The Rockies bullpen, which ranks first in the National League with a 2.40 ERA, may have another closer Friday when Colorado opens a three-game series at Dodger Stadium.

Franklin Morales has handled the closing duties all season in the absence of Huston Street, who is on the disabled list due to right shoulder inflammation but could begin a rehab assignment next week. In a ninth-inning save situation against the Dodgers, it’s very possible the Rockies will turn to Manuel Corpas to close out the game.

“We’ll talk about it more on Friday,” manager Jim Tracy said after the Rockies beat the Padres 6-5 in 12 innings Wednesday, a game in which Morales again had control trouble and Corpas rescued him. View full post on Yahoo! Sports – MLB – Colorado Rockies News
