Atlanta claimed Molina off waivers from the Rockies on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Molina holds an ugly 6.96 ERA over 52 appearances at the major-league level after being taken in the Rule 5 Draft two years ago. The 23-year-old has primarily been used as a starter in the minors and will likely begin the 2026 campaign as rotation depth at Triple-A Gwinnett.

Molina (1-1) was the pitcher of record in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Diamondbacks after striking out two while giving up one hit and one walk over a scoreless inning of relief.

EDGE Analysis

The Rockies called Molina up from Triple-A Albuquerque to make a start Aug. 5 versus the Blue Jays, but after surrendering seven earned runs on nine hits and one walk over five innings in that outing, he was moved to the bullpen. After Molina tossed 2.1 innings in relief in Thursday's series opener, the Rockies turned to him again Sunday in the top of the seventh inning while Arizona was up 4-1. Molina came through with a clean frame, then ended up picking up the win after the Rockies put up four runs in the bottom of the inning.

Molina (0-1) took the loss Tuesday, allowing seven runs on nine hits and a walk over five innings against the Blue Jays. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

Molina made it through five innings Tuesday, but surrendering five home runs proved costly in the Rockies' loss. It was the right-hander's first MLB appearance since June 25, and his struggles have extended to Triple-A Albuquerque, where he's posted a 6.59 ERA and 1.89 WHIP across 69.2 innings this season.

The Rockies recalled Molina from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Molina will start Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays in what will be his first start and sixth appearance at the big-league level in 2025. The right-hander has allowed seven runs with a 6:0 K:BB over 8.2 innings in his five relief outings. Molina could earn multiple turns in Colorado's rotation until Antonio Senzatela (finger) or German Marquez (biceps) returns.

The Rockies will recall Molina from Triple-A Albuquerque and will have him enter the rotation for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays at Coors Field, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kyle Freeland has been dealing with a sinus infection and will be pushed back from Tuesday to make his next start in Wednesday, but Colorado already had an existing opening in its rotation for the series with the Blue Jays after Antonio Senzatela (finger) was placed on the injured list Saturday. Molina will be called upon to take over Senzatela's spot, and assuming he's not used as a primary pitcher out of the bullpen, the 23-year-old will pick up his second MLB start and his first of the 2025 season. Since being optioned to Triple-A on June 27, Molina has been one of Albuquerque's most effective starters, as he's turned in a 3.06 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 15:4 K:BB in 17.2 innings over four outings. Molina could be in line for multiple turns through the Colorado rotation until the Rockies get one of Senzatela or German Marquez (biceps) back from the IL.

The Rockies optioned Molina to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Molina will yield his spot on the active roster to Kyle Freeland (back), who's been activated from the injured list. Molina allowed seven runs with five strikeouts and no walks over 7.2 innings in four appearances during this MLB stint.

The Rockies recalled Molina from Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Molina made one scoreless appearance with the Rockies earlier this season. The 23-year-old reliever will give the big club a fresh arm for the bullpen and is likely to work in a lower-leverage role.

The Rockies optioned Molina to Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Molina made just one appearance during his brief stint with the big club, tossing a perfect inning. The Rockies will announce a corresponding move prior to Friday's game in Arizona.

The Rockies recalled Molina from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Molina made 35 appearances (one start) with the Rockies as a Rule 5 selection in 2024, but he's made the move to the rotation at Albuquerque this season. Over his seven starts, Molina has produced a 9.20 ERA, 2.39 WHIP and 23:18 K:BB in 30.1 innings. The Rockies have an opening in the rotation after optioning Bradley Blalock to Albuquerque in a corresponding move, but Molina is expected to serve as a long man out of the Colorado bullpen.
