Utility man Ty Wigginton has an oblique strain in his right side that will sideline him until at least Monday against Arizona. He won't have to go on the Disabled List, but he won't be available for the series against the Pirates.
To make up for that loss, infielder Alfredo Amezaga has been called up from AAA Colorado Springs and is in uniform ready to go tonight if needed.
Pitcher Clayton Mortenson has been sent down to AAA Colorado Springs. This move has nothing to do with his pitching performance the last week. It's simply an opportunity for him to get more chances to pitch. He'll be back with the club later this year, I'm almost certain.
Alan Johnson has been designated for assignment, effectively ending his run with the Rockies. This action is to make room on the 25-man roster.
Other than that, the Rockies look ready to go after another unexpected day off due to weather, this time in Chicago. Here are tonight's lineups.
Game #24: Kevin Correia (3-2, 3.48 ERA) vs. Jhouyls Chacin (3-1, 2.67 ERA)
