The Colorado Rockies announced today that they have made three moves that affect their pitching staff:<\/p>\n
Selected the contract of right-handed pitcher TJ Shook (#52) from Triple-A Albuquerque.<\/p>\n
Optioned right-handed pitcher Zach Agnos<\/a> to Triple-A Albuquerque.<\/p>\n Transferred left-handed pitcher Welinton Herrera to the 60-day injured list.<\/p>\n TJ Shook, 28, was selected by the Rockies in the Minor League Phase of the 2025 Rule 5 Draft from the New York Mets<\/a> and has spent the 2026 season in Triple-A Albuquerque. In 22 appearances, the right-hander has gone 2-0 with a 2.86 ERA that includes seven saves, eight walks and 29 strikeouts. He leads the PCL in saves and is tied for second in appearances.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Shook was originally signed by the Milwaukee Brewers<\/a> as an undrafted free agent in 2020 out of the University of South Carolina, and has a 34-23 record with 20 saves and a 4.30 ERA over six minot league seasons (151 appearances). When he first appears, he will be making his MLB debut.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Zach Agnos<\/a> was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque. This comes after a terrific start on May 21<\/a> that saw him pitch five one-hit, shutout innings against the Arizona Diamondbacks<\/a>. Unfortunately, since then, Agnos has allowed 14 earned runs combined over his last two outings (three total innings pitched). Agnos has been up-and-down all season, but given the last two outings, it\u2019s probably a good time for a reset.<\/p>\n The most unfortunate news, though, is that of rookie left-hander Welinton Herrera (No. 17 PuRP<\/a>) being transferred to the 60-day IL after being diagnosed with left elbow inflammation on Saturday. He was originally recalled<\/a> when Jos\u00e9 Quintana<\/a> suffered an elbow injury<\/a> last Sunday, and made three excellent appearances out of the bullpen (2.1 IP) \u2014 allowing just two hits and one walk while striking out two (the first of which was a failed ABS challenge by Dodgers<\/a>\u2019 catcher Daulton Rushing).<\/p>\n This brings Brennan Bernardino<\/a> back to being the lone lefty in the bullpen.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n View Link<\/a><\/p>\n Join the conversation!<\/p>\n
