June 22, 2012

Colorado Rockies – Sent to the minors after some early season struggles, Rex Brothers returned to the big leagues earlier this month and has since been dominant.  Yesterday, he finished off the 7th inning, and has now allowing just 2 hits and 1 run in 8.2 innings, while striking out 14.  Adam Ottavino, meanwhile, has struggled as of late, allowing 6 runs in his last 6.2 innings.  Hierarchy change: Rex Brothers to 2nd in line, replacing Adam Ottavino.
