The Colorado Rockies place a couple pitchers on the DL
The Rockies have placed starter Rodrigo Lopez and reliever Ramon Ramirez both on the 15 day disabled list. Lopez has tightness in his right elbow. It’s a shame that Lopez hurt himself because he’s been really pitching good so far this season. In three starts, Lopez has compiled a 1-0 record with a 1.59 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP. Ramirez has a sprained right elbow and it’s hard to pitch with that. Ramirez was also off to a great start as he was 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA and a 0.53 WHIP in 7 games so far this season. The Rockies have recalled Ryan Speier and Bobby Keppel to take the roster spots of Lopez & Ramirez.
