Rockies' Seth Halvorsen: Tallies ninth save Friday
Rotowire
Halvorsen picked up the save in Friday's 6-4 win over the Twins, allowing one hit and no walks during a scoreless ninth inning. He struck out two.
The save was the ninth of the year for the 25-year-old right-hander, who fanned multiple batters for the first time since June 18. Halvorsen surrendered five runs while failing to record an out his last time out in Boston, so he bounced back nicely from that meltdown as well. The last-place Rockies do figure to rank toward the bottom of the major leagues in save opportunities the rest of the way, but Halvorsen at least seems to be first in line for those chances despite submitting a 5.15 ERA and 1.55 WHIP in 2025.

Rockies' Seth Halvorsen: Records four-out save
Rotowire
Halvorsen earned the save in Thursday's 7-6 win over the Astros, allowing one run on three hits while striking out one batter in 1.1 innings. He did not issue a walk.
Halvorsen was brought in for the eighth inning to record the final out and came back out for the ninth to protect the Rockies' two-run lead. He gave up a triple and an RBI groundout to start the frame and yielded back-to-back singles, but he managed to escape with the save after getting Cooper Hummel to fly out to right field. It was Halvorsen's seventh save of the season (and fifth since the beginning of June), and he now has a 4.15 ERA and 1.44 WHIP across 34.2 innings.

Rockies' Seth Halvorsen: Scoreless ninth inning
Rotowire
Halvorsen allowed two hits and one walk while striking out one across a scoreless ninth inning Sunday against the Brewers.
Halvorsen had converted each of Colorado's last three saves, but he entered Sunday's game in a 2-2 tie in the top of the ninth inning. Though the box score suggests he got hit hard, both of the hits Halvorsen surrendered failed to leave the infield. He's allowed only three earned runs across his last 9.2 frames -- spanning 10 appearances -- and should continue to get the majority of save chances for the Rockies.
Halvorsen allowed a hit in a scoreless inning and earned a save over Arizona on Sunday. He struck out one batter.
Halvorsen worked around a two-out double by Randal Grichuk to close out the 4-2 victory Sunday. It was Halvorsen's first appearance since blowing a save chance against the Nationals on Thursday. He's now converted six of his nine save opportunities while producing a 4.31 ERA and a 29:14 K:BB through 31.1 innings.

Rockies' Seth Halvorsen: Locks down fifth save
Rotowire
Halvorsen picked up the save in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Nationals, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.
Halvorsen has converted the Rockies' last two save opportunities. He's turned in four consecutive scoreless innings, striking out five while allowing just one hit in that span. Overall, the right-hander has logged five saves while posting a 4.25 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 28:14 K:BB across 29.2 innings this season. The demotion of Zach Agnos last weekend should leave Halvorsen as Colorado's top option for saves, though Tyler Kinley could also be in the mix.

Rockies' Seth Halvorsen: Works fifth save
Rotowire
Halvorsen picked up the save, walking one batter in the process, during Monday's 6-4 win over the Nationals.
The Rockies closer worked his third straight scoreless outing Monday, allowing just one hit over that stretch, to earn his fourth save of the season. The 25-year-old hasn't gotten a ton of save opportunities, and he hasn't been too efficient with them either, blowing two of the six he's had. The right-hander has a 4.40 ERA on the season.

Rockies' Seth Halvorsen: Picks up third save
Rotowire
Halvorsen didn't allow a baserunner and earned the save with a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday against the Marlins.
Zach Agnos (personal) had recorded two consecutive saves for the Rockies but is currently on the bereavement list. That set Halvorsen up for the save chance Tuesday, and he delivered his third save of the season. After a slow start to the year, Halvorsen has turned in five scoreless efforts in his last six appearances.

Rockies' Seth Halvorsen: Knocked around in defeat
Rotowire
Halvorsen (0-1) took the loss and was charged with a blown save Monday against the Phillies, allowing four runs on five hits while striking out one batter over two-thirds of an inning.
Halvorsen had picked up Colorado's most recent save -- Saturday versus Tampa Bay -- but was brought in for the eighth inning Monday with the Rockies up by a run. The right-hander gave up the lead on a two-run homer by Alec Bohm and then allowed three more hits, resulting in two more runs, before he was pulled. Halvorsen's usage in the outing suggests that he's not locked in as Colorado's go-to closer despite tying for the team lead with two saves. Zach Agnos also has two saves and has pitched much better than Halvorsen with a 1.50 ERA and 1.00 WHIP to Halvorsen's 5.30 and 1.61 marks.

Rockies' Seth Halvorsen: Notches save Saturday
Rotowire
Halvorsen picked up a save against Arizona on Saturday, walking one batter in a scoreless and hitless inning of work.
Colorado trailed 11-6 midway through the contest but managed to storm back to take a two-run lead into the bottom of the ninth. Halvorsen got the call to close things out and managed to do so despite issuing a two-out walk and throwing just seven of 14 pitches for strikes. Save opportunities have been few and far between for the eight-win Rockies this season, but Halvorsen has managed a pair of saves to tie for the team lead. There doesn't appear to be a clear bullpen hierarchy with the team, as Zach Agnos -- who also has two saves -- pitched in the seventh inning Saturday while Tyler Kinley (who has one save) handled the eighth. For fantasy purposes, there is little reason to invest much in any Rockies reliever, but Halvorsen and Agnos are probably the best targets for managers desperate for saves.

Rockies' Seth Halvorsen: Used as setup man Wednesday
Rotowire
Halvorsen struck out two in a perfect eighth inning Wednesday to record his first hold of the season in a 2-1 win over Atlanta.
The 25-year-old righty hasn't notched a save since March 29, blowing his only other chance April 22, and the Rockies elected to use Halvorsen in a setup role Wednesday while letting Zach Agnos handle the ninth and pick up his first career save. Halvorsen did face Atlanta's 9-1-2 hitters, striking out Eddie Rosario and Austin Riley, so it was still a very high-leverage spot. Tyler Kinley, who hasn't pitched since Saturday, also figures to be in the closer mix for Colorado, but the team's 5-25 record hasn't provided many opportunities for manager Bud Black to reveal his tendencies with his current bullpen. On the season, Halvorsen has a 4.26 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 11:6 K:BB through 12.2 innings.

Rockies' Seth Halvorsen: Gets high-leverage work
Rotowire
Halvorsen allowed one hit and struck out two across 1.1 scoreless innings in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Nationals.
The appearance was only Halvorsen's second since April 10, as the Rockies were in the midst of an eight-game losing streak. He was called upon to keep Colorado down one run with runners at first and second in the eighth inning Sunday, and he then remained in the game to conclude the contest. Tyler Kinley tallied the save in Game 2 of the doubleheader with Halvorsen unavailable, but Halvorsen still appears to be the team's primary closer.

Rockies' Seth Halvorsen: Bounces back to close out win
Rotowire
Halvorsen walked one and struck out one across a scoreless ninth inning Thursday against the Brewers.
Halvorsen entered the game with a five-run lead in the ninth inning, so it wasn't a save situation. However, it was still an important outing after he surrendered six runs (three earned) while recording just one out in Wednesday's game. Halvorsen should be in line for at least a share of Colorado's saves moving forward.

Rockies' Seth Halvorsen: Crushed in blowout loss
Rotowire
Halvorsen allowed six runs (three earned) on two hits and three walks while striking out one over one-third of an inning in Wednesday's loss to the Brewers.
Halvorsen entered the game to start the ninth inning with the Rockies down by eight runs, likely just to get work because he hadn't appeared in a game since Friday. It was a disastrous outing all around, as he walked the first two batters he faced, then was charged with an error that allowed two runs to score before serving up a homer to the next batter he faced. Halvorsen and Victor Vodnik each have one save this season, and they appear set to share the closer role for the time being.
Halvorsen was perfect Saturday, striking out one without allowing a baserunner to secure a four-out save against the Rays.
Halvorsen averaged 99 mph on both his fastball and sinker, needing just 14 pitches to secure the Rockies' first save opportunity of the season. The 25-year-old impressed late in 2024 with a 1.46 ERA in 12.1 innings and made a strong case for more save chances with his sharp 2025 debut.
