Rockies Promote Ryan Rolison, Transfer Kris Bryant To 60-Day IL

The Colorado Rockies have promoted pitcher Ryan Rolison from Triple-A Albuquerque, marking his MLB debut. Rolison, a former Ole Miss standout and 2018 first-round draft pick, transitioned to a relief role in 2024 after recovering from shoulder surgery that sidelined him for much of 2022 and 2023. He has performed well in the Pacific Coast League this season, posting a 3.72 ERA and 23 strikeouts over 19.1 innings in 12 appearances. To make roster space for Rolison, the Rockies transferred Kris Bryant to the 60-day injured list following his recent back ablation surgery, with Bryant likely sidelined through at least June. Additionally, the Rockies recalled right-hander Anthony Molina and optioned Bradley Blalock and Juan Mejia to Triple-A. Rolison is the latest former Ole Miss player to reach the majors, joining a growing list of Rebels in MLB.
