McMahon has allowed four earned runs across his last 11 innings while maintaining a 9:1 K:BB with High-A Spokane.
McMahon missed the majority of the 2022 season with a lat strain but returned to make rehab outings in late July. He appears to be back to near full strength since, as he's worked five and six innings in each of his last two starts, respectively. McMahon figures to have a chance to crack the Rockies' rotation in a few seasons, so long as he can consistently remain on the mound.

Rockies' Chris McMahon: Makes 2022 debut
Rotowire
McMahon (lat) has struck out five while allowing two earned runs on five hits and two walks in two appearances for the Rockies' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate since making his season debut July 23.

After completing his throwing program shortly before the All-Star break, McMahon was cleared for game action in the ACL. He'll likely continue to steadily build up his pitch count in his subsequent outings in rookie ball before potentially reporting to Single-A Fresno or Spokane.

Rockies' Chris McMahon: Out with lat injury
Rotowire
McMahon is out with a lat strain, Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com reports.
He suffered the injury late this spring, so he may not return anytime soon. From a pure stuff standpoint, McMahon is arguably the Rockies' best pitching prospect, but it's tough to get too excited about any pitching prospect who will have to pitch half his games in Coors Field.
