ANALYSIS
The reliever returned from a back injury Monday, and earned two appearances on the mound against the Giants this past week. During his time on the bump, Qualls allowed two earned runs off four hits while just recording three outs, bloating his ERA to 5.40 for the season. The 38-year-old has been in the majors since 2005, and has been a part of the Rockies organization for the last year and a half.

Following two serviceable years out of the Astros bullpen, Qualls inked a two-year deal with the Rockies, who aimed to shore up their shaky relief corps. Unfortunately, things did not go as planned, as the veteran reliever posted his worst numbers since 2012. Like most Rockies pitchers, he was gashed by the Coors Field effect (7.43 ERA, 1.88 WHIP at home), but his numbers on the road weren't exactly anything to call home about, either. The right-hander also saw a regression in his K:BB thanks to a lowly 6.06 K/9 despite maintaining solid control throughout the season. At 38 years old, Qualls seems to be on the decline, as he lost 1.2 mph on his average fastball velocity and had a terribly high .351 BABIP for a pitcher who doesn't strike out too many hitters. Considering the Rockies have some younger (and more talented) options knocking on the door of the major leagues, Qualls will likely spend his 14th big league season in a low-leverage role.
