Rockies Place Chase Dollander On 15-Day IL With Right Elbow Sprain

Overview

• Colorado placed Dollander on the 15-day injured list Friday with a right elbow sprain, and he is expected to miss at least the next couple of weeks.
• He left Thursday’s start in Pittsburgh in the second inning with arm tightness, and he told MLB.com no imaging had been scheduled after the game.
• The team corrected its initial description from a right elbow strain to a sprain, and it has not provided further medical details.
• Colorado recalled left-hander Sammy Peralta to fill the roster spot, placed reliever Jimmy Herget on the 15-day IL with a shoulder impingement, and brought up Sterlin Thompson as Tyler Freeman went on paternity leave.
• Tanner Gordon, recalled earlier Thursday, covered four innings in relief, and the Rockies now lean on Kyle Freeland, Michael Lorenzen, Jose Quintana and Tomoyuki Sugano as they sort out a fifth starter with Triple-A options available.
