Called up by big club The Rockies recalled Rolison from Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday.

Impact Rolison will take the spot on the 26-man roster vacated by Antonio Senzatela (finger), who was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. Rolison has a 3.22 ERA and 1.49 WHIP in Triple-A this season, but he hasn't translated that success to the majors, where he has a 7.34 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 18:15 K:BB across 30.2 innings.

Demoted after rough appearance The Rockies optioned Rolison to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

Impact After yielding two runs (one earned) over 1.2 innings in his 33-pitch relief appearance in Saturday's 18-0 loss to the Orioles, Rolison was unlikely to be available for the next day or two. As a result, the Rockies opted to swap him off the 26-man active roster in favor of a fresh bullpen arm in right-hander Angel Chivilli, who was recalled from Triple-A.

Working as opener Friday Rolison will open Friday's game against the Mets, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Rolison will make his first big-league start Friday, but he'll likely only pitch an inning or two before handing the ball off to Antonio Senzatela. In seven appearances this season, Rolison has a 4.50 ERA spanning 10.0 innings.

Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper help Phillies beat Rockies 7-4 for 5th straight victory

MAY 21, 2025 • Associated Press

Strong start to big-league career Rolison threw 2.1 scoreless innings while allowing one hit Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Rolison was called up May 11 to make his big-league debut and has since made three appearances out of the bullpen. He has only one strikeout across four innings, though he also has yet to allow an earned run. Rolison is pitching multiple innings in low-leverage spots, and he has the potential to be stretched out as a starter at some point this season.

MAY 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Receives call-up The Rockies selected Rolison's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

Impact Rolison will be making his MLB debut if and when he gets into a game for the Rockies. He was previously a member of the Rockies' 40-man roster during the 2022 and 2023 seasons, but Rolison's standing in the organization fell after he struggled to bounce back from June 2022 shoulder surgery. Though the Rockies had initially developed him as a starter, Rolison made the full-time transition to relief in 2024 and has found some success in that capacity. Over his 12 appearances in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coat League this season, Rolison has delivered a 3.72 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 23:7 K:BB over 19.1 innings.

MAY 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Outrighted to Albuquerque The Rockies sent Rolison (undisclosed) outright to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

Impact Rolison missed nearly all of last season due to injury, pitching just five innings with Albuquerque across two starts and giving up seven runs in the process. The 26-year-old southpaw hasn't pitched a full season since 2021, and he'll likely need to improve upon his 6.57 ERA at Triple-A before reclaiming a spot on Colorado's 40-man roster.

OCTOBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moved to 60-day IL Rolison (undisclosed) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.

Impact Rolison has been on the injured list in Triple-A since June 4 and now finds himself on the 60-day IL for the second time this season. The move will keep him out of action in the minors through the beginning of August and opens a 40-man spot for Tommy Doyle, who was selected from Albuquerque on Friday.

JULY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back on injured list Triple-A Albuquerque placed Rolison on its 7-day injured list June 4 due to an unspecified issue.

Impact While recovering from the shoulder surgery he underwent last summer, Rolison opened the season on the Rockies' 60-day IL and didn't begin a rehab assignment in the minors until mid-May. He was ultimately optioned to Albuquerque after being reinstated from the 60-day IL, but he made just four total appearances for the Triple-A affiliate before landing back on the shelf. It's unclear if Rolison suffered a setback with his surgically repaired shoulder or if he's dealing with an unrelated issue.

JUNE 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Activated, sent to Triple-A The Rockies reinstated Rolison (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.

Impact Though Rolison still had time left in his 30-day rehab window, the southpaw didn't have a spot in the big-league rotation waiting for him, so the Rockies opted to activate him early. He'll now continue to make regular starts out of the Albuquerque rotation and work to hone his command and control after missing the entire 2022 season while recovering from surgery to repair the labrum of his left shoulder. Over his first three rehab outings between Albuquerque and Single-A Fresno, Rolison allowed nine runs on 12 hits and six walks while striking out nine in 10 innings.

MAY 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starts up rehab assignment Rolison (shoulder) began a rehab assignment with Single-A Fresno on Tuesday and tossed three scoreless innings, striking out three while allowing two hits and one walk.

Impact Rolison missed the entire 2022 season and eventually underwent surgery last June to repair the labrum in his left shoulder, but he looks to be just a few weeks away from returning from the 60-day injured list. Heading into the season, the Rockies may have initially been planning to option Rolison to Triple-A Albuquerque at the conclusion of his 30-day rehab window, but long-term elbow injuries to German Marquez and Antonio Senzatela have already tested the organization's thin pitching depth. If Rolison continues to fare reasonably well when he eventually moves his rehab assignment to higher-level affiliate, he could have a spot in the big-league rotation waiting for him once he's activated.

MAY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Throws side session Rockies manager Bud Black told reporters that Rolison (shoulder) had no issues while throwing a side session, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Rolison is currently on the 60-day injured list while recovering shoulder surgery he underwent last June. The southpaw will likely begin to throw bullpens soon, and he has a chance to contribute to the Colorado rotation in the summer months.

APRIL 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on 60-day IL Rolison (shoulder) was placed on the 60-day injured list by the Rockies on Saturday.

Impact Rolison underwent left shoulder surgery last June, and isn't expected to be ready until the summer months. The first-round pick from 2018 could be a rotation option for Colorado by the end of 2023.

MARCH 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Throws off mound Friday Rolison (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Friday, Danielle Allentuck of the Denver Gazette reports.

Impact It's an important milestone for Rolison, who had left shoulder surgery last June. The 2018 first-round pick is expected to be game-ready around late May or early June, but it will probably be after the All-Star break before he might be considered for his first big-league promotion.

FEBRUARY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On track for spring training Rockies general manager Bill Schmidt said Friday that Rolison (shoulder) is expected to be ready to go for the start of spring training, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports...

Impact The 25-year-old Rolison didn't pitch in 2022 after ultimately undergoing season-ending left shoulder surgery in mid-June, but he appears to be progressing as anticipated in his rehab and recovery program and looks set to head into spring training with few restrictions, if any. Rolison should get the chance to battle for a back-end spot in the Colorado rotation this spring, but his lack of prior MLB experience in addition to the fact that he's coming off an injury means he's more likely to begin the campaign as a starter at Triple-A Albuquerque.

JANUARY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Shoulder surgery completed Rolison announced Wednesday via his personal Twitter account that he underwent surgery on his left shoulder in Los Angeles.

Impact His surgery was overseen by renowned orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache and apparently went according to plan. Rolison confirmed he'll miss the rest of the 2022 season but noted in his post that he expects to be ready to go for the start of the 2023 campaign.

JUNE 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Slated for surgery Rolison (shoulder) will undergo surgery in the coming weeks, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.

Impact Rolison had been sidelined with a shoulder injury since the end of spring training, and the Rockies said this week that he hadn't made as much progress in his recovery as the team had hoped. After visiting with a specialist, the southpaw will undergo a procedure that will likely force him to miss the rest of the season. Rolison hasn't yet made his major-league debut, but it's possible that he'll join Colorado in 2023 as long as he's back to full health.

JUNE 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Two top Rockies prospects will undergo surgery and Colorado's pitching depth is in trouble Lefty starter Ryan Rolison and third baseman Colton Welker will undergo shoulder surgery in the coming weeks, likely ending their seasons.

JUNE 3, 2022 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Progressing slower than expected Rolison (shoulder) hasn't made as much progress in his recovery as the Rockies had hoped, so he'll visit a specialist next week, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Rolison was placed on the 60-day injured list with a left shoulder strain at the end of spring training, but his injury hasn't improved much over the last several weeks. A better idea of the left-hander's status will likely come into focus after he's examined by a specialist.

JUNE 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lands on 60-day IL Rolison was placed on the 60-day injured list Monday with a left shoulder strain.

Impact Rolison has been shut down from throwing for two weeks after receiving two anti-inflammatory shots in his left shoulder, and he'll now be sidelined for at least the first two months of the season. The 24-year-old has yet to make his big-league debut and is likely to pitch at Triple-A Albuquerque once healthy.

APRIL 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Facing two-week shutdown Rolison has received two anti-inflammatory shots in his left shoulder and will be shut down for two weeks, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Rolison was reassigned to minor-league camp in late March, and he was apparently bothered by his shoulder injury throughout spring training. Although he initially thought that he'd be able to play through the injury, he'll take time to recover since his velocity and results were impacted. The southpaw will likely be placed on the 60-day injured list since he'll require time to build up following his shutdown.

APRIL 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Goes to MiLB camp The Rockies optioned Rolison to Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday.

Impact Rolison was one of four players on the Rockies' 40-man roster that was dispatched to the minors Thursday, leaving Colorado with 47 players remaining at MLB camp. The 24-year-old lefty will likely step into the rotation at Albuquerque, with whom he made 10 starts in 2021. He covered 45.2 innings in those outings, pitching to a 5.91 ERA and 1.48 WHIP.
