Estevez was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
He has an 8.10 ERA, 1.86 WHIP and 18 strikeouts in 16.2 innings out of the big-league bullpen, but has been much better at Triple-A (1.78 ERA, 1.11 WHIP). Jairo Diaz was optioned to Triple-A as a corresponding move. Look for Estevez to be primarily used in low-leverage situations.

Estevez was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Tyler Anderson returning from the disabled list, Estevez will again head back to Albuquerque to serve as organizational depth. To sum up how his year is going in the majors, the 24-year-old actually lowered his ERA to 8.10 after allowing two runs over 2.1 innings in his most recent stint with the big club.

Estevez was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Estevez was optioned to Albuquerque on June 9, but will return to the big leagues after Chad Qualls was placed on the disabled list with lower back spasms Sunday. Estevez held an unsightly 8.16 ERA over his 14.1 innings of relief with the Rockies earlier this season.

Estevez was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Estevez owns a horrid 8.16 ERA with the big-league club and will return to serving as organizational depth. He was demoted to make space for returning setup weapon Adam Ottavino.

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.
