Ubaldo Jimenez Not Included On Initial Roster
4 years agoThe Colorado Rockies camp roster currently sits at 52 players and can include up to 60, but starting pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez is a noteworthy absence. It does include top pitching prospect Ryan Rolison, who is the team's No. 2 prospect, per MLB Pipeline. Jimenez could be added to the camp roster at a later time, but the 36-year-old Dominican right-hander is a long shot to make any fantasy noise during the shortened 2020 season. He hasn't made an appearance in a big league game since 2017 with the Orioles, when he went 6-11 with a 6.81 ERA and 1.59 WHIP in 142 2/3 innings. Rolison hasn't pitched above Single-A in the minors, so his inclusion is likely just for developmental purposes.
