has since become a regular contributor in the Rockies bullpen after posting a solid 3.38 ERA in 28 appearances last
season.
The Louisiana State University product started out strong this season. Through the end of May he had posted a 2.61 ERA with 23 strikeouts and just nine walks over 20.2 innings of work. Unfortunately, he has struggled in the month of June. In nine appearances this June he has completed just six innings and given up nine earned runs on eight hits, eight walks, and just five strikeouts. He has also hit three batters and seen his ERA grow to 5.06 while finishing a full inning in just three appearances.
In a corresponding roster move, the Rockies have recalled right-handed reliever Seth Halvorsen from the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes.
Halvorsen, 26, has a 3.31 ERA over 18 appearances and 16 strikeouts over 16.1 innings across multiple stints with the Major League roster.
