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.

Hoffman (2-0) tossed seven innings of one-run ball in Monday's win over the Phillies, allowing three hits with no walks and seven strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

Making his first appearance since he was sent down to Triple-A Albuquerque earlier this month, Hoffman put together the best outing of his career at the top level. He allowed just three men to reach base and was only breached in the fourth inning when Tommy Joseph's single knocked in Aaron Altherr. Hoffman also coaxed the Phillies into 10 swinging strikes while racking up an impressive strikeout total for the second straight start. The right-hander currently isn't scheduled to make another start for Colorado, but this stellar outing could very well keep him around for at least one more turn.

Hoffman was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque and will start Monday's game against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Hoffman will return to the big leagues in order to fill a rotation spot created by the inclement weather during their past series in Minnesota. His stay may be brief since the other rotation members will be back on schedule following Monday's contest, but he could raise his stock in the eyes of the Rockies' brass with a solid outing Monday night. To make room for him on the major-league roster, Raimel Tapia was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque.

Hoffman is a candidate to make a spot start Monday against the Phillies, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

With German Marquez having his start pushed back to Thursday after a rainout, the Rockies will need to deploy an extra starter for Monday's series opener in Philadelphia to avoid pitching Marquez on short rest. Hoffman seems to be the likely candidate, as he made a spot start against the Dodgers last week, allowing three hits while striking out eight through 5.1 innings en route to his first major-league win. He holds a 3.46 ERA through 39 innings (seven starts) with Triple-A Albuquerque this season.

Hoffman was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman shined in his first start of the season with the Rockies, fanning eight while allowing three runs in 5.1 innings pitched. However, with no opening in the rotation in the long-term, he'll return to Triple-A for more development. That being said, the pitching prospect seems like a logical candidate to make a spot start down the line given his success in his most recent start. To fill his spot on the big-league roster, Raimel Tapia was recalled from Triple-A.

Hoffman (1-0) struck out eight and gave up three earned runs on six hits and two walks over 5.1 innings in Thursday's 10-7 win over the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman was a last-minute starter in place of Tyler Anderson, whose turn was moved back to Saturday. The 24-year-old righty was able to carry over the momentum he'd been generating at Triple-A Albuquerque, where he'd generated a 3.71 ERA and 1.12 WHIP over 34.0 innings. Hoffman fired 58 of 86 pitches for strikes and notched 14 swinging strikes overall while allowing just one home run, a solo shot to Scott Van Slyke in the fifth. His return to the minors may be imminent, but his performance certainly provided reason for optimism.

Hoffman will make a start with the Rockies on Thursday against the Rockies, Jesse Thomas of The Colorado Rockies Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tyler Anderson was originally tabbed as Thursday's starter, but he was transferred to start Saturday's contest at the last minute, opening the door for Hoffman to return to the big leagues. Hoffman has been steadily improving with Triple-A Albuquerque, especially in the control department, so he'll look to carry that success into Thursday's outing against southpaw Hyun-Jin Ryu.

Hoffman could be recalled to make a spot start Saturday against the Dodgers, Nick Groke of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The pitching prospect emerged from the minors to act as the Rockies' 26th man for Tuesday's twin-bill with the Cubs, and although he did serve up a home run in his lone appearance of the evening, his performance for Triple-A Albuquerque speaks more to the progress he's made this season. He currently possesses a 3.71 ERA and 1.12 WHIP with the Isotopes, but nicer thing to see is the improved 2.7 BB/9 he's put up. Chris Rusin is also a candidate for the last-minute assignment, but Hoffman very well could make a return trip to the big leagues for the day if the Rockies brass wants to see if he can translate his development into a major-league start.

Hoffman was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman was up with the Rockies for Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cubs and ended up getting into the second game, tossing 1.1 innings and striking out two batters in relief while also serving up a solo homer. Since he was the Rockies' 26th man for the day, it was always expected that he'd return to Albuquerque immediately after the doubleheader. Hoffman could be a candidate to rejoin the Rockies later in the season if a spot starter or rotation replacement is needed.

Hoffman will serve as the Rockies' 26th man for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cubs, MLB Network Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

He will be up in case the Rockies need a long reliever in the night game, which Kyle Freeland will start, but should be sent back to Triple-A Albuquerque after the doubleheader. Manager Bud Black said the Rockies are happy with the rotation as is, so Hoffman should remain at Triple-A for the foreseeable future. He has a 3.71 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 29:10 K:BB in 34 innings in the Pacific Coast League, and will likely get a chance later this season whenever a spot in the rotation opens up.
