Drew Pomeranz - S - Rockies

Drew Pomeranz is expected to open the season in the Triple-A rotation following the Rockies' addition of Jon Garland.

Pomeranz has shown good velocity this spring, but he's put up a 5.50 ERA and the Rockies want to see him work on some things in the minors. The odds are pretty good that he'll wind up spending a good chunk of the year in the major league rotation.

According to Troy Renck of the Denver Post, Drew Pomeranz is the leading candidate to secure the fifth spot in the Rockies' Opening Day rotation.

The young lefty has struggled this spring, posting a 5.50 ERA, 1.94 WHIP and 13/7 K/BB ratio over his 18 innings, but he remains the best option that the team has. His fantasy value is extremely limited while pitching half of his games at Coors Field, but he could be a useful source of strikeouts in NL-only formats when skimmed for his road starts.

Drew Pomeranz yielded three runs on 10 hits and two walks over five innings Thursday against the Giants.

Pomeranz did strike out four, but he obviously allowed way too many baserunners. The left-hander has shown good velocity this spring, but he's posted an uninspiring 5.50 ERA and 1.94 WHIP over 18 Cactus League innings.

Drew Pomeranz yielded two earned runs in four innings Monday as the Rockies fell to the White Sox.

Pomeranz surrendered four hits and issued two walks. He is now 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA in this year's Cactus League. The young left-hander still carries good long-term potential, but he can go undrafted in most mixed fantasy leagues this season.

Drew Pomeranz held USA to one run over 2 2/3 innings in Wednesday's exhibition contest.

Pomeranz allowed three hits and two walks while striking out one. More impressively, the left-hander's fastball reportedly touched 96 mph. Pomeranz was up-and-down during his first full season, but the 24-year-old holds some fantasy appeal as a late-round flier.

Drew Pomeranz - S - Rockies

Drew Pomeranz surrendered two runs and three hits in five innings Monday in a no-decision against the Diamondbacks.

Aaron Hill and Gerardo Parra homered off him, giving Pomeranz 14 homers allowed in 96 2/3 innings. Still, he managed to avoid falling to 2-10 for the year. He'll probably have to compete for a rotation spot next spring, but he could be a nice sleeper as a $1 pick.

Drew Pomeranz pitched three-hit ball for five innings and combined with two relievers on a shutout of the Cubs on Wednesday.

Pomeranz won for just the second time in 21 starts this season. We'll never know whether the Rockies' unusual rotation choice has stunted his growth, but there's still plenty of talent here. Someday people are going to wonder why he averaged just 4 1/3 innings per start this year.

Drew Pomeranz - S - Rockies

Drew Pomeranz was hammered in a no-decision against the Diamondbacks on Friday, allowing four runs on four hits in just three innings of work.

Pomeranz also struggled with his command, issuing five walks while punching out four. Miguel Montero smashed a two-run double, highlighting a three-run third inning where most of the damage was done. The jewel of last season's Ubaldo Jimenez trade, Pomeranz has struggled to gain any traction in the Rockies rotation, posting a hideous 1-9 record and 5.30 ERA through his first 20 starts. He'll look for better results when he takes on the Cubs at home on Wednesday.

Drew Pomeranz lasted just three innings Tuesday but didn't allow any runs in a 6-0 win over the Braves.

Pomeranz yielded five hits and a walk while striking out a pair, needing 72 pitches to cover his three frames. Carlos Torres came on after him and also threw three shutout innings to pick up the win. Pomeranz will carry a 4.93 ERA and 1.46 WHIP into Philly this weekend.

Drew Pomeranz - S - Rockies

True to form, Drew Pomeranz could make it only four innings in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Marlins, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and four walks.

Pomeranz struck out three and served up a solo home run to John Buck in the no-decision. Hampered by Colorado's absurd 75-pitch limit and his own ineffectiveness, Pomeranz has failed to record more than 12 outs in any of his past four starts. Even against the hapless Cubs, he won't be worth streaming in Wrigley Field on Friday.

Drew Pomeranz - S - Rockies

The Rockies could skip every other one of Drew Pomeranz's turns in the rotation down the stretch in order to limit his innings.

Pomeranz's chest/biceps injury doesn't appear to be much of an issue anymore, but the Rockies want to limit the young left-hander's innings. Jhoulys Chacin will rejoin the rotation early next week, but the Rockies will stay with what sounds like a modified four-man rotation.

Drew Pomeranz - S - Rockies

Drew Pomeranz has been scratched from Wednesday's start due to soreness in his chest, not because of biceps soreness as originally reported.

It sounds minor and not something that will send him to the disabled list. The Rockies are expected to recall Guillermo Moscoso to start Wednesday in Pomeranz's place.

Drew Pomeranz was scratched from Wednesday's start against the Brewers.

Pomeranz was reportedly dealing with left biceps soreness, but it doesn't appear to be all that serious as he's tentatively lined up to make his next start Saturday. Guillermo Moscoso was scratched from his start at Triple-A Colorado Springs on Monday and is a candidate to start in his place Wednesday.

Drew Pomeranz - S - Rockies

Drew Pomeranz could have Wednesday's scheduled start pushed back due to left biceps soreness.

Pomeranz evidently dealt with the issue during his last outing when he was knocked around for four runs over just four innings against the Giants. It's not clear at this point if a stint on the DL is possible. Guillermo Moscoso was scratched from his start at Triple-A Colorado Springs Monday and could get the ball Wednesday.
