Optioned to Triple-AMujica was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

ImpactThe 24-year-old made his major-league debut last season, surrendering six runs on 10 hits with two walks and one strikeout over 4.1 innings. Mujica will likely operate as a spot starter or low-leverage bullpen option if he receives a promotion this season.

Sent to Triple-ACastellani was optioned to Triple-A on Tuesday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

ImpactThe 24-year-old righty gave up seven earned runs in two frames this spring. He needed 61 pitches to get those six outs and did not record a strikeout. Castellani will serve as organizational rotation depth this season.

On track in Tommy John rehabLambert (elbow) has been regularly taking part in long-toss throwing off flat ground during spring training, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.

ImpactThe Rockies appear to be pleased with how Lambert is advancing through his throwing program as he makes his way back from the Tommy John surgery he required last July. He could be ready to begin mound work by the end of the spring, which would likely put him on track to make his return to game action at some point late in the second half of the season. Colorado will likely place Lambert on the 60-day injured list shortly before Opening Day.

Scores in spring lossBlackmon went 0-for-1 with a run and one walk in Monday's spring loss to the Dodgers.

ImpactBlackmon led off the bottom of the second inning Monday with a walk before he was brought in by a Sam Hilliard double to score the first run of the game. The 34-year-old has gone just 2-for-18 with two runs, two walks and three strikeouts over eight spring games this year, but he'll serve as the Rockies' primary right fielder in 2021.

Allows four runs in spring startMujica (0-1) allowed four runs on five hits and one walk while striking out one over 1.2 innings and was charged with the loss in Monday's spring game against the Dodgers.

ImpactMujica tossed one scoreless relief inning in his Cactus League debut, but his first start of the spring was less efficient. The righty faced most of the Dodgers' starters to begin Monday's game and allowed two runs in each of the first two frames. If Mujica makes the major-league roster to begin the 2021 campaign, he's likely to pitch in low-leverage situations.

Set for spring debutBellinger (shoulder) will bat fifth and play center field Tuesday against Milwaukee, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

ImpactBellinger has been brought along carefully as he works his way back from November shoulder surgery. He'll be getting his first spring action with slightly more than two weeks remaining before Opening Day, so he should still have time to get up to speed by the start of the regular season.

Bolstering bid for rotation spotGonsolin has pitched six scoreless innings over three outings this spring, allowing one hit and no walks while striking out seven.

ImpactGonsolin has been nearly perfect thus far in Cactus League play as he makes his case to be included in the Dodgers' starting rotation. The right-hander has posted a 2.60 ERA (3.02 FIP) and 0.92 WHIP through 86.2 big-league innings, which would guarantee him a starting role in almost any other big-league rotation. Los Angeles has a wealth of starting pitching talent, so Gonsolin could open the campaign in the bullpen. However, Juan Toribio of MLB.com notes that veteran starter David Price is being looked at as a multi-inning relief option, perhaps opening a door for Gonsolin to start.
