• The Marlins acquired Vodnik from the Rockies on Monday in exchange for Connor Norby and Aiden May, Jeff Passan of ESPN reports.

  Vodnik has logged a 5.25 ERA and 26:19 K:BB over 36 frames this season for the Rockies. The 26-year-old is a hard thrower and boasts a career 54.3 percent groundball rate, but a 16 percent strikeout rate in 2026 is disheartening. Vodnik could get a chance to fill in a leverage role in the Miami bullpen, though Pete Fairbanks should remain the team's closer.

• The Rockies activated Vodnik (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Monday.

  Vodnik is fully recovered from the ulnar nerve inflammation in his right elbow that sent him to the IL in late May, getting clearance to return after making two scoreless rehab appearances at Triple-A Albuquerque. The 26-year-old had yielded 14 runs over nine innings covering his last 10 outings before going on the IL, so the Rockies seem unlikely to utilize Vodnik in high-leverage situations right out of the chute. Eventually, though, Vodnik could get another chance at close if he pitches well. He still leads the Rockies with four saves this season despite missing nearly a month of action.

• Vodnik (elbow) was sent to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment.

  Vodnik has recovered well after missing the past three weeks of action with right ulnar nerve inflammation. Since his absence has been relatively brief, the reliever should not require too many rehab appearances. Vodnik still leads the Rockies with four saves this season, but he allowed 14 runs over his last nine innings before going on the 15-day injured list, so the club will likely ease him back into high-leverage spots when he's ready to return.

• Vodnik (elbow) tossed a bullpen session Saturday, MLB.com reports.

  Vodnik hit 95 mph with his fastball during the workout, putting him a few ticks behind his season-long average of 98.8 mph. Even so, the side session represents an important step forward in the recovery process for Vodnik, who was placed on the 15-day injured list May 20 due to right ulnar nerve inflammation. He's slated to throw another side session early during the upcoming week before advancing to facing hitters by the weekend.

• The Rockies placed Vodnik on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with right ulnar nerve inflammation.

  Vodnik still leads the Rockies with four saves this season but has struggled mightily over the last month, allowing 14 runs with an 11:9 K:BB over nine innings. He'll now be sidelined for at least the next two weeks. Antonio Senzatela and Juan Mejia are currently the top options for saves in the Colorado bullpen.

• Vodnik (1-2) picked up the win in Friday's 9-7 extra-innings victory over the Phillies, walking one and striking out two over two scoreless, no-hit innings.

  Entering a tie game in the ninth inning, Vodnik shut down the heart of the Phillies' order and got rewarded for his efforts when his offense put two runs on the board in the top of the 11th. The right-hander is the clear top option in the Colorado bullpen, converting four of his six save chances so far in 2026, but pitching his home games at Coors Field has left its mark on his ratios in the early going. Vodnik has a 3.60 ERA in 10 road innings but a brutal 11.12 ERA in 5.2 frames at home.
