Jeff Francis (groin) will throw a bullpen session on Tuesday.
It will be the first time he's thrown from the bump since landing on the disabled list. Francis' groin isn't fully healed, but he shouldn't be out too much longer as long as he continues to progress. Whether he'll have a rotation spot once healthy remains to be seen.
May 20 - 8:59 PM
Source:
Rockies.mlb.com
Rockies placed LHP Jeff Francis on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 15, with a left groin strain.
It was reported previously that Francis tweaked his knee during Tuesday's start, but apparently his groin is the issue. Rob Scahill has taken his spot on the roster, but the Rockies have not announced who will take his spot in the rotation. Tyler Chatwood and Drew Pomeranz are the main options.
May 16 - 6:13 PM
Jeff Francis threw six innings, allowing just one run, as the Rockies beat the Cubs on Tuesday.
The start was a bright spot in what has otherwise been a largely disastrous 2013 campaign for the lefty. Francis had it going Tuesday, striking out seven batters while allowing only a Darwin Barney solo home run. Francis will look to make it two in a row in his next start Sunday against the Giants.
May 14 - 11:59 PM
Jeff Francis had to leave Tuesday's start against the Cubs early due to irritation in his right knee.
It figures that Francis would get hurt in his best start of the season, as he struck out seven over six innings of one-run ball. He had thrown just 80 pitches, so he likely had another inning or two in him. It's not clear at this point whether the ailment might affect his next start.

Michael Cuddyer
D.L.
Michael Cuddyer (neck) will play two games in extended spring training this week and is expected to be activated from the disabled list Friday.
Cuddyer will fly to Arizona on Monday night and play in games on Tuesday and Wednesday. Barring any setbacks, he should be ready to go as soon as he's eligible on Friday. The 34-year-old has been sidelined since May 8 with a bulging disc in his neck.

Rafael Betancourt
Sidelined
Rafael Betancourt (groin) will not require a trip to the disabled list.
Betancourt left Tuesday's game with a tight right groin, but it's merely some scar tissue from a previous injury. He was given anti-inflammatory medication and could be back in there as soon as Friday. Rex Brothers and Wilton Lopez could be in the mix for save chances until he's ready to go, but it doesn't sound like he'll have a lengthy absence.
