29 Shane Carle RP

Carle was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

The 26-year-old righty has pitched one inning in the big leagues this year, so this won't technically be his big-league debut, but he is very green. He logged a 5.37 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 50 strikeouts in 62 innings in the Pacific Coast League this year. Look for him to work in low-leverage spots.

Carle was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Carle wound up being the roster casualty as a result of Jake McGee's return from the disabled list. The 25-year-old didn't make an appearance during this cup of coffee with Colorado, although he very well could make a return trip to LoDo once rosters expand in September.

Carle was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

Carle ended up making his major-league debut during his four-day stint with the big club, striking out one in a scoreless inning against San Francisco. He figures to ride the shuttle throughout most of the season, providing a fresh arm occasionally when the bullpen has been taxed.

Carle was recalled by the Rockies on Friday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Carle will fill a spot in the bullpen with Jon Gray (toe) going on the 10-day disabled list. Depending on Gray's timetable, the Rockies could choose to go with a four-man rotation until his return and use Carle as an extra reliever. But if the Rockies need to call up another starter, Carle's time in the majors could be short-lived.

Carle was optioned to minor league camp Friday, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.

The right-hander did little to improve his stock during his time in big-league camp, allowing five runs on nine hits and two walks in just 4.1 innings in the Cactus League. Carle worked primarily out of the bullpen over the final month last season and that's probably where he will remain moving forward.
