Rockies Call Up Pitcher Mark Manfredi

The Colorado Rockies will select the contract of left-handed pitcher Mark Manfredi, as reported by ESPN. This decision comes as the team has three openings on its 40-man roster, requiring only a corresponding move to make room for Manfredi.

At 26 years old, this will be Manfredi's debut in the major leagues. He was drafted in the ninth round by the Milwaukee Brewers in 2023 and was recently traded to the Rockies in exchange for Antonio Senzatela. Since 2025, he has primarily served as a reliever, accumulating a 4.09 earned run average over 50 2/3 innings in Triple-A this season, with a notable 34.1% strikeout rate, although he has also issued 28 walks.

Manfredi is currently ranked as the 46th prospect in the Rockies' system, with his fastball being highlighted as his strongest pitch, consistently reaching speeds between 93-97 mph. The Rockies' bullpen has limited experience, providing Manfredi an opportunity to establish himself, although his control remains a concern. He may be moved between the majors and Triple-A as he adjusts to the higher level of competition.
