Remember how good Adam Ottavino was prior to tearing his UCL ligament? Adam was virtually unhittable in the back-end of Colorado’s bullpen, tossing 10.1 innings of scoreless ball. In those ten relief appearances, Ottavino went 3-for-3 in save opportunities, striking out 13 batters while yielding just three hits. Ottavino has since undergone Tommy John Surgery, leaving him with a timetable of 12-18 months of recovery. Ottavino’s injury has left a gaping hole in Colorado’s atrocious bullpen.
