The Colorado Rockies will recall right-handed reliever Edgmer Escalona to take the roster spot of Ubaldo Jimenez. Escalona, who pitched one scoreless inning for the Rockies on July 1, is 3-1 with a 3.18 ERA in 34 appearances at Triple-A Colorado Springs.

Escalona will join the bullpen with Esmil Rogers likely taking Jimenez’s spot in the rotation.

    Escalona to bullpen, probably Rogers to rotation.

    Not very inspiring post Ubaldo.
