Vodnik, last seen giving up five runs against the Padres in a blown save Thursday, struck out Marcus Semien and MJ Melendez to finish a 3-1 game. He’s now 4-for-6 in his save chances, but he’s still not a great use of a roster spot in mixed leagues.

Vodnik came in with two on and two out in the eighth and struck out Fernando Tatis Jr. The ninth, though, opened with a walk, three singles and a homer to plate five runs. Vodnik then struck out Freddy Fermin before being pulled. It’s the second blown save for Vodnik, who saw his ERA jump from 3.60 to 7.59. It might open the door for Antonio Senzatela or Seth Halvorsen to get save chances in Colorado, but we’d suggest continuing to avoid the entire situation.

Vodnik did allow a pair of hits, but he was able to work around those baserunners to preserve the one-run lead. The 26-year-old has dealt with traffic in most of his outings, but he’s been able to (mostly) limit the damage to procure three saves with an ERA of 2.00.

Vodnik gave up two runs in his season debut, but he’s allowed just a 10th-inning automatic runner to score in seven innings this month. He’s the clear favorite for saves for the Rockies, though that still probably doesn’t make him worth rostering in 10- and 12-team leagues.

Vodnik put the tying run at the plate, but the 26-year-old was able to strike out Brandon Marsh and Rafael Marchán to procure the save. The 26-year-old has his first save of 2026 with a 4.50 ERA.

Vodnik allowed a two-run homer to Owen Caissie with two outs to blow his first save chance of the season. The right-hander was throwing hard with several fastballs ticking above 100 mph, but he left a pitch in the wrong spot to Caissie to prevent the four-out save. Vodnik still should get most of the limited chances that the Rockies will provide.

Ouch. Vodnik also issued a pair of walks while recording both of his outs via the strikeout. Vodnik took over in the second inning of this one and walked two of the first three hitters he faced before serving up a three-run homer to light-hitting infielder David Hamilton. He also allowed another couple of singles before turning the ball over to the bullpen and one of those inherited runners ultimately scored. The presumed closer to open the season for the Rockies, Vodnik has struggled to a 27.00 ERA and 4.88 WHIP over 2 2/3 innings in three Cactus League outings this spring. Perhaps Rockies’ skipper Warren Schaeffer may want to go in a different direction in the ninth inning.

Vodnik took over with a two-run lead to protect and immediately made things interesting by issuing a leadoff walk to Jo Adell. He then got Nolan Schanuel to bounce into a double play before allowing a two-out single to Logan O’Hoppe that once again brought the tying run to the dish. The 25-year-old hurler bore down though and struck out Christian Moore to end the ballgame. For the season, he holds a terrific 2.92 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and a 47/24 K/BB ratio over 49 1/3 innings while recording seven saves and four victories.

Vodnik pitched around a single to close out the Angels in a one-run game in the ninth inning. The 25-year-old right-hander’s save was his ninth of the season and he lowered his ERA to 2.98 in the process. With a strong finish to the season, Vodnik could have the inside track on the Rockies’ closer job in 2026.

Vodnik gave up a run on a fielder’s choice in the ninth, and it came with the Rockies leading 4-1. It hurts Vodnik’s ERA, but didn’t make much of a difference in terms of picking up the save. He now has eight of those, and his ERA is still a healthy — especially considering his home park and the players behind him — 3.11.

Vodnik put the tying run at the plate after giving up a hit and a walk, but the 25-year-old was able to wiggle out of the jam and procure his seventh save. The right-hander now has a 3.05 ERA on the season, and certainly seems like the favorite to be the closer for the Rockies to open 2026.

Is Victor Vodnik becoming a solid closing option? Enquiring minds want to know. The answer to that is subjective, but he hasn’t blown a save since the All-Star break, and the only runs he’s allowed in August came in the 20-1 debacle against the Blue Jays. You can probably find a better closing option than Vodnik, but he’s better than nothing. How’s that for a recommendation?

A Hunter Goodman home run gave the Rockies a one-run lead in the top of the ninth inning, so Vodnik quickly warmed up and then didn’t allow a baserunner in the ninth inning. He did allow a shot to the wall in left center field by Thomas Saggese, but no damage was done. Vodnik now has four saves on the season, but may need some time off after also getting five outs in a save chance on Tuesday.

Vodnik allowed just one hit and he was able to strike out three while working the final 1 2/3 innings. The 25-year-old has saved three games in 2025, and while the Rockies won’t provide a ton more chances, he’s pitched well enough suggest he should see most of those opportunities for the remainder of the year.

Vodnik will step away from the Rockies’ bullpen while his family gains a new member. Sounds like two blessings. Nick Anderson is up from Triple- Albuquerque to take Vodnik’s spot in the relief corps.

Vodnik took the mound in the bottom of the ninth with a one-run lead over the Reds to close out the game. He gave up a single and a triple to tie the game before a fielding error brought the winning run in to score for the Reds. Vodnik was attempting to work back-to-back saves after recording his second save against Cincinnati on Friday as he’s shared save chances with Seth Halvorsen.

Converting his first save since April 6th, Vodnik had to work around some trouble here. He allowed a lead-off double to Santiago Espinal and intentionally walked Elly De La Cruz soon thereafter. Yet, he struck out the other three batters he faced with fastballs that topped out at 101.4 mph to finish off this save.

Vodnik rejoins Colorado’s bullpen prior to Tuesday’s contest against the Cubs at Wrigley Field after missing five weeks with shoulder inflammation. The 25-year-old righty holds a respectable 4.50 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 8/6 K/BB ratio across eight innings (nine appearances).

Vodnik hits the shelf ahead of Sunday’s twin bill against the Nationals. The 25-year-old righty has compiled a solid 4.50 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 8/6 K/BB ratio across eight innings (nine appearances). No word yet on how much time he’s going to miss.
