Hoffman has been a strong contributor for the Reds, posting a 2-1 record, 2.66 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and 16 strikeouts across 20 1/3 innings of work. He is ...

Those two will follow Luis Castillo, Tyler Mahle, and Wade Miley in the rotation when the regular season begins next week.

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jeff Hoffman (knee) is planning on making his final start of the season versus the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday. Hoffman was struck in the knee by a comebacker on Tuesday. He was carted off the field, but the X-rays came back negative. Hoffman has been getting crushed this season, so he's not a recommended streaming option for Sunday.

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jeff Hoffman is expected to start on Sunday against the Pirates. Hoffman has a scary 7.81 ERA, 1.66 WHIP, 43 strikeouts and 18 walks in 40 1/3 innings in his nine starts in the majors this year. That would make him much too risky as a streamer this weekend while at hitter-friendly Coors Field. Look elsewhere if he indeed starts against Pittsburgh.

The Colorado Rockies recalled infielder Garrett Hampson in Sunday and sent pitcher Jeff Hoffman down to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Hampson has struggled with the big league club batting just .186 with a homer and six RBI in 33 games. He hasn't particularly shined at Triple-A either after receiving plenty of hype during the preseason. Managers in redraft leagues can ignore Hampson as he won't find much playing time, but there's still value in his bat and legs in dynasty formats.

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jeff Hoffman got an extended run in the team's rotation two years ago, and he was bad. He's now been given three turns in a row this season, and he's been better, but only slightly. Tuesday's start against the Cubs featured some bad luck, like stranding half the runners who got on base against him, but it also featured some obvious mistakes, like throwing a 96 MPH fastball down the heart of the plate to Kyle Schwarber, who quickly turned it into a Home Run Der[...]
