Robert Petit: Everything you need to know

The Rockies transferred Petit (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Thursday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. Petit will miss the entire 2026 campaign after undergoing Tommy John surgery with an internal brace on his right elbow last week. Valente Bellozo was selected to the 40-man roster and optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move.

The Rockies placed Petit (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday. The 26-year-old underwent Tommy John surgery with an internal brace on his right elbow Friday, so the move to the injured list was inevitable. Petit will miss the rest of the season in addition to the start of the 2027 campaign.

Petit underwent Tommy John surgery with an internal brace on his right elbow Friday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. A Rule 5 selection over the winter, Petit is expected to be placed on the 60-day injured list in the coming days. The 26-year-old right-hander will miss the entire 2026 season, and his recovery will likely extend into the first half of the 2027 campaign. Once he's activated from the IL next season, the Rockies will have to decide whether to keep him on the 26-man active roster or offer him back to the Tigers, who had previously held his rights before exposing him to the Rule 5 Draft.
