The Rockies announced Monday that Collins has elected to opt out of the 2020 season.
EDGE Analysis
Collins had been added to the Rockies' 60-man player pool in late June and was present for summer camp, but he failed to win a spot on the season-opening 30-man roster. Rather than waiting around at the Rockies' alternative training site for a potential callup to the big club, Collins will remove himself from the 60-man pool and pack it in for 2020. He's scheduled to become a free agent during the offseason.

Collins will be a part of the Rockies' 60-man summer camp.
EDGE Analysis
Collins was in camp on a minor-league contract prior to the shutdown. He has plenty of big-league experience and could be called upon to pitch in low-leverage situations this season, particularly if and when injuries hit the Rockies' primary relievers.

Collins signed a minor-league contract with the Rockies on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Collins made nine relief appearances for the Cubs in 2019, spending most of the season with Triple-A Iowa, where he recorded a 4.67 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 37:16 K:BB across 27 innings. The 30-year-old served as the Royals primary set-up man during 2013 and will have the opportunity to make an impression on his fourth major-league coaching staff this spring.

Collins had his contract selected from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Collins was designated for assignment following Wednesday's win over the White Sox, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Collins pitched fairly well since being called up last week with one run allowed over three innings, but he gets bumped off the 40-man roster with Adbert Alzolay making his way to the majors. Collins is likely to return to Triple-A Iowa if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Collins was recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Thursday, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Collins will provide an additional left-handed arm out of the bullpen for Chicago's upcoming series against the Dodgers. He'll take the roster spot of Carl Edwards Jr. (back), who was sent to the injured list Thursday. In five appearances for the Cubs this season, the southpaw has compiled a 3.86 ERA, 1.93 WHIP and 2:2 K:BB in 4.2 innings.

He's pitched well at Triple-A previously this season, producing a 2.25 ERA and 0.92 WHIP with 14 strikeouts across 12 frames.
