DENVER – The Colorado Rockies announced a series of roster moves Friday afternoon, the first of which — the return of Jon Gray off the DL to pitch tonight in Arizona — was anticipated, the other three were not.
Catcher Tom Murphy has been optioned back to Triple-A after showing he still needs to work on some things on both sides of the ball. Ryan Hanigan has been recalled to take his place.
Finally, relief pitcher Chad Qualls has been designated for assignment, likely meaning that his days with the Rockies are over.
