Rockies Place Carlos Gonzalez, Tyler Anderson On 10-Day DL

By Jeff Todd | June 27, 2017 at 7:10pm CDT

JUNE 27: Anderson’s injury will require arthroscopic surgery and could sideline him for up to four weeks, Saunders further reports (Twitter link).

JUNE 26: The Rockies have placed both outfielder Carlos Gonzalez and southpaw Tyler Anderson on the 10-day DL, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports on Twitter. Two relievers will take the open roster spots, with Chad Qualls returning from the DL and Jairo Diaz receiving a call-up.

A sore shoulder has bothered Gonzalez of late, and seems to be the cause for the move. But he’ll also surely welcome a chance to clear his head after a brutal start to the season. Over his 277 plate appearances, CarGo owns a .221/.300/.348 slash line with just six home runs — well shy of his typical output and even worse when adjusted for his advantageous home ballpark.

Meanwhile, Anderson returns to the DL after re-injuring his left knee. That same joint kept him on the shelf for most of June. Anderson was excellent last year for Colorado as a rookie, but has struggled for the most part in 2017. Notably, he has already allowed more homers (15) this year than he did last, in barely half as many innings. Anderson carries a 6.11 ERA — albeit with a strong 9.0 K/9 against 3.3 BB/9 — through 63 1/3 frames.

Though Gonzalez is the bigger name here, of course, Anderson’s situation is probably of greater importance to the Rockies’ deadline plans. While Jon Gray is set to return in short order, adding to the top of the rotation, it’s fair to wonder whether the club will at least explore the trade market for starters. The team’s youthful staff has been much better than expected, though the sustainability remains a question and several hurlers have hit rough stretches.

Deepening the relief corps is also a deadline possibility for Colorado, it would seem. Just how much of a priority that will be could depend upon the performances of Qualls and Diaz. The former has not been terribly effective since joining the Rox last year, while the latter has been strong at Triple-A thus far as he works back from Tommy John surgery. Diaz missed all of 2016 after turning in 19 promising innings in the majors in the prior season, when he worked to a 2.37 ERA with 8.5 K/9 and 2.8 BB/9 while sitting at 97 mph with his fastball.

    It’s crazy how well the Rockies have been playing with virtually no contribution from Cargo, their ace being on the shelf up until this point and the unfortunate situation with Chad Bettis.

    If Cargo gets hot when he returns from the DL then it’s scary how good this team will be.

    Anyone know who will take Anderson’s spot in the rotation? Senzatela? Or will Gray be back in time?

    What happened to Rockies they were swept by Dodgers and now can’t even beat giants the worst team in all of baseball. The Mets just finished a sweep of giants and Rockies can’t beat then. what up is season over . Lost 7 in row have not played well since blowing game in in Arizona.

    Here’s a crazy stat for y’all. Each of the last 2 seasons when Rox catcher Ryan Hanigan was playing for the Red Sox he went on the 15 day DL (2015 hamstring 2016 neck) and for both of those DL stints the Sox lost 15 games straight. This year he comes up when Wolters has a concussion and the team goes 10-3 with him back there and they send him down when Murphy is healthy and the team has since gone 1-7 and are now in 3rd place with their chances slipping away. Call it a coincidence? I don’t. You see, you don’t need to be the best player out there, you need to be a leader and that’s what Ryan brings to the plate whether on the field or in the clubhouse. His veteran experiences are invaluable assets to a young team in need of a leader to hold the camaraderie of a team together. He’s great for the team, but might not be so great for the business side of the equation looking to push young 20-somethings into the limelight. If the Rox want to be successful they need some veteran leadership in their corner.

    rockies loose again, against giants did not average 3 runs per game. Whats up expect this against dodgers and snakes but not giants. If they don’t wake up they could be 12 behind come Monday.
