Hoffman is in the running for a back-end rotation spot this spring, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman had a lackluster 2018 showing, struggling to a 4.94 ERA in 105 Triple-A innings and 9.35 ERA in 8.2 MLB innings. However, he was once one of the Rockies' top prospects and put up decent strikeout numbers in the minors last year (8.7 K/9). He has an outside chance to crack the Opening Day roster, but he'll need to outperform Chad Bettis and Antonio Senzatela to garner a rotation spot.

Hoffman was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman was up for just one start and failed to impress, lasting just 3.1 innings and giving up three runs on eight hits Friday against the Mariners. He was sent down to make room for Jon Gray, who was recalled in a corresponding move.

Hoffman lasted just 3.1 innings in a no-decision against the Mariners on Friday, giving up three earned runs on eight hits, striking out two and walking one as the Rockies eventually triumphed 10-7.

EDGE Analysis

Making a spot start after Antonio Senzatela was scratched due to a blister, Hoffman made an early exit against Seattle after he conceded eight hits and was chased from the contest after throwing 77 pitches. The outing gives him a 9.35 ERA and a 2.54 WHIP at the big-league level this season, so he hasn't shown he can deliver impactful fantasy numbers even if he does end up staying in the bigs for another turn in the rotation.

Hoffman will be recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque and take the mound versus Seattle on Friday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Antonio Senzatela was scratched from the start due to a right middle finger blister. Across five appearances with the Rockies this year, Hoffman has posted a 10.13 ERA over 5.1 innings of relief. This will be his first major-league start of the year, though he's served exclusively as a starter for Albuquerque this season.

Hoffman was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday, Nick Groke of The Athletic Denver reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman made five appearances for the Rockies after being called up June 8, but he was tagged for six earned runs over 5.1 innings -- to be fair, five ER came in one game -- so the team decided to send him down to open up room for returning relievers Mike Dunn and Scott Oberg. Hoffman figures to be back with the Rockies at some point this summer.

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

EDGE Analysis

Mike Dunn was placed on the disabled list with a left rhomboid strain, and Hoffman was promoted as a corresponding move. He has not pitched since June 1, so he will be available out of the bullpen this weekend against the Diamondbacks. Hoffman has a 4.29 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 61:25 K:BB in 50.1 innings (10 starts) in the Pacific Coast League.

Hoffman was activated from the disabled list and optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman has been dealing with shoulder soreness since early March. He was already pitching for Albuquerque on a rehab assignment but now he'll continue to do so as a normal member of the team. The 25-year-old has thrown 130.2 career big-league innings with a 5.65 ERA.

The Rockies have reversed Hoffman's (shoulder) activation from the disabled list and subsequent optioning to Triple-A Albuquerque, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Following Sunday's unique roster move, Hoffman will now remain on the 10-day disabled list and will continue making rehab starts with Triple-A Albuquerque. It's unclear how many more rehab appearances he'll need before returning from the DL.

Hoffman (shoulder) was reinstated from the 10-day DL and optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman will remain with Albuquerque after throwing four innings with the Triple-A club during his latest rehab outing against Tacoma on Thursday. The right-hander is finally back to full health after dealing with shoulder soreness over the past six weeks. Hoffman will serve as organizational depth for Colorado moving forward, as he's likely the first man up in the event a regular in the rotation goes down with an injury.

Hoffman (shoulder) covered three innings in his rehab start Tuesday for High-A Lancaster, surrendering two runs on five hits and no walks while striking out two.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman tossed 44 pitches in the outing and will likely need to build up to the 75-to-100 range before the Rockies are comfortable activating him from the 10-day disabled list. It will probably take him another two or three starts to get to that level, so don't expect the right-hander to be ready to go until later in the month. Unless the Colorado rotation is hit by further injury in the next couple of weeks or one of its members suffers a dramatic downturn in performance, it's likely that Hoffman will be optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque once activated.
