DENVER—The Colorado Rockies activated right-hander Jason Hammel from the 15-day disabled list Saturday and planned to start him in the second game of their day-night doubleheader against Washington.
Hammel strained a right groin muscle in his start against Arizona on April 26. He made one rehab start for Triple-A Colorado Springs and was scheduled to return to the Rockies on Wednesday, but rainouts pushed him back.
Hammel is 0-2 with a 9.16 ERA in four starts.
To make room for Hammel, the Rockies put outfielder Eric Young on the 15-day DL with a stress fracture of his lower right leg. Young hurt himself during Wednesday’s game against Philadelphia. He is hitting .250 in 13 games.
