Feltner (back) threw a bullpen session Sunday, MLB.com reports.
The right-hander reported reduced soreness in his back following the side session, but he's still expected to need a minor-league rehab assignment before returning from the 15-day injured list. The Rockies initially placed Feltner on the IL on May 2 after he experienced back spasms coming out of an April 28 start.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Placed on IL due to back spasms
Rotowire
The Rockies placed Feltner (back) on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to April 29.
Feltner had his last start pushed from Sunday to Monday against Atlanta due to a back issue. He took the loss in that outing after allowing five runs on a season-high 10 hits. He's eligible to be activated off the IL on May 14, but he'll undergo further tests to establish a concrete timeline for his return. The Rockies recalled Bradley Blalock from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Blasted for five runs
Rotowire
Feltner (0-2) took the loss against Atlanta on Monday, allowing five runs on 10 hits and one walk while striking out four batters over 4.2 innings.
Feltner was handed a three-run lead after half an inning, but he couldn't hold onto it. The righty did manage to make it through two scoreless frames, but Atlanta struck for two runs in the third inning and another in the fourth before Michael Harris chased Feltner with a two-out, two-run double in the fifth. All told, Feltner gave up a season-high 10 hits, and this was the second time in his past three appearances that he's yielded five runs. Feltner did have a bit of bad luck Monday -- five of Atlanta's 10 hits left the bat at less than 75 mph -- and he was at least able to grind through 95 pitches after having his start pushed back from Sunday due to back tightness.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Deals seven strong innings
Rotowire
Feltner allowed one run on three hits and a walk while striking out four over seven innings in Tuesday's loss to the Royals. He did not factor into the decision.
Feltner faced one over the minimum through five innings and was locked into a scoreless pitchers' duel with Kris Bubic. That ended in the bottom of the sixth when Drew Waters led off with a solo home run. Still, Feltner turned in his first start of seven innings since July 21 of last year and it was his second quality start in his last three outings. He'll aim to pick up his first win of the season in a home meeting against the Reds this weekend.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Rough night in Chavez Ravine
Rotowire
Feltner (0-1) took the loss Tuesday, coughing up five runs on five hits and six walks over 2.2 innings as the Rockies fell 6-2 to the Dodgers. He struck out one.
The big blow off Feltner was a three-run homer by Will Smith in the third inning, but the right-hander created his own problems with his difficulty getting the ball over the plate. He came into Tuesday having issued only four free passes in his first three starts, but Feltner tossed just 46 of 81 pitches for strikes in this trip to the mound before getting the hook. He'll take a 4.82 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 17:10 K:BB through 18.2 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come on the road early next week in Kansas City.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Escapes with no-decision
Rotowire
Feltner didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Athletics, giving up three runs (two earned) on eight hits and a walk while striking out four batters over five-plus innings.
Although the A's put a considerable numbers of runners on base against Feltner, the 28-year-old's only blemishes came on a first-inning RBI single from Tyler Soderstrom and a Jacob Wilson solo homer in the fourth. Feltner came out to start the sixth inning but was chased before recording an out after giving up a single followed by a double and a throwing error, which put the Athletics ahead 3-2. He remains in search of his first win of the season, and he'll have to wait until Milwaukee comes to town next week for his next opportunity.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Notches five Ks in no-decision
Rotowire
Feltner did not factor into the decision in Sunday's loss at Tampa Bay, pitching five innings while allowing two runs on four hits and one walk. He struck out five.
The Colorado right-hander allowed both runs on a homer to Brandon Lowe in the first inning but settled in after that, yielding just two hits over his next 4.1 innings. Feltner managed to generate a solid 13 whiffs across 83 total pitches, as his fastball averaged 94.2 mph, down slightly from 94.6 mph last season. Most importantly, after posting a 6.8 BB/9 in 14.2 spring innings, he issued just one free pass in this appearance. Feltner is currently slated to make his next start against the Athletics at home next weekend.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Makes second spring appearance
Rotowire
Feltner allowed one earned run on two hits and a walk while striking out two across 2.1 innings in Monday's Cactus League game against the Angels.
Feltner hasn't had particularly strong results this spring, allowing three earned runs across 4.1 innings. However, he and manager Bud Black have both dismissed the surface stats and instead been positive based on Feltner's ability to establish his fastball and repeat his delivery. Feltner closed the 2024 season with a 3.00 ERA across his last 60 innings, leading to relatively high expectations for the 2025 campaign.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Scoreless outing in finale
Rotowire
Feltner allowed two hits and two walks while striking out three over six scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Sunday.
Feltner received just one run of support, and the Rockies' bullpen couldn't hold the lead he passed along. He posted four quality starts in September and came just one out shy in his other outing on the month, ending the year on a positive note after he battled injuries in August. Feltner ends 2024 with a 4.49 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 138:52 K:BB over 162.1 innings across 30 starts, though he also had a poor 3-10 record in what was still his best major-league campaign to date.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Surrenders five runs in no-decision
Rotowire
Feltner did not factor into the decision in a win over the Orioles on Saturday, allowing five runs on six hits and one walk over 4.2 innings while striking out six.
Feltner kept Baltimore off the scoreboard through the first three innings before allowing a leadoff single to Gunnar Henderson in the fourth, followed by a three-run homer off the bat of Anthony Santander three batters later. The right-hander would also go on to cough up a leadoff shot in the fifth, marking the third time in his last six starts that he's given up multiple home runs. Feltner was charged with five runs in the contest, the most he's allowed since June 19 against the Dodgers (span of nine starts) and he's still looking for his first win in over four months. On a positive note, Feltner did generate 12 whiffs on the night while posting six or more strikeouts for the fifth time in his last eight outings.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Activated, will start Monday
Rotowire
The Rockies activated Feltner (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Monday.
Feltner is listed as the Rockies' probable starter for Monday's game at Coors Field against the Marlins after missing nearly three weeks with a right shoulder strain. The right-hander made one rehab start with Triple-A Albuquerque, allowing five runs (three earned) on four hits and two walks over 2.2 innings. He threw only 49 pitches in the outing, so Feltner's workload will likely be limited Monday.

Rotowire
Feltner allowed one run on four hits and four walks while striking out six over six innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Saturday.
Feltner pitched well, allowing a single run on a solo home run to Matt Chapman. He otherwise worked in and out of trouble in the no-decision. Feltner has looked good as of late, having tossed three quality starts in his last four outings. The 27-year-old's ERA currently sits at 4.99, dipping below 5.00 for the first time since his last win April 12.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Fans seven in no-decision
Rotowire
Feltner allowed four runs (all unearned) on two hits and one walk while striking out seven batters over 5.1 innings in a no-decision against St. Louis on Saturday.
Feltner held the Cardinals scoreless through five frames but ran into trouble when the first two batters reached base against him in the sixth. The right-hander responded by striking out Masyn Winn, but his defense then let him down with errors on each of the following two balls hit in play. That led to Feltner's departure and spoiled his chance at what could have been his first victory since April 12. Despite the disappointing finish, this was a much-needed bounce-back effort from Feltner after he allowed a combined 15 runs (13 earned) across 9.2 innings over his previous two starts.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Hit hard in loss
Rotowire
Feltner allowed seven runs (six earned) on eight hits and two walks while striking out one over 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Guardians on Tuesday.
Feltner finally had some struggles at Coors Field in his fourth home start of the campaign. Jose Ramirez tagged him for a two-run home run in the first inning and Josh Naylor added another two-run blast in the fifth. Feltner posted six scoreless innings against the Athletics in his previous start, but he took a step back Tuesday and continues to post poor numbers overall. He's at a 5.61 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 49:18 K:BB through 59.1 innings across 11 starts this season. He's projected to make his next start at home versus the Reds.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Good start wasted
Rotowire
Feltner allowed four hits and two walks while striking out six over six scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Thursday.
This was arguably Feltner's best start of the campaign, but it was all for nothing as six Rockies relievers all gave up at least one run. The Athletics rallied to erase three deficits before ultimately winning in the 11th inning. Feltner's winless skid is at seven games, and he remains 1-4 on the year with a 5.07 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 48:16 K:BB through 55 innings over 10 starts. He's projected to make his next start at home versus the Guardians.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Surrenders five runs in loss
Rotowire
Feltner (1-4) gave up five runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out two over four-plus innings to take the loss Friday versus the Giants.
This is the fifth time in nine starts Feltner has allowed at least four runs. The Rockies got off to a good start, but the right-hander gave it all back when he was tagged for a three-run home run by Thairo Estrada in the fifth inning. Feltner is now at a 5.69 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 42:14 K:BB through 49 innings this season. Oddly enough, he's been slightly worse away from Coors Field in 2024, but his next start is projected to come in Oakland.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Stumbles in ninth inning Tuesday
Rotowire
Feltner did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing three runs on five hits over eight innings. He struck out three.
Felter was dominant for most of Tuesday's outing, blanking the Marlins through eight frames. With the Rockies up 5-0, the 27-year-old Feltner started the ninth inning, eyeing the first complete game of his career. However, he was pulled after allowing the first three batters to reach in the inning before the bullpen imploded, ultimately allowing the Marlins to tie the game and costing Feltner a chance at a win. Despite the disappointing finish, it was an encouraging outing for Feltner overall after he allowed 10 runs over 9.1 innings in his previous two starts. He's 1-2 on the season with a 5.13 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 33:10 K:BB through six starts (33.1 innings).

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Grabs first win
Rotowire
Feltner (1-1) earned the win Friday against the Blue Jays, allowing two runs on eight hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out four.
Feltner allowed a run in each of the first two innings before settling in and holding Toronto scoreless over his final three frames as the Rockies erupted for 12 runs in a comfortable win. Feltner's gotten off to a nice start this year, posting a 3.38 ERA with a 1.31 WHIP and 18:6 K:BB through his first three outings (16 innings). However, the 27-year-old righty isn't likely to warrant fantasy consideration while pitching half the time at Coors Field -- Feltner struggled to a 5.82 ERA in 10 starts last season.
