The Rockies optioned Molina to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.
Molina appeared in two spring training games for the Rockies and allowed four earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out three over three innings. He'll start the 2025 campaign in the minors, and he'll look to perform well enough to get a call-up to the majors should the Rockies need another arm out of the bullpen. Molina posted a 6.75 ERA and 1.58 WHIP across 59.2 innings for Colorado during the 2024 regular season.

He's maxed out at 3.2 innings in an outing, so this will now be a bullpen day for Colorado.

Molina was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Rays on Thursday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
Molina struggled this spring, which isn't a surprise considering he's 21 and hasn't pitched above A-ball. He did finish 2022 strong at High-A Bowling Green and figures to begin 2023 at Double-A Montgomery.
