Getting your player ready...
DENVER—Rockies right-hander Aaron Cook, the team’s opening day starter, was transferred to the 60-day disabled list Sunday.
Cook was originally placed on the disabled list Aug. 16, retroactive to Aug. 11, with a strained left oblique muscle. He suffered a recurrence of the injury while making a rehab start on Sept. 1 for Triple-A Colorado Springs at Tacoma.
The Rockies filled Cook’s spot on the 40-man roster by purchasing the contract of outfielder Seth Smith from Colorado Springs. Smith hit .317 with 17 home runs and 82 RBIs in 129 games with the minor league team this season.
Smith was with the Rockies for Sunday’s game with Florida.
