After the Tulo/Yankees rumors that went viral, Tulo underwent a non-invasive dry needling procedure and began his recovery road. Rough estimate is a mid-August return. Walt Weiss laughed off the Tulo rumors and stated that Josh Rutledge had an upper respiratory infection. So the bench is quite short-handed. After Yohan Flande’s good start helped slow down the bullpen overwork, Jorge De La Rosa (11-6, 4.19) will go after the Cubs in what hopefully won’t be his final start as a Rockie as the Rockies return to the top of the rotation. Boone Logan, Christian Adames, and Justin Morneau were all seen by Colorado media in the clubhouse this afternoon. If all three are activated, then three guys has got to go back to Colorado Springs. We know one is very likely to be Chad Bettis.

A guy named Christian (except there’s an extra h in there for some reason) Adames is making his major league debut, which… Read more »
I don’t think that Adames is a career minor leaguer. He’s probably a real major leaguer, but probably not much more than the 2016 Jonny Herrera.
