The Rockies made a transaction prior to today’s game. They’ve recalled infielder Garrett Hampson and have sent Jesús Tinoco back down to Triple-A Albuquerque, the team announced. The Rockies now have either eight or nine relievers on the active roster, depending on whether or not you count Chad Bettis as a reliever or a starter. Either way, I’d expect another transaction today or Tuesday. Thomas Harding reports that there’s “discussion” about whether or not to bring Peter Lambert up to fill a rotation spot, although nothing is decided yet.
But that’s for later. Today, the Rockies will attempt to win their eighth consecutive game and sweep their second consecutive series.
