Welcome back, Antonio Senzatela.
There couldn’t be a better time for the Rockies starter to make his seventh season debut.
After tearing his ACL on Aug. 18, he had surgery, rehabbed, and will be back on the hill tonight, 261 days later, for the Rockies as they begin a three-game series against the New York Mets at Citi Field.
Senzatela debuted in 2017 and has made 117 starts since (as well as 26 relief appearances in 2017 and ’18), putting up a 39-42 record and a 4.88 ERA in 672 innings.
He’s much needed at the moment when the Rockies starting rotation is a shell of what it was on Opening Day.
