SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Rockies right-hander Aaron Cook fractured bones in the ring finger on his throwing hand and will be out indefinitely.
Rockies manager Jim Tracy made the announcement after Colorado’s 4-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Friday.
Cook, already on the shelf with shoulder stiffness, caught the finger in a door. His nail was scattered and X-rays revealed the fracture.
Tracy also said catcher Chad Moeller was given his unconditional release.
Meanwhile, Jorge De La Rosa will not make his scheduled start Sunday as a precaution. De La Rosa complained of tightness in his back.
