SAN DIEGO — The Rockies on Sunday will shuffle their starting pitching deck with Jeff Hoffman, after the club calls up the rookie right-hander to start in place of lefty Tyler Anderson against the Padres.
Anderson will move to the 10-day disabled list with what his manager said is a left knee inflammation. Anderson missed a start in early May for the same injury and has since pitched with a knee brace.
But the 27-year-old on Saturday went through his standard routine, playing catch on flat ground over 90 feet, the drill he uses the day before every start.
