DENVER -- Rockies right-handed pitcher Adam Ottavino mixed his pitches during a 20-pitch bullpen session on Saturday and felt no problems in his left oblique.
It's not clear when Ottavino -- who missed his 11th game on Saturday -- will return. Ottavino said how he feels Sunday could determine his next step. At any rate, the mid-afternoon session in an empty Coors Field might be the best news for a Rockies bullpen that has struggled since he has been out. In fact, the Rockies' 7.36 ERA and .395 weighted on-base average (wOBA) were MLB worst over the first 10 Rockies games that Ottavino missed.
