Colorado Rockies reliever Seth Halvorsen got four outs to log his seventh save in the team's 7-6 win over the Houston Astros on Thursday. Halvorsen inherited runners on the corners in a 7-5 game in the top of the eighth, but he retired Isaac Paredes to escape the trouble. The ninth was trickier for Halvorsen, who gave up three hits (including a leadoff triple to Jake Meyers) and a run before getting Cooper Hummel to fly out to end the game. Halvorsen threw 26 pitches and struck out one in the outing. The 25-year-old right-hander has recorded a 4.15 ERA with 32 strikeouts, 15 walks, and a 1.44 WHIP in 34 2/3 innings. Between those unspectacular numbers and the lack of save opportunities that come with pitching for the last-place Rockies, Halvorsen is not much of a fantasy asset.

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Seth Halvorsen was asked to come onto the mound with a two-run lead in the ninth inning on Sunday. Halvorsen gave up one hit, but was able to work around it and finish off the D-Backs hitters and earn his sixth save of the season. Halvorsen has been a decent option out of the bullpen for the Rockies this season. Unfortunately, the Rockies don't win enough games to warrant rostering Halvorsen in most fantasy formats. He could offer some deep league value, but that's about it.

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Seth Halvorsen closed out his team's 6-4 win in Washington on Monday night to earn his fourth save of the season. The 24-year-old right has four saves and four holds in his 29 games this season, posting a 4.40 ERA and 4.54 FIP in his 28 2/3 innings. He has 26 strikeouts and 28 hits allowed in those innings, and he has provided scoreless relief in eight of his last 10 appearances. On Monday, he had to work around a leadoff walk to Luis Garcia Jr., but got a double-play from Brady House before getting Josh Bell to ground out to first to end the game. The Rockies haven't had many save chances this season, but have been playing better lately. Halvorsen has been their primary closer when needed this season and should stay in that role for now, making him potentially a sneaky source of saves.

Colorado Rockies reliever Seth Halvorsen struck out one over 1 1/3 innings to earn the save in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. Halvorsen entered the eighth inning to protect a one-run lead. With two outs and runners on first and second base, Halvorsen got Yandy Diaz to ground out to end the inning. The 25-year-old made quick work of the Rays in the ninth to notch his first save of the season. He converted both save opportunities while posting a 1.46 ERA, 0.81 WHIP, and a 13:2 K:BB across 12 1/3 innings in 2024. Halvorsen finished strong last season and earned more save opportunities with his performance in Saturday's win. Fantasy managers searching for saves should look to add Halvorsen off the waiver wire, as he's rostered in just 3% of Yahoo Fantasy leagues.

Colorado Rockies pitching prospect Seth Halvorsen allowed five earned runs on Tuesday afternoon. Halvorsen was only able to get two outs. He allowed three hits and served up two free passes. Halvorsen is competing for a spot on the Opening Day roster. However, this poor showing could put him in danger of opening the season in the minor leagues. Last summer, Halvorsen made his MLB debut and tossed 12 1/3 innings to the tune of a 1.46 ERA with a 0.81 WHIP. He tallied two saves and generated an elite .196 xBA. Earlier in the season, the 25-year-old logged 44 1/3 innings across Double and Triple-A and posted a 4.47 ERA with a 1.47 WHIP. He tallied 56 strikeouts while serving up 23 walks. If he were to open the season in the minor leagues, Victor Vodnik and Tyler Kinley could see more save opportunities.

Colorado Rockies relief pitchers Seth Halvorsen and Victor Vodnik are currently competing for the closer role during spring training. The bullpen was a big reason why the Rockies lost over 100 games last season. The organization is hopeful that some of their younger arms can take big steps forward in 2025. Vodnik might be the favorite for the closer role considering he took over the role for part of the season last year. He registered a 4.28 ERA, 1.48 WHIP, and 65/37 K/BB ratio across 64 games last season. He notched nine saves as well, which is decent considering the Rockies weren't winning a ton of games. Halvorsen has less MLB experience, but posted a 1.46 ERA and 0.81 WHIP across 12 games with the Rockies last season. Honestly, neither player will probably offer a ton of fantasy value unless the Rockies are able to find more success as a team in 2025.

The Denver Post's Patrick Saunders writes that Colorado Rockies right-hander Seth Halvorsen is in the mix for saves in 2025. Tyler Kinley is believed to be the favorite for saves in Colorado to open the season because of the experience factor alone, but Halvorsen should be in the mix as well after making his major-league debut last year and pitching to a nice 1.46 ERA, 0.81 WHIP, his first two career saves, 13 strikeouts and two walks in the small sample size of 12 1/3 innings. The 25-year-old struck out 56 batters in 44 1/3 innings at Double-A and Triple-A, too, before getting called up. The former seventh-rounder out of the University of Tennessee in 2023 features a triple-digit fastball, splitter and slider, all of which generate plenty of whiffs. Walks could be an issue, but Halvorsen's upside makes him intriguing for saves speculators in deeper fantasy leagues.

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Seth Halvorsen picked up his second save of the season on Thursday, shutting down the St. Louis Cardinals and preserving a 10-8 win. Halvorsen allowed a hit and struck out one in his inning of work. The 24-year-old has now gotten the Rockies' last three save opportunities, converting two of them. It appears the team wants to try the youngster out and see what they have headed into next year. Nothing is ever certain with the Rockies, especially with pitchers, but he is probably the favorite for saves heading into 2025. He could be a good late-round flier for those looking for cheap save sources.
