DENVER (AP) -The Colorado Rockies put right-handed pitcher Josh Fogg on the 15-day disabled list Monday because of a strained left groin.
Colorado called up righty Ryan Speier from Triple-A Colorado Springs.
Fogg was injured while running to first base on a bunt attempt in his start last Tuesday in Arizona. The move is retroactive to May 23.
Fogg is 1-5 this season with a 4.53 ERA in 10 appearances.
“We don’t feel the pitching is a problem,” manager Clint Hurdle said. “But the complications that can come from moving off the mound, we felt liked we’d error on the side of caution.”
The Rockies called up the 27-year-old Speier for the second time this season. He was with the team from April 21-28 and had a 15.43 ERA in three appearances.
Speier had 12 saves and a 2.60 ERA with Colorado Springs this season. With Manny Corpas out of town until Wednesday to attend a funeral, Hurdle said Speier’s role is undefined.
“We have Speier up here to provide bullpen insurance,” Hurdle said. “We didn’t want to be caught short, just in case. Speier has been on a very nice role in Colorado Springs.”
