Lamet, Padres look to bounce back against Rockies

DENVER — Antonio Senzatela will return to the Colorado Rockies’ rotation Tuesday after a brief stay in the bullpen designed to give him a breather and limit the innings in his rookie season.

The 22-year-old right-hander will be seeking to continue his success against the San Diego Padres, who will start rookie right-hander Dinelson Lamet on his 25th birthday.

Senzatela’s start will be his first for Colorado since June 22. At that point, Senzatela had 88 1/3 innings in 15 starts. Because Senzatela threw just 34 2/3 innings last year at Double-A Hartford when he was twice sidelined due to shoulder inflammation, the Rockies want to limit the right-hander’s innings this season.
