DENVER-
The Colorado Rockies optioned infielder Clint Barmes to Triple-A Colorado Springs on Tuesday and called up infielder Omar Quintanilla.
Barmes had been called up two weeks ago when second-baseman Kazuo Matsui went on the 15-day disabled list with back spasms.
Barmes appeared in 10 games including four starts for the Rockies, going 2-for-20.
Quintanilla hit .255 with six RBI in 17 games for Colorado Springs. He started 12 games at shortstop and three at second base.
He was scheduled to be in uniform for Tuesday night’s game at San Francisco.
Matsui was hitting .361 with three RBIs and had five stolen bases in five attempts when he went on the DL on April 15.
