Rockies' Gavin Hollowell: Snags first career save
Rotowire
Hollowell earned a save in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Giants, allowing two runs on two hits and one walk while striking out two batters over 2.2 innings.
Hollowell took over with one out and two runners on base with Colorado leading 7-3 in the seventh. He induced an inning-ending double play, and the Rockies opted to ride him the rest of the way rather than call upon other bullpen arms with the nightcap looming. Hollowell surrendered a run in the eighth and another in the ninth but had a nice cushion to work with and cruised to his first career save. He's posted a 25:15 K:BB over 26.2 frames and has been used as more of a low-leverage option this season, so it's unlikely that he sees many more save chances down the stretch.

Rockies' Gavin Hollowell: Returns from minor-league IL
Rotowire
Hollowell (forearm) has struck out four while allowing one hit and two walks over two scoreless innings in his two appearances since being activated from Triple-A Albuquerque's 7-day injured list May 16.
Hollowell missed the first month and a half of the season while recovering from right forearm tightness. The 25-year-old retains a spot on the Rockies' 40-man roster and has prior experience in the big leagues, so he could emerge as a candidate for a promotion to the Colorado bullpen if he can continue to string together quality appearances with Albuquerque.

Rockies' Gavin Hollowell: Shut down with forearm tightness
Rotowire
Triple-A Albuquerque placed Hollowell on its 10-day injured list Sunday due to right forearm tightness, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.
Hollowell was the final reliever the Rockies cut prior to Opening Day, and the right-hander looks like he'll have to wait a little longer for a call-up to the big-league bullpen now that he's tending to an injury. The 25-year-old previously appeared in six games for the Rockies in 2022, logging a 7.71 ERA and 1.57 WHIP over seven innings.
