Throws bullpen Friday Stephenson (illness) has rejoined the Rockies and threw a bullpen Friday, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.
Impact Stephenson hasn't yet been activated from the COVID-19 injured list, but it's certainly encouraging that he's now back with the team after testing positive for the virus prior to the regular season. It's not yet clear whether the right-hander will be activated prior to Friday's matchup against the Cubs, but his return appears to be imminent.

Gets $1.28M deal for 2022 Stephenson and the Rockies agreed Tuesday on a one-year, $1.28 million contract to avoid arbitration, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Impact The 29-year-old righty was one of the Rockies' more dependable middle relievers in 2021, turning in a 3.13 ERA and 1.30 WHIP while striking out 52 over 46 innings. He could pick up more setup work after logging only four holds a season ago, but he'll likely enter 2022 behind all of Alex Colome, Carlos Estevez and Daniel Bard in the pecking order for saves.

Picks up save Stephenson worked a hitless inning with two strikeouts, picking up the save in Wednesday's 3-2 win over Atlanta.
Impact In his first appearance since being reinstated from the paternity list, Stephenson fired a fantastic inning of work to secure his first save of the season. Though he did plunk Adam Duvall (maybe leave that part out of the bedtime stories), he got Austin Riley and Travis d'Arnaud swinging before getting Dansby Swanson to fly out to end the game. Not a bad welcome to the world present for the newest addition to the Stephenson family.
