 Matt Murton-OF - Rockies Aug. 26 - 7:16 pm et

Rockies designated outfielder Matt Murton for assignment.
It was a short stint with the Rockies for Murton. He was promoted on Tuesday but jettisoned the next day to make room for Juan Rincon. Murton, a former top prospect who is now 27, hit .267/.327/.444 in 45 at-bats for the Rockies earlier this season. He was raking at Triple-A Colorado Springs, producing a .321 average with 10 homers and 71 RBI. He'll return there if he clears waivers.

Rockies recalled outfielder Matt Murton from Triple-A Colorado Springs.
Murton hit .267/.327/.444 in 45 at-bats for the Rockies earlier this season and may find a couple of starts while Carlos Gonzalez (hand) is ailing.
 Matt Murton-OF - Rockies Jun. 5 - 10:12 am et

Rockies optioned outfielder Matt Murton to Triple-A Colorado Springs.
Murton wasn't terrible, batting .267/.327/.444 in 45 at-bats for the Rockies, but upper management felt it was time for top prospect Carlos Gonzalez to join the big club. Murton will be recalled if there's a need for depth in the Colorado outfield.
 Brad Hawpe-OF - Rockies May. 26 - 6:28 pm et  

Brad Hawpe tweaked his groin in Monday's game and is being held out of the lineup Tuesday.
Manager Clint Hurdle is unsure if Hawpe can handle pinch-hitting duties Tuesday, so a Wednesday return isn't guaranteed. Matt Murton, hitting .276/.323/.517 in 29 at-bats since his callup, is picking up a start in Hawpe's place.

 Matt Murton-OF - Rockies Apr. 29 - 3:15 pm et

Rockies recalled outfielder Matt Murton from Triple-A Colorado Springs.
Murton was hitting a scalding .411 with four homers and 19 RBI at Triple-A, but there probably aren't enough at-bats available for him to make an impact in NL-only leagues.
