DENVER -- The Rockies recalled six players from Triple-A Albuquerque in their first round of September promotions.
Pitchers Jeff Hoffman, Carlos Estevez and Zac Rosscup, catcher Tom Murphy, infielder Ryan McMahon and outfielder Mike Tauchman received callups as rosters expanded Friday. The Rockies now possess a 16-man pitching staff and 15 position players.
"It depends on the game, how each of these guys will be used," Rockies manager Bud Black said. "But they're here to help us win a game. Each and every night there might be an opportunity for one of these six guys to help contribute to a Rockies win.
