DENVER -- Rockies right-hander Christian Bergman was expecting to wake at 4 a.m. Tuesday to fly with the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes from Colorado Springs to Oklahoma City. Instead, he received word at 12:30 a.m. that he would be joining the Major League club.
The Rockies placed Tyler Chatwood on the 15-day disabled for the second time with a back strain and recalled Bergman. Chatwood missed two starts in late June with the injury.
Bergman holds a 5.89 ERA over nine appearances with the Rockies this season. He made one start, holding the Cubs to two runs over five innings.
