Rockies' Geoff Hartlieb: Misses out on Opening Day roster
Rotowire
The Rockies reassigned Hartlieb to minor-league camp Wednesday, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.
Hartlieb fell short in his bid for a spot in the Rockies' Opening Day bullpen despite not allowing a run over 4.1 innings in Cactus League play, though he allowed seven of the 18 batters he faced to reach base. The 30-year-old right-hander, who made a pair of big-league appearances with Miami in 2023, is expected to remain in the Rockies organization and open the 2024 campaign at Triple-A Albuquerque.

Mets' Geoff Hartlieb: Up as 27th man
Rotowire
The Mets will call Hartlieb up from Triple-A Syracuse to have him serve as the 27th man for Wednesday's twin bill with the Nationals, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
The Mets and Nationals won't be playing a traditional doubleheader; the first game will be a resumption of Tuesday's contest, which was suspended in the second inning with Washington leading, 3-1. Regardless, Hartlieb's status as the 27th man means he'll likely be sent back to Syracuse after the two games are completed. Through six big-league appearances between the Mets and Pirates this season, Hartlieb has given up eight earned runs on seven hits and nine walks across seven innings.
