Chase Dollander Throws Live Batting Practice
Chase Dollander (forearm) threw live batting practice on May 27. Interim manager Warren Schaeffer noted that the session "looked good." The top prospect in the Colorado system hit the 15-day injured list on May 22 due to right forearm tightness. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status. However, it is positive to see the right-hander already face live hitters. Through his first 38 2/3 innings in the majors, Dollander struggled as he posted a 6.28 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP. During this stint, Dollander struck out 38 batters but struggled to command his pitches as he allowed walks at a hefty 10.5% rate. However, through 52 career frames split between Double-A and Triple-A, he holds a strong 2.25 ERA with a 1.17 WHIP. When he returns from the injured list, he will likely have a spot in the starting rotation and will hold value in deeper leagues.
