Rosscup was promoted to the big-league club prior to Friday's game against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Rosscup made three appearances with Colorado this season, following his acquisition from the Cubs on June 26. During those games, he allowed four earned runs in 3.1 innings of work, and has spent much of his time in the organization with Triple-A Albuquerque. Moving forward, Rosscup figures to serve in low-leverage situations out of the bullpen.

Rosscup was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
With Kyle Freeland returning returning from a groin injury and starting Tuesday's game, Rosscup was the player moved to make room on the 25-man roster. During his stint with the Rockies, Rosscup only made one appearance, giving up three runs in 0.1 innings of work.

Rosscup was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Rosscup will be recalled to fill the void in the Rockies' bullpen after Jake McGee was placed on the 10-day disabled list Sunday with a mid-back sprain. Rosscup was acquired by the Rockies from the Cubs on June 26 and has tossed 9.1 scoreless innings with the Triple-A club this season.

Rosscup was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rosscup made two relief appearances since the All-Star break, allowing one run in three innings of work. Since he's likely unavailable for a few days, the Rockies will send him back to the minors in exchange for Jairo Diaz and his fresh arm. Rosscup's strong showing could punch his ticket back to the majors relatively soon, however.

Rosscup was called up to the big leagues prior to Saturday's game against the White Sox, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rosscup was recently acquired from the Cubs, and comes up to provide left-handed relief for a Rockies team that desperately needs it. Although he's only appeared in one major-league game this season, the 29-year-old tossed 26.2 innings of work in 2016, posting a 4.39 ERA with a 1.46 WHIP for Chicago.

EDGE Analysis
Rosscup owned a sharp 2.60 ERA and 39:8 K:BB over just 27.2 innings in relief at Triple-A Iowa, but without room on the Cubs' roster, he was designated for assignment last week. He will give the Rockies some much needed left-handed organizational depth in their bullpen.

Rosscup was designated for assignment by the Cubs on Thursday, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rosscup was cast off the 40-man roster in order to make room for Mark Zagunis, whose contract was purchased by the Cubs earlier Thursday. The 29-year-old compiled a 2.60 ERA and 39:8 K:BB through 27.2 innings with Triple-A Iowa this season, so he'll likely garner some interest on waivers.

Rosscup was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Patrick Mooney of CSN Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rosscup was only with the big club for a day before he was sent back to Iowa, appearing in Monday's game and recording two outs without allowing a run. He'll continue to serve as bullpen depth for the Cubs. Felix Pena was recalled from Triple-A Iowa in a corresponding move.

Rosscup had his contract purchased from Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rosscup has been outstanding with the I-Cubs this season, posting a 3.45 ERA with a 25:3 K:BB in 15.2 innings, so the Cubs decided to give him a shot in the majors. He likely won't see too many high-leverage innings, but the strikeouts add some value in NL-only leagues. To make room for him in the big leagues, Dylan Floro was sent back to Triple-A.

Rosscup said he felt good after an inning of work Sunday, his first appearance since undergoing shoulder surgery in May, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rosscup underwent a debridement procedure in his pitching shoulder that shut him down from May through the end of the season. "It felt great," Rosscup said of his return. "I was a little amped up, but I think that's normal, missing all last year and the long road. But I'm glad I put that behind me and got the first one out of the way this spring." Rosscup will likely begin the year at Triple-A, but as a lefty who spent parts of three seasons at the MLB level, he could get an early look with the Cubs this year.
