Hoffman was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman was up with the Rockies for Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cubs and ended up getting into the second game, tossing 1.1 innings and striking out two batters in relief while also serving up a solo homer. Since he was the Rockies' 26th man for the day, it was always expected that he'd return to Albuquerque immediately after the doubleheader. Hoffman could be a candidate to rejoin the Rockies later in the season if a spot starter or rotation replacement is needed.
