Chase Dollander realized his dream by making his big-league debut this season, but he didn’t have a dream season.
A learning experience is more like it.
Manager Warren Schaeffer said that Dollander will go on the 15-day injured list on Saturday with a patellar tendon strain in his left knee, ending his season.
The Rockies’ rookie right-hander made 21 starts, had a 2-12 record, posted a 6.52 ERA, and a 1.551 WHIP. He overcame a right forearm strain, was demoted to Triple-A Albuquerque, and then returned to the Rockies.
Dollander thrived on the road and struggled at Coors Field.
