The Rockies have outrighted right-hander John Curtiss to Triple-A Albuquerque after he cleared waivers, following his recent designation for assignment.

By the Numbers
  • Curtiss, 31, pitched 21 1/3 innings in the Pacific Coast League with a 6.75 ERA.
  • His walk rate was 7.1%, and he only struck out 18.2% of batters faced.
  • He had an unfortunate 57.8% strand rate during his time in the minors.
Yes, But

Curtiss had a rough outing in his recent MLB appearance, allowing multiple runs and recording only one out, leading to an ERA of 54.00.

State of Play
  • Rockies called up Curtiss due to pitching needs after extra-inning games but designated him for assignment following poor performance.
  • Curtiss, with previous successful seasons before injury, may choose free agency despite the outright assignment to re-establish himself.
What's Next

With mounting injuries in pitching staffs across MLB, Curtiss might seek opportunities with other clubs to revive his career.

Bottom Line

John Curtiss, after being outrighted by the Rockies, faces a crucial decision on whether to pursue free agency to reignite his career amidst challenging circumstances.
