Rockies shake up bullpen, place Oh on 10-day injured list | Mile High Sports
Seunghwan Oh has been put on the 10-day IL with an abdominal strain. He’s been struggling this year, giving up 19 runs in 18.1 innings pitched. This was somewhat disappointing after his success last year after being brought in to help boost Rockies relievers. This is likely his final showing in the United States, as his contract is up and he’s stated he’d like to finish his career in South Korea. Phillip Diehl was called up from Triple-A to take his place. Diehl’s had a 2.30 ERA in 23 appearances between Double- and Triple-A. The Rockies also announced that Tyler Anderson will undergo surgery on his knee.

Colorado Rockies: 4 starting pitchers that could help the Rockies rotation | Rox Pile
In the offseason, the Rockies’ starting rotation was touted to be one of the saving graces for the 2019 season. However, they’ve currently got the worst starter’s ERA in the whole MLB. Just about every starter has struggled, with German Marquez being the most reliable but still having some rough games. If the Rockies wanted to test out the market, there could be some pitchers who could help out. Marcus Stroman and Matthew Boyd are two possibilities from the AL Stroman’s been a bit streaky, but he has potential. Boyd had shown steady improvement as time goes by. From the NL (excluding the West, as the Rockies are unlikely to get someone from within the division) are Tanner Roark and Sonny Gray. If the Rockies want to make it to another postseason they’ll likely to seek someone for the starting rotation. Who knows if the Rockies will actually make any kind of move.
