Rockies place right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano on 15-day injured list with back spasms
Sean Sullivan will start in Sugano’s place as the Rockies add Jordan Romano and lose Seth Halvorsen to the injured list.
- The Colorado Rockies placed starting pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano and reliever Seth Halvorsen on the 15-day injured list Saturday, recalling left-hander Sean Sullivan and selecting two-time All-Star reliever Jordan Romano from Triple-A Albuquerque.
- Back spasms forced Sugano to the list retroactive to Wednesday, while Halvorsen is sidelined with shoulder inflammation; Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer said the injury to Sugano "should be very minimal."
- Romano joins the bullpen after signing a minor-league deal in May, with Schaeffer noting, "He knows what he's doing out there on a big-league mound." The club is "super, super happy to have him."
- The veteran reliever brings extensive experience, having appeared in 291 major league games over eight seasons for the Blue Jays, Phillies, and Los Angeles Angels with a 22-23 career record and 3.64 ERA.
- Across 16 starts this season, Sugano posted an 8-4 record with a 4.80 ERA, 48 strikeouts, and a 1.32 WHIP before the injury sidelined him. His absence creates a significant gap in Colorado's rotation.
