Mejia picked up the save in Sunday's 6-5 victory over the Diamondbacks, allowing one run on three hits and no walks with no strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

With current closer Victor Vodnik having pitched four of the previous five days, Mejia received the call in the ninth to convert his first career save. Mejia was not sharp, allowing three consecutive singles with one out to load the bases. The 25-year-old allowed a run on a James McCann sacrifice fly before inducing a popup to wrap the contest. The Dominican righty has pitched to a 4.20 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 49:15 K:BB across 45 total innings and could be in consideration for future save opportunities if anything happens to Vodnik while he fills in for Seth Halvorsen (elbow).

Mejia (1-1) took the loss and a blown save in Monday's 3-2 defeat to St. Louis, allowing two runs on two hits and a walk in one inning. He struck out one.

EDGE Analysis

Mejia is sharing Colorado's closer gig with Victor Vodnik while Seth Halvorsen (elbow) is sidelined, but Monday' showing doesn't bode well for Mejia's chances of earning future save opportunities. Vodnik has also yielded at least one run in five of his last seven outings, so this is perhaps becoming a situation to avoid for fantasy purposes outside of rosters desperate for saves. Through 43 innings, Mejia has a 4.19 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 47:14 K:BB.

Rockies interim manager Warren Schaeffer said Sunday that Mejia and Victor Vodnik will share the closer job while Seth Halvorsen is on the 15-day injured list, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schaeffer added that Jimmy Herget will also factor into the late-inning mix, though he's more likely to serve as a setup man, whereas Vodnik and Mejia should be the top options for saves. Mejia has pitched well in his first major-league season, collecting a 4.05 ERA (3.38 FIP) and 43:13 K:BB across 40 relief innings. The 25-year-old has yet to record a save at the major-league level, but he's been seeing more high-leverage work, notching four holds over his last nine appearances. While Mejia is a talented reliever, the odds are against him being a steady source of saves in Colorado.

The Rockies recalled Mejia from Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

He's absorbing the roster spot vacated by Chase Dollander (forearm), who went on the 15-day injured list. Mejia has made six appearances out of the Rockies' bullpen this season, permitting eight runs (four earned) with a 10:3 K:BB across 7.2 frames.

The Rockies optioned Mejia to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Mejia was unlikely to be available for the next couple of days after he gave up seven runs (four earned) in 1.1 innings and tossed 44 pitches in Saturday's 21-0 loss to the Padres, so the Rockies opted to replace him on the 26-man roster. Colorado called up lefty Ryan Rolison to take Mejia's spot in the bullpen.

The Rockies recalled Mejia from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Colorado optioned right-hander Bradley Blalock to Triple-A in a corresponding move to clear room on the active roster for Mejia, who will rejoin the Rockies for the second time in less than a week. He was called up from Albuquerque last Thursday to serve as the 27th man for a doubleheader with the Royals and made his MLB debut in the second game of the twin bill, allowing an unearned run over one inning of relief. He was returned to Triple-A immediately after the doubleheader but should be in line for a longer stay with the Rockies this time around.

Mejia was returned to the Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Mejia was in the majors to serve as the 27th man for the Rockies' doubleheader against the Royals Thursday. He made his big-league in the second contest, allowing one unearned run on one hit while striking out one.

The Rockies recalled Mejia from Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He'll be the club's 27th man during Thursday's doubleheader in Kansas City. Mejia, 24, has posted a 5.40 ERA and 19:6 K:BB over 11.2 innings this season with Albuquerque. If the right-hander sees any action Thursday, it will be his major-league debut.

The Rockies optioned Mejia to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Mejia spent all of last season with Double-A Hartford, where he accumulated a 5.00 ERA and 1.61 WHIP alongside a 65:30 K:BB across 54 innings. After throwing three scoreless innings in Cactus League play, he'll receive a bump to Triple-A for his age-24 season, though his past minor-league performance doesn't inspire much confidence in a promotion to the majors.

Mejia was optioned to Double-A Hartford by the Rockies on Friday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mejia was added to the 40-man roster this offseason and permitted a couple runs in three appearances this spring. The control needs work, but Mejia misses bats and will turn 24 at midseason, so he could push to debut sometime in 2024.
