Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Mike Dunn is making his way back from the disabled list once again. Dunn has been sidelined since early July with an inflamed AC joint, his second DL-worthy injury of the season. Dunn is slated to begin a minor league rehab assignment next week, but he probably won't sniff the big leagues again until rosters open up on September 1. Dunn is one of a host of disappointing bullpen members the Rockies have had this season, but the hope is that the extended time off will allow Dunn to recapture his magic and come back with a vengeance in September while the team is in the thick of a playoff hunt.
Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Mike Dunn is scheduled to receive a platelet-rich injection on Thursday in hopes of helping his inflamed AC joint. The injury was suffered almost immediately upon his return from the disabled list in late June, and he told reporters that the injection is really the best bet for him to get the opportunity to pitch again this season. Dunn has been one of a host of disappointments in Colorado's bullpen this season, though his issues have been more injury-related than most. A fantasy owner would need to be truly desperate to take a flier on a member of the Rockies bullpen suffering from a shoulder injury.
The Colorado Rockies activated relief pitcher Mike Dunn from the disabled list after he finished a rehab assignment for his strained upper back. Dunn hasn't been very good this season, but compared to those who stepped in while he was out, he looks like a star. Ignoring three terrible outings that happened right before he got placed on the DL, Dunn has carried a poor 5.74 ERA this season, but when Jeff Hoffman replaced him, Hoffman was saddled with a 10.13 ERA in five appearances. Dunn's still a middle reliever in Colorado and thus probably not worth owning in the vast majority of leagues, but with the bullpen in a shambles, he could be a surprise late-inning guy if he can pitch well at all.
Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Mike Dunn(back) told reporters on Thursday that he's scheduled to begin his minor league rehab assignment on Saturday with Triple-A Albuquerque. Dunn has been sidelined with a back injury since early June, but he looks like he should be able to return to the Rockies next week if everything goes well. With the bullpen in shambles, even Dunn and his 9.00 ERA are a welcome return.
Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Mike Dunn (back) threw a 20-pitch bullpen session on Wednesday. It reportedly went very well, so Dunn could begin a rehab assignment soon. Assuming no setbacks, Dunn could rejoin the Rockies bullpen by the end of June. However, his 9.00 ERA makes him hard to own in any fantasy format. He should be left on the waiver wire in all leagues.
Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Mike Dunn (shoulder) has been placed on the 10-day disabled list on Friday. The team is calling the injury a left rhomboid strain, and it's something that has bothered Dunn for multiple weeks. It's unclear how long Dunn is going to be on the shelf for at this time. He's been bad this season, so just leave him on the waiver wire.
Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Mike Dunn has been placed on the 10-day disabled list with a left rhomboid strain. Dunn has been terrible this season, and apparently he's been having some back issues for a couple of weeks. He reportedly had bulging disks last year, so he's scheduled to have an MRI on Friday to determine if the condition has worsened. Jeff Hoffman is being called up to replace him.
The Colorado Rockies bullpen has been anything but dependable, and reliever Mike Dunn is one of the major culprits behind the bullpen's horrendous overall ERA. Dunn fell apart once again on Thursday by allowing two runs on two walks and a hit while recording zero outs. This makes the second outing in the last five days in which Dunn has failed to record an out while allowing multiple runs. His ERA now stands at 9.00 for the season, and he certainly should not be owned in any fantasy leagues.
