• Rockies' Seth Halvorsen: Resumes throwing

  09/10/2025 • By RotoWire

  Halvorsen (elbow) has resumed throwing from 60 feet and is hoping to return from the injured list prior to the end of the season, MLB.com reports. This marks Halvorsen's first notable progress since he was sidelined in early August with an elbow injury. He hopes to pitch in a game before the season is over, but Halvorsen is expected to be at full strength shortly after the campaign ends if he cannot return.

  Halvorsen (elbow) is continuing his rehab, but he will not begin the next steps toward his return to the field until early September, MLB.com reports. The Rockies continue to say that Halvorsen could return this season, but it appears that he will only be available for a few weeks at best. His role upon his return could also be murky, as Victor Vodnik has turned in five consecutive scoreless appearances, piling up four saves and a win.

• Rockies' Seth Halvorsen: Could return in 2025

  08/04/2025 • By RotoWire

  Rockies interim manager Warren Schaeffer said Monday that Halvorsen has been diagnosed with a mild flexor strain in his right elbow and could be activated from the 15-day injured list prior to the end of the season, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. Halvorsen was pulled after just five pitches in his relief appearance in the ninth inning of Saturday's 8-5 win over the Pirates and landed on the IL a day later. The good news for Halvorsen and the Rockies is that the 25-year-old does not have a serious injury that would have necessitated surgery, and if all goes smoothly in his recovery process, he could be back in action at some point in the next few weeks. Halvorsen has collected a 4.99 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 36:21 K:BB across 39.2 innings this season and has converted on 11 of 14 save attempts. Schaeffer mentioned Victor Vodnik and Juan Mejia as the top candidates to close games for the Rockies while Halvorsen is on the shelf.

• Rockies' Seth Halvorsen: Shut down with elbow strain

  08/03/2025 • By RotoWire

  The Rockies placed Halvorsen on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a right elbow strain. Halvorsen's elbow acted up Saturday, prompting the Rockies to pull him from the contest midway through Spencer Horwitz's at-bat. Though Dugan Darnell ended up finishing out the contest, Victor Vodnik and Juan Mejia could be the top options for saves while Halvorsen is on the shelf. According to Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post, the right-hander will undergo an MRI on Sunday, and he's likely to miss more than the minimum 15 days. Halvorsen has converted 11 of 14 save chances while providing a 4.99 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 36:21 K:BB in 39.2 innings on the season.

• Rockies' Seth Halvorsen: May have serious elbow injury

  08/02/2025 • By RotoWire

  Halvorsen suffered a right elbow injury in Saturday's 8-5 win over the Pirates, and Rockies interim manager Warren Schaeffer said after the contest that the closer's injury "don't look good," Christian Saez of TheDNVR.com reports. Halvorsen threw only five pitches before he was removed in the top of the ninth inning in the middle of Spencer Horwitz's at-bat. Given Schaeffer's comments, Halvorsen may be dealing with a serious injury, though the team will presumably await test results before determining next steps. Victor Vodnik could be next in line for save chances if Halvorsen does indeed need to miss time.
