The Rockies optioned Justice to Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday. Justice will head back to the minors just four days after joining the big club and recording one out in his season debut Sunday. The 26-year-old southpaw owns a 9.90 ERA through 20 innings at Albuquerque, though he's surrendered just one earned run across his last six minor-league appearances. Jaden Hill was selected from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

The Rockies recalled Justice from Triple-A Albuquerque ahead of Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Orioles. He faced two batters in relief, striking out one and walking the other. Justice's brief relief appearance was his first in the big leagues in 2024, as he had been added to the 40-man roster last August but hadn't received a call-up from Triple-A this season after being optioned to the minors coming out of spring training. The lefty reliever submitted a 9.90 ERA, 2.50 WHIP and 21:29 K:BB in 20 innings at Albuquerque this season, but he had given up just one earned run in his last seven outings prior to getting called up.

Triple-A Albuquerque reinstated Justice (undisclosed) from its 7-day injured list Friday. Justice made his first appearance for Albuquerque since April 13 on Saturday, giving up one earned run on three walks while retiring one batter in Albuquerque's 7-4 win over Sacramento. The reliever was cleared to rejoin Albuquerque after making three rehab appearances, two in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and one with Single-A Fresno.

Triple-A Albuquerque placed Justice on its 7-day injured list April 17 with an unspecified injury. Before being deactivated, Justice made seven relief appearances for Albuquerque, giving up seven earned runs on six hits and eight walks over five innings. The 25-year-old lefty retains a spot on the Rockies' 40-man roster, but he'll stay on the minor-league IL for now.

The Rockies optioned Justice to Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday. Justice was in the race to win a spot in Colorado's Opening Day bullpen, but he will instead begin the year in the minors after giving up five earned runs in eight spring innings. Justice was quickly promoted through the Rockies' farm system and into the majors last season after starting the year in High-A ball. His performance steadily declined as he advanced to higher levels, so a demotion to Triple-A could allow Justice to get his feet back underneath him.
