Goes unclaimed The Rockies outrighted Curtiss to Triple-A Albuquerque on Aug. 9.
Impact Curtiss would have had the option of electing free agency after he cleared waivers, but he instead chose to stick around in the Colorado organization as relief depth at the Triple-A level. He's made two appearances for Albuquerque since clearing waivers, covering one inning while giving up one earned run on three hits.

Injured at Double-A Double-A Hartford placed Ritter on its 7-day injured list July 31 with an unspecified injury.
Impact The 23-year-old shortstop slashed .286/.389/.431 with six home runs and 17 stolen bases over 318 plate appearances for Hartford before being deactivated. It's unclear if Ritter will return to action at Double-A before Hartford's regular season ends Sept. 15.

Gets first MLB call-up The Rockies selected Criswell's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.
Impact The 25-year-old right-hander will head to the big leagues for the first time after turning in a 6.24 ERA, 1.80 WHIP and 83:28 K:BB over 57.2 innings with Albuquerque. He'll be joining the bullpen as a replacement for the injured Victor Vodnik (bicep) and will most likely be deployed in lower-leverage spots while he's up with the Rockies.
AUGUST 21 • ROTOWIRE
Goes on IL with bicep issue The Rockies placed Vodnik on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with right bicep inflammation.
Impact Dating back to the start of July, Vodnik had posted a 3.74 ERA while going 9-for-10 in save chances over 20 appearances to solidify himself as the Rockies' closer, but his shoulder injury now creates an opening at the back end of the bullpen. Tyler Kinley previously converted a save Aug. 1 and had collected holds in seven of his last nine appearances, so he would appear to be first in line to step in at closer as a replacement for Vodnik. A clear timeline for Vodnik's return hasn't been established, but the fact that he has been diagnosed with bicep inflammation rather than a strain could make him a candidate to return from the IL once his 15 days are up.

Sitting again Wednesday Cave is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
Impact The lefty-hitting Cave is on the bench for the third straight game, with the latter two absences coming against left-handed pitching. Even though Kris Bryant (back) recently returned to the injured list to open up a regular spot in right field, Cave may not be on track to handle a strong-side platoon role as the Rockies give a longer look to rookie Jordan Beck. Cave has been serviceable against right-handed pitching this season (96 wRC+, .324 wOBA), but he's a 31-year-old on an expiring contract who is unlikely to be prioritized by the non-contending Rockies down the stretch.
AUGUST 21 • ROTOWIRE
Emerging as lineup regular Beck will start in right field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
Impact Beck will garner his seventh consecutive start Wednesday, with four coming against left-handed pitching and three coming versus righties. Though the left-handed-hitting Nolan Jones (back) returned from the injured list Sunday and should take back a strong-side platoon role in the corner outfield, Beck looks as though he could be prioritized over Sam Hilliard and Jake Cave at the other corner spot while Charlie Blackmon sees more time at designated hitter sans Kris Bryant (back). Beck has gone 6-for-19 with a 4:7 BB:K over his last six starts.
AUGUST 21 • ROTOWIRE
Getting another start Wednesday Romo will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's contest versus the Nationals.
Impact Romo didn't start the Rockies' first game after being called up last Friday, but he's now been in the lineup for three of four contests since then and tallied his first major-league hit in Tuesday's game. Jacob Stallings still seems likely to play plenty, but if he or Romo winds up distinguishing themselves as far as playing time goes, it will likely be the switch-hitting rookie.
AUGUST 21 • ROTOWIRE
Tallies first career hit Romo went 1-for-4 with three strikeouts Tuesday against the Nationals.
Impact Romo was called up to make his big-league debut Friday and has since made two starts. He collected his first big-league hit Tuesday, and he also notably was caught stealing. Romo had only three stolen bases with Triple-A Albuquerque prior to being recalled, but he did show an ability to steal bases in the lower levels of the minors. If he reintroduces stolen bases to his game at the big-league level, he could be an intriguing option in deeper leagues down the stretch.
AUGUST 21 • ROTOWIRE
Could be in line for save chances Kinley allowed one hit and struck out one in a scoreless eighth inning to earn a hold Tuesday against the Nationals.
Impact Kinley entered the game with a 3-1 lead and continued his solid run since the All-Star break. In 16 games -- spanning 16.2 frames -- he's maintained a 1.62 ERA and 0.78 WHIP to go along with an 18:5 K:BB. Notably, Victor Vodnik (shoulder) was unavailable Tuesday night, and Kinley would likely be next in line for save chances should Vodnik remain sidelined.
AUGUST 21 • ROTOWIRE
Dealing with shoulder soreness Vodnik experienced shoulder soreness while warming up to enter Tuesday's game against the Nationals, MLB.com reports.
Impact Vodnik was preparing to enter the game in the ninth inning with the Rockies leading 3-1 but could not pitch. After the game, manager Bud Black termed the decision as cautious and referenced Vodnik's recent workload. Angel Chivilli entered the game and earned his first career save, though Tyler Kinley had already pitched the eighth inning and would likely be the top choice for save chances if Vodnik is forced to miss additional time.

Earns first career save Chivilli earned the save Tuesday, allowing one hit, one walk and striking out one over a scoreless ninth inning.
Impact Chivilli was summoned to protect a 3-1 lead in the ninth frame and earned his first major-league save on 19 pitches. While it appeared to be a surprising move, Thomas Harding of MLB.com later reported that primary closer Victor Vodnik was experiencing shoulder soreness Tuesday. The rookie owns 4.70 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 10:3 K:BB across 15.1 innings and could see more save chances depending on the severity of Vodnik's injury.

AUGUST 21 • KANSASCITY.COM
Goes seven innings in win Gomber (4-8) earned the win against the Nationals on Tuesday, allowing one run on three hits and two walks with five strikeouts over seven innings.
Impact The only blemish on Gomber's line was a solo home run by CJ Abrams in the sixth inning. The southpaw generated a solid 13 swinging strikes on 96 pitches and logged his third quality start in four August chances. On the season, he owns a 4.64 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 94:32 K:BB across 132 innings and lines up for a tough matchup with the Yankees this weekend.
