The first news is not encouraging.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;It doesn&#8217;t look good,&#8221; commented interim manager Warren Schaeffer. &#8220;I will inform them (on Sunday).&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<cite>Warren Schaeffer<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nHalvorsen, who leads the Rockies with 11 saves, was facing Pirates pinch-hitter Spencer Horwitz at the start of the ninth inning, with Colorado up 8-4 on the scoreboard. The pitcher was 0-2 in the count before throwing three consecutive balls, the last at 99 mph.\n\nImmediately after that pitch, Halvorsen bent over and grabbed his right arm, forcing the Rockies&#8217; head athletic trainer, Keith Duggar, to run to the mound to check on him. After a brief conversation, Halvorsen left the game, being replaced by Dugan Darnell, who finished the 8-5 victory.\n\nSchaeffer indicated that Halvorsen had not reported any problems before Saturday&#8217;s game.\n\nHalvorsen has been Colorado&#8217;s primary closer since the beginning of June and had converted nine of his last 10 opportunities, including his last six attempts.\n\nThree of those saves came after the All-Star break, which has helped the Rockies post a 7-6 record. Colorado, which has a 30-80 record, is trying to avoid setting a modern-era losing record, currently held by the 2024 Chicago White Sox, who finished 41-121.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Concern in Colorado: Seth Halvorsen Injured The Colorado Rockies&#8217; victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday was marred by an elbow injury to their closer, Seth Halvorsen.
