Secures win in relief Sunday Molina (1-1) was the pitcher of record in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Diamondbacks after striking out two while giving up one hit and one walk over a scoreless inning of relief.
Impact The Rockies called Molina up from Triple-A Albuquerque to make a start Aug. 5 versus the Blue Jays, but after surrendering seven earned runs on nine hits and one walk over five innings in that outing, he was moved to the bullpen. After Molina tossed 2.1 innings in relief in Thursday's series opener, the Rockies turned to him again Sunday in the top of the seventh inning while Arizona was up 4-1. Molina came through with a clean frame, then ended up picking up the win after the Rockies put up four runs in the bottom of the inning.

Impact Kyle Freeland has been dealing with a sinus infection and will be pushed back from Tuesday to make his next start in Wednesday, but Colorado already had an existing opening in its rotation for the series with the Blue Jays after Antonio Senzatela (finger) was placed on the injured list Saturday. Molina will be called upon to take over Senzatela's spot, and assuming he's not used as a primary pitcher out of the bullpen, the 23-year-old will pick up his second MLB start and his first of the 2025 season. Since being optioned to Triple-A on June 27, Molina has been one of Albuquerque's most effective starters, as he's turned in a 3.06 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 15:4 K:BB in 17.2 innings over four outings. Molina could be in line for multiple turns through the Colorado rotation until the Rockies get one of Senzatela or German Marquez (biceps) back from the IL.

Receives call-up The Rockies recalled Molina from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
Impact Molina made all but one of his 35 appearances with the Rockies as a reliever while he was a member of the active roster as a Rule 5 selection in 2024, but he's made the full-time move to the rotation at Albuquerque this season. Over his seven starts at Triple-A, Molina has produced a 9.20 ERA, 2.39 WHIP and 23:18 K:BB in 30.1 innings. The Rockies have an opening in the rotation after optioning Bradley Blalock to Albuquerque in a corresponding move, but Molina is expected to serve as a long man out of the Colorado bullpen initially.

Optioned to Triple-A The Rockies optioned Molina to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.
Impact Molina appeared in two spring training games for the Rockies and allowed four earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out three over three innings. He'll start the 2025 campaign in the minors, and he'll look to perform well enough to get a call-up to the majors should the Rockies need another arm out of the bullpen. Molina posted a 6.75 ERA and 1.58 WHIP across 59.2 innings for Colorado during the 2024 regular season.

Records five outs in first start Molina gave up three earned runs on two hits and three walks across 1.2 innings in Monday's 8-6 win over the Guardians.
Impact Molina stepped in for his first MLB start on short notice after Austin Gomber (arm) was scratched ahead of the game, but the Rule 5 pick ended up serving as more of an opener than a traditional starting pitcher. He needed 45 pitches just to record five outs before being pulled in favor of Josh Rogers, who tossed five innings of two-run ball in bulk relief. If Gomber ends up landing on the injured list and isn't able to make his next turn this weekend in Los Angeles, Rogers would likely be the preferred choice over Molina to make a spot start or cover the bulk of the innings.
