The Colorado Rockies made a roster move Wednesday, placing right-handed pitcher Jaden Hill on the 15-day injured list after he was diagnosed with right shoulder tendonitis.
To fill Hill’s spot on the roster, the organization called up fellow right-hander Seth Halvorsen from their Triple-A affiliate in Albuquerque.
Hill, who is 26 years old, had been one of the more active arms in Colorado’s bullpen this season. He holds a 0-2 record with a 5.06 ERA across 32 relief outings — a figure that puts him tied for second on the team in appearances — along with two saves.
Halvorsen, also 26, has already seen time with Colorado at the major league level this year, pitching in 18 relief appearances and posting a 3.31 ERA with no decisions to his name.
