Rockies' Riley Pint: Optioned to Albuquerque
Rotowire
The Rockies optioned Pint to Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday.
Pint will head back to the minors after surrendering four earned runs in just two-thirds of an inning Wednesday against Arizona. He owns a 3.10 ERA through 29 frames in Triple-A and could still be an option to return to Colorado's bullpen later in the season, but he'll likely need to turn in some positive results in the minors first.

Rockies' Riley Pint: Sent back to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Rockies optioned Pint to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday, Patrick Lyons of Just Baseball reports.
Pint gets the boot even after tossing six scoreless innings this spring, though that did come with a 5:4 K:BB. The hard-throwing right-hander has major control issues but the swing-and-miss stuff to be a late-inning reliever if he can just get the walks to a passable level.

Rockies' Riley Pint: Shakes off oblique injury
Rotowire
Pint (oblique) worked an inning of relief Saturday in Triple-A Albuquerque's 6-1 loss to Round Rock, giving up two earned runs on two hits and a walk while striking out two.
Though an oblique strain sidelined Pint for a good chunk of Rockies camp, he avoided a season-opening stint on the big-league injured list or the minor-league IL. After being added to the 40-man roster over the winter, Pint appears to be on the cusp of making his MLB debut, but he'll first have to perform well at the Triple-A level before getting a call to the Colorado bullpen.

Rockies' Riley Pint: Nursing oblique injury
Rotowire
Rockies manager Bud Black said Wednesday that Pint is dealing with a mild oblique strain, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Pint apparently sustained the injury during a workout Tuesday, though because the right-hander was able to finish the session despite some discomfort, Black is hopeful he won't miss too much time during camp. Pint was added to the Rockies' 40-man roster over the winter, but since he's made just three career appearances above the Double-A level, he doesn't appear to be a serious candidate to make Colorado's Opening Day roster even if he quickly moves past the injury.

Rockies' Riley Pint: Joins 40-man roster
Rotowire
Pint was added to the Rockies' 40-man roster Tuesday.
Pint, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2016 draft, stepped away from baseball in 2021 after significant struggles, but he rejoined the Rockies in March of 2022 and had some success as a reliever at Double-A and Triple-A. Now 25 years old, the former starter will focus on honing his command in order to contribute to the big-league bullpen in 2023.
