After entering in the ninth inning of a tie game on Thursday, Rafael Betancourt surrendered two runs and took the loss against Arizona.
It was the closer's first defeat of the season, as he falls to 1-1 with a 3.00 ERA and 1.13 WHIP. He has converted seven of eight save opportunities after nailing down only eight of 12 last year.
May 18 - 6:44 AM
Rafael Betancourt stayed perfect in save chances on the season, shutting down the Brewers in the ninth inning on Friday.
He had to pitch around a lead-off double to Mat Gamel, but was still able to get the job done. For years, he's been one of the truly elite relievers in the game, and is now finally getting that recognition now that he's excelling in the closer's role.
Apr 20 - 11:39 PM
Rafael Betancourt pitched around a Travis Buck double to lock down his first save of the season against the Astros on Friday.
Betancourt has always possessed tremendous stuff, but this is the first real shot he's had at a full-time closer's job. With Rex Brothers also capable of closing games, Betancourt needed to get off to a solid start to build his job security. This was a good step in that direction.
Apr 6 - 10:32 PM
According to ESPN's Enrique Rojas, the Rockies have reached a contract extension with Rafael Betancourt.
The new deal guarantees Betancourt his $4.25 million option for 2013 and tacks on a $4.25 million salary for 2014. He registered a sparkling 2.89 ERA and 73/8 K/BB ratio in 62 1/3 innings last season while serving primarily as a setup man. With Huston Street now out in San Diego, the 36-year-old Venezuelan right-hander will serve as Colorado's unchallenged closer in 2012.

Sidelined
Jonathan Herrera left Tuesday's game with right hamstring tightness.
It's not clear at this point if it's a day-to-day situation or perhaps something worse. Marco Scutaro replaced him at second base.

Hector Gomez
D.L.
Rockies placed INF Hector Gomez on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 26, with a groin strain.
Gomez was diagnosed with a strained right groin in early March and wasn't able to get back on track by the end of spring training. He was a longshot to make the Rockies' 25-man roster anyway and will likely be sent to the Triple-A level once he's healthy.

Chris Nelson
D.L.
Chris Nelson (wrist) went 0-for-3 Monday in his first rehab game with Triple-A Colorado Springs.
"I did hear he put two balls in play," Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. "He had two really good swings and put two balls in play very hard. Didn't necessarily get any results from it, but did OK from what I understand for the first day back." Nelson is eligible to return from the disabled list on May 31, and he'll probably be ready then if he doesn't have a setback.

Jhoulys Chacin
D.L.
Jhoulys Chacin (shoulder) has yet to resume throwing.
Chacin is still working on building up the strength in his shoulder and won't throw again until he sufficiently does so. The Rockies don't really consider him to be hurt, but there's something going on that's caused his decreased velocity, and the team hopes he'll get it back after some down time.

Jorge De La Rosa
D.L.
Updating a previous item, Jorge De La Rosa (elbow) has been formally pulled off his rehab assignment.
He'll get a new 30-day window. De La Rosa wasn't going to be ready for his June 2 return to the majors, and will have to reestablish his health before rejoining the Rockies. The 31-year-old left-hander is on his way back from Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery.
