Rockies' Bradley Blalock: Heads to Triple-A
The Rockies optioned Blalock to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
With Austin Gomber (shoulder) on the shelf to begin the season, Blalock headed into Opening Day as the Rockies' presumptive No. 5 starter. However, a few off days early on in the team's schedule allowed the Rockies to get by with a four-man rotation, and Blalock ended up making a pair of relief appearances over the team's first eight games. The Rockies will break in a fifth member of the rotation for Sunday's game against the Athletics, but it won't be Blalock who gets the nod. Instead, he'll head to Triple-A to clear room on the active roster for prized pitching prospect Chase Dollander, whose contract was selected from Albuquerque. Blalock will get stretched back out as a starter at Albuquerque after covering two innings Saturday in his most recent relief appearance.
