Estevez was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

He has a 7.30 ERA in 12.1 big-league innings this year, but he appears to have been pretty unfortunate, as his 2.14 FIP and 13 strikeouts are very solid. This was a corresponding move to Adam Ottavino landing on the 10-day DL with right shoulder inflammation.

Estevez will have the 26th roster spot Thursday for Game of the Rockies' doubleheader against the Twins, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Estevez will merely serve as a depth piece should the bullpen run busy in the first installment. The right-hander carries a 7.94 ERA in 11.1 big-league innings this year but has twirled 5.2 shutout frames at Triple-A Albuquerque.

Estevez was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Estevez was sent down after an up-and-down start to the season, making room on the 25-man roster for Mike Dunn, who was recently activated from the disabled list. The 24-year-old struggled to a 7.94 ERA through 13 games (11.1 innings), though he only allowed earned runs in three of those games. He'll head back to Albuquerque for some more seasoning, but he should get another look sometime in 2017.

Estevez (3-0) picked up the win Saturday against the Diamondbacks after hurling a perfect eighth inning.

EDGE Analysis

Outside of a disastrous seven-run outing against the Nationals on Thursday, the young right-hander has been a fairly reliable member of the Rockies' bullpen. Despite an unsightly 8.71 ERA, Saturday marked the ninth time in 12 appearances on the season that Estevez didn't allowed a run, and the fifth time he didn't allow a baserunner. With performances like these, he'll continue to get looks toward the end of games, although he's a long way from picking up any saves with Greg Holland, Adam Ottavino and Jake McGee in tow.

Estevez won a job in the major-league bullpen, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old worked to simplify his pitching mechanics this spring, and it paid off in a huge way. Estevez concluded Cactus League play with an outstanding 1.74 ERA and 0.77 WHIP across 10.1 innings. He also posted a strong 12:1 K:BB during that span, ultimately moving the needle toward him remaining in the big leagues. Estevez has some closing experience under his belt from last season, but it's unlikely that he'll get many opportunities this season with Greg Holland, Adam Ottavino, and Jake McGee seemingly ahead of him in the pecking order for ninth-inning opportunities.

Estevez is focusing on simplifying his delivery to the plate in an effort to produce more consistency, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The high-octane right-hander set a Rockies' rookie record by amassing 11 saves last season, but things fell apart toward the end of the season as "Wild Thing" stumbled to the finish line with an ERA north of 5.00. The Rockies believe that these issues stemmed from varying arm slots and too many moving parts in his delivery, so they hope to simplify his throwing process in an effort to help him build off of his strong debut. The initial returns are promising: Estevez currently holds a 2.57 ERA to go with an 11:1 K:BB ratio through eight Cactus League frames. The 24-year-old is fighting for a big league bullpen role this spring, and if he continues to perform this well down the stretch, he could force his way into a prominent role in Denver to begin the season.

Estevez is not a lock for a spot in the Rockies bullpen to start the season, Nick Groke of the Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The young reliever spent a chunk of the summer as Colorado's closer, converting 11 of 18 save opportunities. However, his 5.24 ERA left much to be desired, and given the multitude of veteran options brought in to bolster the bullpen, Estevez is on the fringe of the major league roster. It seems most likely that the 24-year-old will start the year at Triple-A Albuquerque and shuttle up to the big leagues as needed.

Estevez was recalled from Triple-A on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The Rockies placed right-hander Scott Oberg on the disabled list Monday, so Estevez will come up to assume the vacant roster spot. Estevez, who was just optioned to Triple-A on Friday, holds a 5.28 ERA and 1.33 WHIP across 44.1 major league innings on the season.

Estevez was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The Rockies activated Chad Qualls from the 15-day DL, which forced the team to option Estevez. The 23-year-old struggled with the club, giving up 26 earned runs in 44.1 innings.

Estevez has lost his job as the Rockies' closer, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

After blowing a second consecutive save Monday night, Estevez will be removed from his closing role, with Adam Ottavino taking over for the time being, per manager Walt Weiss. Estevez allowed three earned runs while recording just one out Monday night, and that came on the heels of a performance Friday in which he allowed four earned runs on three hits, while walking two, in a 5-3 loss to the Marlins. The right-hander will now move into a more traditional role, but there's a chance he could reclaim the closer job if Ottavino falters.
