DENVER — The Colorado Rockies<\/a>‘ win over Pittsburgh<\/a> on Saturday was dampened with an elbow injury to closer Seth Halvorsen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The hard-throwing right-hander left after tossing five pitches in the ninth inning, and the initial outlook isn’t encouraging.<\/p>\n

“It don’t look good,” interim manager Warren Schaeffer said. “I’ll let you know (Sunday).”<\/p>\n

Halvorsen, who leads the Rockies with 11 saves, was facing Pirates pinch hitter Spencer Horwitz<\/a> to open the ninth and Colorado leading 8-4. He was ahead 0-2 in the count and then threw three straight balls, the last one at 99 mph.<\/p>\n

Immediately after that pitch he bent over and dangled his right arm, prompting Rockies head athletic trainer Keith Duggar to jog to the mound to check on him. After a brief discussion Halvorsen left the game, with Dugan Darnell<\/a> coming on to finish the 8-5 win.<\/p>\n

Schaeffer said Halvorsen wasn’t experiencing problems entering Saturday’s game.<\/p>\n

“Not recently, but he was feeling something a while back, but he’s been good for a while,” Schaeffer said.<\/p>\n

Halvorsen has been Colorado’s main closer since the beginning of June and had converted nine of his last 10 opportunities, including his last six.<\/p>\n

Three of those have come after the All-Star break, which has helped the Rockies post a 7-6 record. Colorado, which is 30-80, is trying to avoid setting a modern era record for losses set by the 2024 Chicago White Sox<\/a>, who were 41-121.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DENVER — The Colorado Rockies‘ win over Pittsburgh on Saturday was dampened with an elbow injury to closer…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":42242,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,462,82],"class_list":["post-42241","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42241","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42241"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42241\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42242"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42241"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42241"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42241"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
