The Rockies recalled Blalock from Triple-A Albuquerque, and he'll start in Sunday's series finale versus the Reds at Coors Field.

Blalock won a spot on the Rockies' Opening Day roster as a long reliever, making two appearances out of the bullpen before being optioned to Triple-A. The 24-year-old right-hander has since started three games at Triple-A and will now get his first start of the season with the big club, affording all other members of the rotation an extra day of rest. The Rockies haven't announced their plans for Blalock beyond Sunday, but a poor showing would put him at risk of a demotion.
