The Rockies have placed Motte on the disabled list with a right rotator cuff strain, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Motte has struggled over his last 10 outing, posting a 9.00 ERA in eight innings with the Rockies. During those 10 outings, Motte gave up at least one run in seven of them. It's unclear at this point when Motte will be able to return, but he will remain behind Carlos Estevez and Jake McGee in the closer pecking order when he does.
