Rockies Reinstate Wade Davis From Injured List

By Mark Polishuk | September 12, 2020 at 5:33pm CDT

The Rockies have activated right-hander Wade Davis off the 10-day injured list.  In a corresponding move, the team also announced that right-hander Ashton Goudeau has been sent down to the Rockies’ alternate training site.

Davis hit the IL with a right shoulder strain back on August 2, following an ugly start to the season that saw the reliever allow five earned runs over his first 2 2/3 innings of action, resulting in a 16.88 ERA.  Given Davis’ struggles both this season and in 2019, it’s probably safe to assume that he won’t regain the closer job, as Daniel Bard has emerged as a solid ninth-inning option for the Rox.

This role change will impact Davis going into next season, as a vesting option in his contract would have guaranteed the $15MM mutual option on his services for 2021 if Davis had finished 30 games — or, in this shortened 2020 season, either 11 or 12 games.  As a result, this will likely bring an end to Davis’ tenure in Colorado, a stint that has to go down as a disappointment for the Rockies given the lack of return on their three-year, $52MM investment in the veteran reliever.  There’s still time for Davis to go out on a high note, however, if he can pitch well down the stretch and help the Rockies reach the postseason.

    Rumor has it Jeff Bridich has been scouting FA relievers this year. Rumor has it he’s going to offer Blake Treinen 4 years and 48 million. Apparently a Greg Holland reunion is also on his to do list. He was thinking 40 million over 3 years would be a nice bargain for him.

    He’s also taking a hard look at Corey Kluber. Really thinks his stuff will play up in the bullpen. Sources say he believes that 4 years 65 mil will be an absolute bargain.

      Rumor also has it that he thinks signing Bartolo Colon for 3 years 45 million will be the steal of the offseason.

    Why activate Davis early in a homestand? He’s proven the last couple of years that he can’t get anybody out at Coors Field.

    Time to talk about new management and even coaching changes in Colorado. This team strikes out way too much. And let’s start by letting G.M Bridich find a new home. Wade Davis is done in Colorado and Bard makes me nervous in the closer role. We may have to move Arenado for pitching help. There are other candidates for the trade moves as well. Time for some new players, and a new outlook.

      Bard has been excellent. That move has been one of the few good ones he has done. As for Davis maybe they can get 2 good weeks out of him.
