RHP Christian Bergman (strained left oblique) was reinstated from the disabled list and optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque. Bergman, who last pitched for the Rockies on May 19, had made three rehab starts for Albuquerque and took the mound again for that team Saturday night.

They could have brought him back in the long relief role he filled before being injured but have Jordan Lyles in that role and decided to leave him there and have Bergman continue to start.

RHP Christian Bergman (left oblique strain) was scheduled to make his fourth rehab start for Triple-A Albuquerque Saturday.

RHP Christian Bergman (strained left oblique) is scheduled to make his fourth rehab start for Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday. Bergman threw 77 pitches in four innings in his last start Monday and 76 pitches in five innings in the start before that June 28. Bergman began his rehab assignment June 23. Since a rehab assignment for a pitcher can last 30 days -- it can be halted if the pitcher suffers a setback -- Bergman's could continue through July 22. He pitched in long relief for the Rockies, and his last outing for them was May 19. The Rockies have built up Bergman's pitch count on his rehab assignment, so he represents starting pitching depth at this point, something will be lost if goes back to pitching long relief where the work isn't as predictable and his pitch count, and hence his durability, will drop.

RHP Christian Bergman (strained left oblique) made his second rehab start for Triple-A Albuquerque and allowed four hits, three runs and two walks in five innings with six strikeouts.

If the Rockies go that route, Bergman will soon lose the arm strength needed to start.
