Rockies optioned LHPs Carson Palmquist, Luis Peralta and Welinton Herrera, RHP Gabriel Hughes and OF Sterlin Thompson to Triple-A Albuquerque.
Palmquist, 25, appeared in nine games for the Rockies in 2025 where he compiled an uninspiring 8.91 ERA and 2.04 WHIP across 34 1/3 innings. Given the Rockies’ overall lack of pitching depth, he’ll probably get another shot at the big league level at some point during the 2026 season.
