Hoffman will be called up to start Saturday's game against the Cubs, Jason Lewis of WRGB Albany reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman's 4.02 ERA and 1.36 WHIP over 22 starts with Triple-A Albuquerque this season do not jump off the page, but he is one of the Rockies' top prospects and has struck out 124 batters over 118.2 innings, and the team believes he is ready for his big league debut. While Hoffman is set to start in his first major league game, the Rockies have capped his pitch count around 75 since late July, so he may only be good for a similar number of pitches Saturday.
