Rockies' Harrison Musgrave: Activated and optioned
Rotowire
Musgrave (elbow) was activated off the 60-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.
Musgrave spent the first part of the season in the big leagues, posting a 3.60 ERA in 10 innings prior to straining his left elbow flexor in early May. He should have a shot to return to Colorado next time the Rockies need another reliever. Brendan Rodgers (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list to clear up a spot on the 40-man roster.

Rockies' Harrison Musgrave: Moves rehab to spring facility
Rotowire
Musgrave (elbow) will report to the Rockies' spring training facility in Salt River on Sunday to continue his rehab, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.
Musgrave was put on the 10-day injured list May 4 with a left elbow flexor strain and will head to Salt River, hopefully to establish a timetable for a return during the Rockies' upcoming east coast road trip. The left-hander had given up four earned runs in 10 relief appearances prior to the injury.

Rockies' Harrison Musgrave: Enters 2019 as reliever
Rotowire
Musgrave is being considered a full-time reliever this season, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.
Musgrave nearly broke camp in the Rockies' rotation back in 2017, but wound up waiting to make his major-league debut until 2018 as a reliever. After displaying some success in the majors -- especially against lefties (.217 BAA in 2018) -- the left-hander is vying for a spot in the bullpen as a long reliever. Having him and Chris Rusin in the bullpen is a bit redundant, however, so there's a good chance Musgrave begins the season back with Triple-A Albuquerque.
Musgrave tossed 33.2 innings of relief for the Rockies earlier in the season, recording a 5.08 ERA and an unimpressive 23:17 K:BB. He'll serve as low-leverage depth for the team's playoff push.

Rockies' Harrison Musgrave: Optioned to minors
Rotowire
Musgrave was sent down to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Musgrave was cast off the active roster in order to make room for Scott Oberg, who was reinstated from the paternity list in a corresponding move. Through 24 appearances in the big leagues this year, Musgrave has logged a pedestrian 5.08 ERA and 1.31 WHIP with a 23:17 K:BB across 33.2 innings of relief.
Musgrave (hip) was activated from the 10-day disabled list Tuesday.
He ends up missing the minimum amount of time on the DL. Musgrave, who has a 4.76 ERA in 28.1 innings, will return to a low-leverage role in the bullpen.

Rockies' Harrison Musgrave: Set to begin rehab assignment
Rotowire
Musgrove (hip) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
He's expected to cover two innings out of the bullpen in relief of Chad Bettis (finger), who is also joining Albuquerque for a rehab outing. Musgrove landed on the 10-day disabled list with a strained right hip flexor last weekend and doesn't look like he'll be sidelined for much longer than the minimum amount of time.

Rockies' Harrison Musgrave: Back from bereavement
Rotowire
Musgrave was reinstated from the bereavement list Wednesday, The Denver Post reports.
Musgrave is back with the Rockies after missing the last three games while on bereavement. With three of the team's other key relievers (Adam Ottavino, Mike Dunn and Scott Oberg) all on the disabled list, Musgrave could see some high-leverage innings upon his return to action.

Rockies' Harrison Musgrave: Hits bereavement list
Rotowire
The Rockies placed Musgrave on the bereavement list Saturday.
Musgrave has been unavailable for the past three games, putting a strain on a Colorado bullpen that has three other key relievers (Adam Ottavino, Mike Dunn and Scott Oberg) on the 10-day disabled list. He could rejoin the Rockies in Philadelphia ahead of Wednesday's game against the Phillies, but will likely be limited to low-leverage work once he returns.

Rockies' Harrison Musgrave: Holds own in first MLB stint
Rotowire
Musgrave holds a 1.00 ERA and 0.89 WHIP in nine innings since being promoted from Triple-A Albuquerque.
The 26-year-old lefty doesn't overwhelm anyone with velocity, but he has held his own against big-league hitters this season. Musgrave is especially dominating lefties, as they have yet to collect a hit off him this season. His 4:4 K:BB is pretty weak, however, largely limiting his fantasy intrigue unless he gets a chance to make a spot start or two.

Rockies' Harrison Musgrave: Promoted to big leagues
Rotowire
Musgrave's contract was purchased from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.
With Chris Rusin landing on the disabled list with an intercostal strain, the Rockies were in need of a new long reliever. Enter Musgrave, who very nearly grabbed a rotation spot in last year's spring training. The young southpaw has a 3.38 ERA and a 10:2 K:BB in three starts for the Isotopes this season, so he offers some intrigue in case he gets called to make a spot start during his time in the majors.

Rockies' Harrison Musgrave: Option to occupy MLB rotation spot
Rotowire
Musgrave is a candidate to fill the vacancy in the Rockies rotation created when Jon Gray (toe) was placed on the disabled list, Nick Groke of The Denver Post reports.
The 25-year-old southpaw hung around in big league camp and competed for a rotation spot to the end of spring training. Although the opportunity is there, Musgrave hasn't enjoyed as much success at Triple-A Albuquerque as he did in spring training, and given Musgrave's status off the 40-man roster, Jeff Hoffman and German Marquez may have the upper hand at the moment. The Rockies don't need a fifth starter until April 28, however, so this is a bit of a moot point in the present.
