Mortensen has posted a 31-27 record with a 4.29 ERA during his four-year Minor League apprenticeship, and he's gone 2-4 with a 7.12 ERA in seven big league starts. The 25-year-old made just one start for Oakland last season.
Colorado was forced to designate right-hander Samuel Deduno for assignment in order to make room for Mortensen on the 40-man roster.

Farmers Insurance signed on as title sponsor a year ago. Less than two months later, it extended its commitment through 2014. And what better than an insurance company to create some synergy with Torrey Pines, a public track that embodies hazards. The golfers are better off letting it come to them, and taking what it gives. Aggressive play could lead to a few claims, so to speak. Experience, patience and a well-rounded game are rewarded.
In 2010, Torrey South,MBT Chapa, which can be stretched to a healthy 7,698 yards, scored as the 16th-most difficult course in relation to par; it was fifth-toughest of all par-72s in non-majors. It's ranked inside the top-seven in putting in each of the last five years. It was 11th in scrambling last year,MBT M.Walk, further emphasizing the need for precision around the greens.
Its little brother, the North Course, is some 700 yards shorter and ranked as the ninth-easiest track in all of 2010. It's not entirely a pushover, as it's been inside the top-five most difficult in fairways hit every year since 2006, but guys will need to capitalize on their one crack at it.
Another week of favorable weather is on tap, and only a whiff of a chance of rain enters the forecast on Sunday. High temperatures will start in the 70s, and then gradually recede into the 60s by the final round. Light-to-moderate winds will offer the only challenge if any.
