Rockies place right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano on 15-day injured list with back spasms

Tomoyuki Sugano was slated to start the second of a three-game series against San Francisco

4 DAYS AGO • Associated Press

Lands on IL due to back spasms Colorado placed Sugano (back) on the 15-day injured list Saturday.

Impact Sugano was slated to pitch Saturday after having a few extra days to deal with a finger injury. While that issue appears to be in the rearview mirror, the right-handed hurler recently developed back spasms that are serious enough to result in a stint on the IL. Sean Sullivan was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday to replace Sugano in the rotation.

Scratched from Saturday's start Sugano will no longer start against the Giants on Saturday due to back spasms.

Impact Sugano was initially given the green light to start Saturday after developing a finger injury in his last outing against the Twins on June 26, when he allowed seven runs on eight hits (two home runs) and one walk while striking out two across five innings. However, he's now dealing with back spasms that will sideline him for Saturday's contest, and it's unclear whether he'll make another turn in the rotation before the All-Star break. In Sugano's absence, the Rockies are expected to recall southpaw Sean Sullivan from Triple-A Albuquerque, who will fill in as Colorado's starter Saturday.

McCarthy leads Rockies against the Giants after 4-hit outing

The Colorado Rockies take on the San Francisco Giants after Jake McCarthy had four hits against the Giants on Friday

Ready to start Saturday Sugano (finger) is listed as the Rockies' starting pitcher for Saturday's game against the Giants at Coors Field, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Sugano developed a finger injury during his most recent start this past Friday in Minnesota, resulting in the Rockies pushing him back in their pitching schedule this week. The right-hander apparently experienced no complications with the injury following a bullpen session earlier this week, so he's not expected to be operating with any restrictions Saturday. Sugano is tied for the team lead with eight wins on the season, but his poor ratios (4.80 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, 7.0 K-BB%) have made it difficult to depend on him as anything more than a streaming option in deeper leagues.

Start pushed to next weekend Sugano isn't expected to make his next start until the Rockies' weekend series versus the Giants at Coors Field while he tends to a finger injury, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports...

Impact After claiming victories in four straight starts, Sugano's winning streak came to a halt last Friday, when he was charged with a season-high seven earned runs over five innings in a no-decision against the Twins. Sugano may have been battling the finger injury at some point during that start, prompting the Rockies to give him at least an extra day or two of rest before he slots back into the rotation. The right-hander owns a 4.80 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 48:23 K:BB over 84.1 innings with Colorado on the season.

Escapes with no-decision Sugano did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing seven runs on eight hits and one walk over five innings against the Twins. He struck out two.

Impact The Japanese right-hander quickly put Colorado in a hole by serving up two-run homers in the first and second innings before surrendering three more tallies in the fifth. The Rockies stormed back to temporarily take the lead in the ninth inning and get Sugano off the hook for the loss before Minnesota walked it off in the 10th. The no-decision ends a run of four straight wins for Sugano, though he had an inflated 5.14 ERA during that stretch since he allowed six earned runs versus the A's on June 29. A matchup with the Marlins is likely on deck for him next week.

Tosses quality start in eighth win Sugano (8-4) completed six innings in a win against Pittsburgh on Saturday, allowing one run on four hits and no walks while striking out five batters.

Impact Sugano's outing got off to an ominous beginning when Spencer Horwitz tagged him for a leadoff homer in the first inning. However, that ended up being the only run the Japanese hurler allowed, and he finished his start by retiring the final 12 batters he faced. Sugano ultimately outdueled Paul Skenes to notch his fourth consecutive victory, though this was the first time during that streak that he notched a quality start. Sugano is now an impressive 8-4 for the last-place Rockies, but that hasn't made him an appealing fantasy asset. The right-hander's 4.31 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 46:22 K:BB through 79.1 innings have kept him on the waiver wire in most standard formats.

Gets win in slugfest Sugano (7-4) allowed eight runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out two over five innings to pick up the win over the Athletics on Sunday.

Impact Sugano didn't pitch well, but he left the game with the Rockies leading 14-8. He was tagged for just one home run, but this was still his worst start of the season despite the silver lining of a victory. He's at a 4.79 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 41:22 K:BB through 73.1 innings over 14 starts. Sugano's 4.65 ERA at home is actually a little better than the 4.89 mark he has on the road after this outing in Las Vegas. He's still risky regardless of venue, and his next start is projected to be at home versus the Pirates.

Improves to 6-4 Sugano (6-4) earned the win over the Cubs on Tuesday, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three batters over five-plus innings.

Impact Sugano cruised through five frames, allowing just one run. He remained in the game to begin the sixth and gave up a homer to Michael Busch followed by an Alex Bregman single before getting pulled. Though Bregman eventually came around to score, Sugano got enough support to notch the victory. The right-hander has now yielded three or fewer runs in five straight starts, compiling a decent 4.10 ERA across 26.1 frames during that span. He's been a steady but unspectacular part of the Rockies' rotation, posting a 4.08 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 39:20 K:BB through 68.1 innings spanning 13 starts. Sugano's home park and low strikeout numbers greatly dampen his appeal in fantasy.
