The Denver Posts’ Troy E. Renck tweets that the Colorado Rockies have designated right-handed pitcher Taylor Buchholz for assignment. The move was made to accommodate catcher Paul Phillips on the 40-man roster.
Buccholz missed the 2009 season due to Tommy John surgery. He never regained his form from his stunning 2008 season when he went 6-6 with a 2.17 ERA in 63 relief appearances for the Rockies.
Buchholz, 28, was 1-0 with a 4.50 ERA over 10 innings pitched in seven relief appearances for the Rockies this season.
