| According to the Associated Press, the Rockies have recalled left-hander Randy Flores, right-hander Joel Peralta and catcher Paul Phillips from Triple-A Colorado Springs. |
Our View: Flores and Peralta will add depth in the bullpen and Phillips will be the team's third catcher now that the rosters have expanded. The Rockies also recalled former slugger Jason Giambi and pitchers Greg Reynolds and Greg Smith were brought up and instantly placed on the 60-day DL to clear space for everyone else.
