Chase Dollander Leaves Early On Wednesday With Blister Issue
Chase Dollander (finger) left his start early on Wednesday against the visiting Atlanta Braves at Coors Field with an apparent blister on his finger, according to The Denver Post's Patrick Saunders. Dollander was pulled with two runners on and two outs in the six inning with the Rockies up 2-1. Colorado ended up pulling out the win 2-1, which allowed Dollander to pick up his second big-league win while allowing one earned run on two hits while walking three and striking out four in 5 2/3 innings. The 23-year-old came into his fifth big-league start with a rough 7.91 ERA and 1.71 WHIP with a league-high eight home runs allowed, so this was a big step for the young pitcher, albeit against a struggling team. However, he could now be looking at missing his next start, which is tentatively scheduled for next week against the Detroit Tigers. UPDATE: Manager Bud Black said Dollander was pulled with a cracked fingernail that split and was bleeding.
