Hoffman will enter the rotation and start Thursday against the Nationals, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rockies will likely keep Hoffman available out of the bullpen for Wednesday's doubleheader, but don't expect manager Bud Black to call on him unless the team has already exhausted its other relief options. Though he'll at least avoid a start at Coors Field as he rejoins the rotation, Hoffman's lack of success at the big-league level makes him an uncomfortable lineup option in both DFS contests and season-long formats. Over 172.2 career innings, Hoffman has posted a 6.05 ERA (5.01 xFIP) and 1.59 WHIP.

Hoffman is expected to start Thursday against Washington, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Some reports when Hoffman was called up Sunday suggested that he'd pitch out of the bullpen, but there may have been a change of plans. The 26-year-old has made seven starts for the Rockies this season. His 6.75 ERA isn't good even when Coors Field is taken into account.

Hoffman will pitch out of the bullpen rather than as a starter in the immediate future, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman was recalled Sunday after the demotion of Antonio Senzatela; however, he won't immediately slot into the rotation and will instead work as a reliever. Manager Bud Black did leave open the possibility of Hoffman working as a starter in the future. He has made seven appearances with the big-league club this season -- all of which had been as a member of the rotation -- and posted a 6.75 ERA with a 1.56 WHIP across 33.1 innings.

Hoffman was called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman figures to immediately slot into the Rockies rotation after the team designated Antonio Senzatela for assignment Sunday. Hoffman has made seven starts with the big-league club this season, posting a 6.75 ERA and 1.56 WHIP with 36 strikeouts across 33.1 innings.

Hoffman was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman was unable to complete three innings Thursday and has a 6.75 ERA and 1.56 WHIP in seven major-league starts this season, so he'll make his way back to the minors. It's not clear who will slot into the starting rotation Tuesday for the Rockies.

Hoffman allowed one run on three hits with five strikeouts and four walks across 2.2 innings during a no-decision against the Diamondbacks on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Although he only yielded one run, because he allowed seven base runners in under three innings, Hoffman could make it even into the fourth. It took him 82 pitches to earn eight outs. His ERA did manage to decrease, but he is still 1-3 with a 6.75 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 36 strikeouts in 33.1 innings this season. His next start will be Tuesday at the Giants.

Hoffman held the Padres to one run on three hits and two walks while striking out two over five innings in a no-decision against the Padres on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman had given up at least five runs in three of his five starts, but tightened his reins to keep the Padres in check, surrendering his only run via a solo shot to Hunter Renfroe in the second inning. The 26-year-old has struggled to make much of a positive impact on the Rockies' rotation this season, compiling a 7.04 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 31:9 K:BB over seven appearances (six starts). Up next, Hoffman will take on the Diamondbacks on Thursday.

Hoffman (1-3) gave up six runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out seven through 4.2 innings to take the loss against the Mets on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

It was trouble from the very beginning as Hoffman gave up a three-run home run in the first inning and continued to give up hard contact throughout this outing. He did force 12 swinging strikes, but it just wasn't enough to make up for the repeated mistakes. His experience in the majors has not been impressive this season as he has given up at least five runs in three of his five starts and has an 8.06 ERA. Hoffman will look for better results in his next start Friday against the Padres.

Hoffman (1-2) allowed five earned runs on six hits and a walk while striking out seven across six innings to take the loss Tuesday against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman was beaten by the longball, with three of his five earned runs coming from homers. The 26-year-old made his first road start of the season -- getting away from the treacherous Coors Field -- though that didn't solve his home run problem as he's let the opposition take him deep at least once in each of his last three starts. He now has a 7.29 ERA and 1.48 WHIP across 21 innings. More positively, he has a 22:5 K:BB ratio, skills that indicate he may deserve better results. He'll look to turn things around in his next start, currently scheduled for Sunday at the Mets.

Hoffman (1-1) earned the win Wednesday against the Diamondbacks, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out six through five innings of work.

EDGE Analysis

The win was Hoffman's first since 2017 after getting sent down to Triple-A Albuquerque. The 26-year-old has failed to make a major impact since then, spending most of his time in the minors. Hoffman got the call up again May 24 and had some trouble with location in his last outing, but managed to turn things around Wednesday with pivotal strikeouts to work his way out of jams. Despite the improvement, Hoffman's ERA still sits at an ugly 7.20 with a 1.60 WHIP through three starts. His status in the rotation is yet to be determined, but with Kyle Freeland and Antonio Senzatela struggling, Hoffman has a shot to make another start again soon.
