The Colorado Rockies faced a setback with their closer, Seth Halvorsen, injuring his elbow in a game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Halvorsen, who leads the team with 11 saves, exited after throwing just five pitches in the ninth inning, raising concerns about the severity of his injury. Interim manager Warren Schaeffer indicated that the initial prognosis is not promising, which could significantly impact the Rockies' bullpen, especially with Halvorsen having converted nine of his last ten save opportunities. The Rockies have struggled this season, now standing at 30-80, and with the possibility of breaking the modern era record for losses looming, Halvorsen's injury could further complicate their efforts to improve their record.
