PHOENIX (AP) -The Colorado Rockies activated second baseman Kaz Matsui on Monday and optioned Omar Quintanilla to Triple-A Colorado Springs.
Matsui missed 32 games with lower back spasms. Matsui, who was in the lineup for Monday night’s game against Arizona, hit .361 (13-for-36) with three RBIs in nine games before the injury.
Manager Clint Hurdle said he would limit Matsui’s playing time at first.
“We won’t overload him early,” Hurdle said.
Quintanilla hit .256 (11-for-43) in 14 games in his third stint with the Rockies.
