Jeff Criswell returned to the Colorado Rockies after Tommy John surgery, marking a challenging career phase. In 2026, he struggled in 10.2 innings during a minor league rehab assignment, posting a 5.91 ERA before rejoining the Rockies roster. His first appearances were promising, but a recent outing resulted in a shoulder strain, leading to another stint on the injured list. He concluded the season back with Triple-A Albuquerque after his second recall to the majors in July.
