Hoffman gave up two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out six over 6.2 innings in a no-decision against the Giants on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

He was in line for the win when he exited the game, but the Rockies' bullpen squandered the lead and San Francisco ended up winning in 14 innings. Regardless, it was a strong bounce-back effort for Hoffman, who was rocked for nine earned runs against the Diamondbacks at Coors Field his last time out. Most will want to avoid him at home after that disaster, but Hoffman has appeal in a wide variety of formats as a matchups-based play.

Hoffman (4-1) gave up nine runs on eight hits over 3.2 innings in Wednesday's 16-5 loss to Arizona. He struck out two and walked two.

EDGE Analysis

A Rockies starter with a 2.25 ERA in his first six outings? A painful dose of reality had to be expected, and the D-Backs delivered it all at once. Hoffman held them scoreless through three innings at Coors Field, only to end up on the hook for the first nine runs of a 10-run fourth inning. Still, Hoffman had previously turned in impressive work over the course of his second taste of the majors, and his next start will come on the road Monday against the struggling Giants offense.

Hoffman allowed just a single run on seven hits and three walks while striking out just a single batter during Thursday's win over the Giants. He didn't factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Anytime you can position yourself for a win and allow just a single run at Coors Field, it's a strong outing. Unfortunately, the Colorado bullpen surrendered eight runs to rob Hoffman of his fifth win. He's been solid through six starts this season with a 2.25 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 10.1 K/9. The 24-year-old righty owns a target-worthy pedigree, too. Hoffman will look to stay hot in a daunting road matchup against the Diamondbacks at Chase Field in his next start.

Hoffman (4-0) allowed a single run on four hits and a walk while striking out eight batters over 6.1 innings during Saturday's win over the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

This was just the fifth appearance and fourth start of the season for Hoffman, and he's allowed only seven runs through 27 innings for a sterling 2.33 ERA and 0.74 WHIP with 34 strikeouts and just three walks. The 2014 first-round pick has certainly pitched well enough to stick in the rotation, and his fantasy value is trending up. It's also worth noting that the wind was howling out at Wrigley Field on Saturday, so dominating the defending champions was all the more impressive. A date with the pedestrian Giants at Coors Field is up next if Hoffman sticks in the rotation for another turn.

Hoffman is expected to make another start Saturday against the Cubs, Nick Groke of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday and entered the rotation later that day for his third start of the season, replacing the injured Tyler Anderson (knee). After impressing in his first two turns, Hoffman was even better against the Padres, holding the opposition to one run on three hits and no walks while striking out nine over seven innings. The right-hander is now 3-0 with a 24:2 K:BB and 2.33 ERA over 19.1 innings in his three starts, which could give him a compelling case to stick around in the rotation even once Anderson, who carries a 5.85 ERA for the season, is healthy again. Anderson won't come off the disabled list until Sunday at the earliest, so with a strong showing in the tough matchup during the upcoming weekend, Hoffman would certainly strengthen his claim to a starting role.

Hoffman was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque and will draw the start against the Padres on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman receives the major-league promotion in order to fill the spot in the rotation that opened up following Tyler Anderson's placement on the 10-day disabled list with left knee inflammation. He'll draw an attractive matchup against the light-hitting Padres during his first run through the rotation.

Hoffman will start Sunday's game against the Padres in place of Tyler Anderson (knee), Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson is bound for the 10-day DL with left knee inflammation, so Hoffman may be in line for multiple starts if he can impress Sunday. The 2014 first-round pick showed his potential by posting a 3.29 ERA over 13.2 innings for the Rockies earlier this season, numbers he will look to improve upon as he makes his ninth career big league start. Hoffman lasted just 2.2 innings in an outing against San Diego last season, allowing seven runs (none earned) and six hits while throwing 84 pitches.

Hoffman could start for the Rockies on Sunday if Tyler Anderson lands on the disabled list, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today.

EDGE Analysis

Nightengale reported that that Anderson was headed for the disabled list and that Hoffman would be called up to start Sunday, but another report -- from Nick Groke of The Denver Post -- indicated that Anderson is still hoping to start Sunday. Hoffman will be in limbo until a final call on Anderson's status is made, but if he does wind up on the DL, Hoffman would be the pitcher who takes his spot.

Hoffman was scratched from Friday's start with Triple-A Albuquerque, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear as to the reasoning for the scratch, but Hoffman may be on his way back to the big leagues after lowering his ERA to 3.68 over eight starts at Triple-A this season. The 24-year-old could represent a better rotation option for the Rockies than Tyler Anderson and his 5.85 ERA, though that decision will likely be made sometime this weekend. Hoffman posted a solid 2.98 ERA and 15:2 K:BB in two starts for Colorado earlier this season.

Hoffman was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman will head back to Albuquerque to clear room on the roster for Trevor Story (shoulder), who was activated from the disabled list Tuesday. Hoffman pitched very well in his spot start Monday, tossing seven innings of one-run ball while striking out seven and walking none. While the outing wasn't enough to keep him in the big-league rotation for now, he'll likely remain one of the next men in line.
