Estevez allowed one run (none earned) on one hit and also struck out one to earn the save Tuesday against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Estevez entered the game in the 10th inning with a three-run lead after Daniel Bard blew a save chance one inning earlier. He surrendered a leadoff single to begin the frame -- allowing the runner starting on second to score -- but struck out the next batter he faced before inducing a double play to end the game. It's not clear that Estevez would be next in line for saves should Bard continue to struggle, as Robert Stephenson and Mychal Givens were both unavailable after being used earlier in the game.

Estevez allowed one run on one hit and no walks while striking out one over one inning in Friday's spring win over Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Estevez came on during the ninth inning of Friday's Cactus League matchup and gave up a home run to lead off the inning, but he retired the next two batters before striking out Beau Taylor to end the game. The right-hander has made six relief appearances this spring and has allowed 10 runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out five over six innings.

Estevez and the Rockies agreed to a one-year, $1.45 million deal Friday, avoiding arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Esteven struggled to a 7.50 ERA in 24 innings of relief last season. A .380 BABIP can seemingly be blamed for a fair portion of his struggles, however, as his 23.3 percent strikeout rate and 7.8 percent walk rate were both acceptable numbers.

Estevez (1-2) failed to record an out while allowing one run on two hits in Monday's 1-0 loss to the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Estevez gave up a leadoff single to Greg Garcia, who was replaced by pinch runner Jorge Mateo. A Jurickson Profar walkoff double was enough for the lone run of the contest, which gave Estevez the loss. He's now given up 10 runs over 3.2 innings across his last five appearances. The poor performances have taken Estevez out of the closer conversation -- Daniel Bard appears to have a firm grasp on that role for now. Through 19.2 innings, Estevez has a 6.41 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 20 strikeouts to go with six holds and a save.

Estevez logged two perfect innings while striking out two in Thursday's loss to the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

He came in for the eighth inning with the Rockies trailing 10-7 and finished out the game without allowing a hit or a walk. Estevez was hit on his throwing hand by a line drive earlier in the week and X-rays were negative. He seems to have the slight edge over Daniel Bard in the current closer committee, having last saved a game Aug. 16 after Bard gave up a run.

The X-rays on Estevez's right hand came back negative Monday, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Estevez's right hand was hit by a line drive on the final play of Sunday's contest and appeared to be in considerable pain when leaving the field. "It looks like we dodged a bullet," manager Bud Black said Monday. The right-hander traveled with the team to Houston for the current series, but it's unclear whether he'll be available Monday. Estevez could compete for closing duties with Daniel Bard and Jairo Diaz after Black said Sunday that the team wouldn't use a designated closer in the coming games.

Estevez suffered a right hand injury on the final play of Sunday's win against the Rangers, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Estevez came on in Sunday's game to record the final out and succeeded in just one pitch. However, he was hit by a comebacker on the right hand before throwing to first base for the last out. He appeared to be in considerable pain as he left the field with the trainer and is undergoing X-rays to determine the severity of the injury.

Estevez (1-0) tossed a scoreless inning, allowing one walk and striking out one, to earn the win Tuesday versus the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Estevez worked the eighth inning, and the Rockies exploded for six runs in the bottom half of the inning to put him in line for the win. The Rockies' bullpen gave away five of those runs in the ninth, but Daniel Bard closed it out to earn Estevez his first win of the year. The 27-year-old right-hander has a 0.96 ERA and 1.29 WHIP with seven strikeouts in 9.1 innings this season. Estevez has seen high-leverage usage in 2020, and he's collected three holds.

Estevez allowed one run on three hits and no walks while striking out one over one inning in Sunday's win against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Estevez was tasked with getting the Rockies out of a bases-loaded jam in the eighth inning Sunday, but he gave up a triple to Wil Myers to clear the bases before forcing a groundout to end the inning. The right-hander went out to begin the ninth inning in a non-save situation with a four-run lead. He gave up a triple to lead off the inning and managed to record two outs afterward, but he was removed from the game after allowing a double. Estevez had thrown 4.1 scoreless innings over his first four relief appearances this season, but he wasn't very reliable Sunday despite being in the conversation to earn save chances in the coming games. However, his performance against the Padres appeared to be an outlier, and he should still be in competition with Jairo Diaz to serve as the closer, especially while Wade Davis (shoulder) remains sidelined.

Estevez allowed five runs on seven hits and had eight strikeouts and zero walks over five innings prior to the suspension of spring training.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old had somewhat of a breakout campaign for the Rockies in 2019, posting a 3.75 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 81:23 K:BB with 11 holds in 71 appearances. According to Thomas Harding of MLB.com, Estevez and Jairo Diaz are expected to play prominent bullpen roles for Colorado in front of Scott Oberg and closer Wade Davis this season.
