DENVER (AP) -Colorado has placed catcher Yorvit Torrealba on the restricted list for personal reasons and purchased the contract of catcher Edwin Bellorin from Triple-A Colorado Springs.
Bellorin was in uniform for the Rockies’ game Tuesday night in Houston.
Torrealba was hitting .230 with two home runs and seven RBIs in 19 games for the Rockies. He had started six of eight games since starter Chris Iannetta was placed on the disabled list May 24 with a strained right hamstring.
Bellorin was hitting .342 with four doubles and 12 RBIs in 22 games for the Sky Sox, where he hit in 18 of 22 games. He made his major league debut with the Rockies in 2007.
