The Rockies, in need of set-up help, are set to get right-hander Rafael Betancourt from the Indians.

FOXSports.com earlier reported discussions between the teams about Betancourt.

Betancourt is 1-2 with a 3.52 ERA in 29 appearances. He missed all of June with a groin strain.

Colorado relievers are 14th in the NL with a 4.86 ERA. Take out closer Huston Street and that figure jumps to 5.29.

Update, 4:44 p.m.: Cleveland got right-hander Connor Graham in the deal, which has been officially announced. Graham, 6-foot-7 and 23 years old, was 7-4 with a 3.14 ERA at Class A Modesto (Calif.) and was a fifth-round pick in 2007.
