Rockies call up Hilliard, Santos, Rosscup and Bowden due to COVID contact tracing protocols

The Colorado Rockies have welcomed four players from Triple-A this evening—but not exactly by design.

The Rockies announced today that RHP Yency Almonte, RHP Jhoulys Chacín, OF Yonathan Daza and RHP Antonio Senzatela have been placed on the IL, per MLB’s COVID and contact tracing protocols.

Antonio Senzatela was originally scheduled to start against the Dodgers tonight, but he is inactive as are pitchers Yency Almonte and Jhoulys Chacín, and outfielder Yonathan Daza. Colorado will instead send Chi Chi González to the mound on short notice, and without the standard long-relief safety net of Chacín.
