Rockies Promote Prospect TJ Shook to Majors, Worth a Look as Potential Saves Source?
The Colorado Rockies promoted right-handed pitching prospect TJ Shook to the majors on Monday, per Milb Central. Shook has pitched well so far this season across 28 1/3 innings (22 games) with Triple-A Albuquerque, recording a 2.86 ERA and 1.09 WHIP with 29 strikeouts and seven saves. A 28-year-old who began his professional career in the Milwaukee Brewers' farm system in 2021, Shook has recorded 19 minor-league saves since transitioning to the bullpen during the 2024 season. The Rockies have utilized right-hander Antonio Senzatela as their primary ninth-inning option in recent weeks, but Senzatela owns just three career saves and has recorded an uninspiring 13.7% K-BB rate in 2026. If Shook proves himself to be a reliable option at the MLB level, he could emerge as a saves option worth targeting on the waiver wire for deep-league fantasy managers.
