On Sunday morning, the Colorado Rockies announced that they had recalled pitcher Jeff Hoffman from Triple-A and added pitcher Sam Howard to the 40-man roster. To make room, Colorado optioned starting pitcher Antonio Senzatela to Triple-A and designated Mark Reynolds for assignment.
Senzatela’s demotion comes on the heels of another poor performance, lasting just 1.1 innings against the Yankees on Saturday. It took 60 pitches for him to record four outs and it led to another long day for the Rockies bullpen.
In his last four starts, Senzatela has allowed five or more runs.
