Lucas Gilbreath - Returns to minorsGilbreath was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
ImpactThe 25-year-old has now completed his second stint in the majors this season and has allowed six runs on eight hits with five strikeouts and two walks over 5.1 innings. Gilbreath worked as a starter the last time he was in the minors in 2019, and it's unclear if he'll return to that role or continue working out of the bullpen.

He's good to go after taking the precious day off and will look to build on a recent stretch which has seen him hit .353 with four steals in his last 13 games.
