Throughout the course of the last three seasons, the 26-year-old Hoffman has appeared in 37 games, including 23 starts, for the Colorado Rockies. After being acquired by the Rockies from the Toronto Blue Jays in the Troy Tulowitzki trade, there have always been high expectations for what the former first-round pick could bring to Colorado.
Jeff Hoffman earned 16 starts for the Rockies in 2017 but gave up 15 home runs and walked 40 batters in 99.1 innings of work. Last season, the right-hander started just once as Colorado’s rotation was solid and injury-free.
