On Sunday afternoon, while the Colorado Rockies and New York Mets were finishing up a three-game series at Coors Field, the Rockies made a roster move that will have lasting impacts this season.

Suffering from what has been called a sprained left thumb, infielder/outfielder Chris Owings has been transferred from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured list. Taking his place on the roster is right-handed pitcher Ashton Goudeau, who was originally put on waivers by the Rockies in late November.
