Denver, CO (SportsNetwork.com) – The Colorado Rockies activated first baseman Justin Morneau from the 15-day disabled list Tuesday among a flurry of roster moves.<\/p>\n
Morneau has not played since July 13 due to a neck strain.<\/p>\n
The 33-year-old underwent surgery to repair a pinched nerve in his neck while with Minnesota in 2011 and missed more than six weeks following the procedure.<\/p>\n
Morneau is putting together a strong first season in Colorado, having hit .312 with 13 home runs over 89 games in addition to his team-leading 60 RBI.<\/p>\n
Colorado also activated pitcher Boone Logan from the DL, recalled infielder Cristhian Adames from Triple-A Colorado Springs and optioned infielder Ben Paulsen and pitchers Brooks Brown and Chad Bettis.<\/p>\n
Logan, who spent time on the DL due to diverticulitis, has appeared in 25 games this season, compiling a 2-1 record with a 6.11 earned run average.<\/p>\n
Paulsen had 10 hits and two RBI with three runs scored in seven games for the Rockies.<\/p>\n
Brown pitched in nine games with Colorado, putting together an 0-1 record with 7.56 ERA, while Bettis went 0-2 with 1 9.12 ERA in 21 relief appearances.<\/p>\n
Adames has yet to play in the majors, but has hit .276 with two home runs and 40 RBI in 93 games between Double-A Tulsa and Colorado Springs this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
