Jeff Hoffman has quite a pedigree.
He was the ninth player taken in the 2014 draft and was the centerpiece of the shocking, blockbuster deadline trade that sent Troy Tuluowitzki to Toronto in July 2015.
But so far, Hoffman has only six wins in Rockies purple.
Now he gets a chance to impress. Needing length in the bullpen, the Rockies recalled the right-hander from Triple-A Albuquerque Friday and placed struggling lefty Mike Dunn on the 10-day disabled list with a rhomboid strain, an injury that’s causing him considerable pain and tightness in the upper back. Dunn was scheduled to undergo an MRI Friday night.
