Availability
Victor Vodnik (elbow) has been reinstated from the 15-day injured list by the Colorado Rockies. In a corresponding move, Eiberson Castellano was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque.
Fantasy Impact
Vodnik missed nearly a month of action, last appearing in a game on May 18 against the Rangers. The righthander struggled prior to his stint on the IL, going 1-2 with an 8.00 ERA, a 2.11 WHIP, and a 16:13 K:BB ratio in 18 innings. He pitched two scoreless innings during his rehab stint at Triple-A Albuquerque, walking one and striking out four. He'll have an opportunity to compete for saves again with the Rockies.
Victor Vodnik is scheduled for two one-inning rehab games for Triple-A Albuquerque next week.
Fantasy Impact
While it’s unclear which days Vodnik will pitch, he is set to begin a minor league rehab assignment after a successful simulated game on Saturday. He owns an 8.00 ERA and 2.11 WHIP across 18 innings this season and will likely need to earn his spot as closer when he returns.
Victor Vodnik is scheduled to throw a live batting practice session on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
Vodnik will take the next step in his throwing program on Saturday, when he will face live hitters. If all goes well, he is expected to begin a minor league rehab assignment next week.
Victor Vodnik is scheduled to throw a bullpen session during the Colorado Rockies’ three-game road trip to Anaheim, which begins on Monday.
Fantasy Impact
Vodnik’s last bullpen session came on Saturday, when he was able to reach 95 mph. If his next bullpen session goes well, he is expected to progress to a live batting practice session. Given his current trajectory, he could be activated from the injured list sometime in June.
Victor Vodnik threw a bullpen session on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
Vodnik, who has been sidelined since May 20 due to right ulnar nerve inflammation, threw his second bullpen session on Saturday since suffering the injury. His first bullpen was more of a "touch-and-feel" session, while the second was closer to a normal workout. Vodnik has progressed to throwing and fielding drills, an encouraging sign that his recovery is moving in the right direction. However, he remains without a timetable for return.
