In preparation for the 2021 season, the Colorado Rockies today announced additional roster changes.
The following players were optioned to Tripe-A Albuquerque:
- Yoan Aybar (LHP)
- Ryan Castellani (RHP)
- Justin Lawrence (RHP)
The decision to send Castellani to Albuquerque indicates that the Rockies are closer to settling on a starting rotation. Given Castellani’s struggles in 2020 (5.82 ERA) and his continuing control issues in spring training (31.50 ERA), it makes sense the Rockies would want him to spend additional time in Triple-A.
Mujica has also struggled in spring training, earning an ERA of 13.
