Sun Sep 15 01:30:14 UTC 2024: ## Rockies Set to Activate Senzatela for Season Debut

**DENVER, CO -** The Colorado Rockies are set to activate right-hander Antonio Senzatela from the 60-day injured list for his season debut on Monday, September 16th, against the Arizona Diamondbacks, according to MLB.com.

Senzatela, who has spent all eight of his MLB seasons with the Rockies, returns after missing most of the 2023 season due to an elbow sprain and subsequent Tommy John surgery. The 29-year-old righty had been a reliable starter for the Rockies prior to his injuries, particularly in 2020 when he posted a 3.44 ERA in 12 starts.

The Rockies are hoping Senzatela’s return will help stabilize their pitching staff, which has been a major weakness this season. The team has struggled to find consistent pitching results in recent years, and Senzatela’s ability to generate ground balls and limit walks could be a valuable asset at Coors Field, where the thin air often inflates offensive numbers.

Senzatela’s return comes at a time when the Rockies are also reportedly considering trading some of their other starting pitchers, including Cal Quantrill and Austin Gomber, to address other roster needs. The team is currently on pace for its second consecutive 100-loss season, and they may look to rebuild their pitching staff in the offseason.

For now, however, the Rockies are focused on getting Senzatela back into the swing of things and hoping he can contribute to a strong finish to the season.
