Estevez pitched a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's 5-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Daniel Bard and Alex Colome both struggled in Thursday's win versus the Cardinals, so it's not surprising they were left in reserve Friday. Estevez stepped in seamlessly to pick up his second save of the campaign, facing Arizona's Nos. 5-7 hitters and retiring them on a combined 18 pitches (12 strikes). For the season, Estevez has a 4.28 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, 38:18 K:BB, five holds, a blown save and a 3-4 record through 40 innings, but he's unlikely to unseat Bard as the Rockies' closer this year.

Estevez was activated off the paternity list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Players may spend between one and three days on the paternity list. Estevez wound up spending the minimum amount, having only just left the team Friday. Chad Smith was optioned to clear space for his return.

Estevez was placed on the paternity list Friday, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Estevez picked up his first save of the season with a scoreless inning Thursday against the Padres, and he'll now step away from the team in order to spend some time with his growing family. The 29-year-old should rejoin the Rockies before the start of the second half of the season next Friday.

Estevez didn't allow a baserunner while striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Thursday against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Daniel Bard pitched in three of Colorado's last four games entering Thursday, which allowed Estevez to earn his first save of the campaign. Estevez is not likely to see many additional save chances this season -- barring Bard being traded -- as he has a 4.45 ERA and 26:15 K:BB across 30.1 frames.

Estevez (1-1) allowed three earned runs on three hits and one strikeout to take the loss Friday against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Estevez entered the game in the eighth inning with the game tied at one, but he served up two home runs in the span of four batters to take the loss. He has held opponents scoreless in seven of 10 appearances this season to go along with two holds. Estevez does have a bloated ERA with a current mark of 5.87, though that is heavily influenced by his blowup Friday.

Estevez (1-0) was credited with the win Saturday against the Dodgers after retiring the only batter he faced.

EDGE Analysis

Estevenz and the Rockies avoided arbitration Tuesday by agreeing to a one-year, $3.025 million deal, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Estevez matched his career high with 11 saves last season while posting a 4.38 ERA, the second-best mark of his five-year career. He may not return to the closer role he held down the stretch, however, as the Rockies recently signed veteran righty Alex Colome, who's saved 155 games in his career.

Estevez (3-5) was tagged with the loss in relief Sunday against the Diamondbacks after giving up the decisive run while tossing two-thirds of an inning.

EDGE Analysis

Estevez quickly retired Ketel Marte and Josh Rojas through flyouts, but he gave up the game-sealing homer to Josh VanMeter, who went deep for the sixth time this year. It was an unfortunate end of the year for Estevez, who went 11-for-17 in save chances while posting a 4.28 ERA with a 1.49 WHIP through 61 innings (63 appearances) this season.

Estevez earned the save against Arizona on Friday with a perfect inning during which he struck out two batters.

EDGE Analysis

After the Rockies rallied for three runs in the top of the ninth, they turned to Estevez to close out the high-scoring affair. He did so with ease, retiring all three batters he faced, including the final two via strikeout. The save was Estevez's 11th in 17 opportunities. Since getting blown up for four runs against San Francisco on Sept. 8, the right-hander has converted six of seven save chances while posting a 2.70 ERA across 10 appearances.

Estevez picked up a save after pitching a scoreless ninth inning in Tuesday's 3-1 victory over the Nationals. He didn't allow any hits and walked one.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old walked Yadiel Hernandez to open the inning but retired the next two batters including a game-ending double play by Luis Garcia to escape unscathed. He is now 10 of 16 in save opportunities this season. Estevez has been far from elite though, allowing at least one baserunner in 21 of his last 22 outings.
