In Sunday’s series finale against the San Diego Padres, Tyler Anderson will make his much-anticipated MLB debut for the Rockies, drawing the start against former Colorado hurler Christian Friedrich. While it’s Anderson’s first time on the hill, Friedrich has put together a nice season so far, going 3-1 with a 2.57 ERA.
After an off day for the Rockies on Monday, Jorge De La Rosa will return to a starting role when the New York Yankees come to town to open a two-game set. De La Rosa’s return to the rotation was a bit of a surprise and could be happening for a number of reasons.
