DENVER (AP) — The Colorado Rockies have put outfielder Michael Cuddyer and right-hander Eddie Butler on the 15-day disabled list and selected the contract of right-hander Christian Bergman.
Bergman is scheduled to start Monday night’s game against Atlanta in his major league debut.
Cuddyer is out because of a strained left shoulder and Butler has inflammation in his right rotator cuff.
This is Cuddyer’s second stint on the DL after missing 28 games with a strained left hamstring. He is hitting .317 with five home runs this season.
The 23-year-old Butler allowed six runs and 10 hits in 5 1-3 innings in his major league debut during Friday’s 7-2 loss to the Dodgers.
Bergman was 4-4 with a 3.84 ERA in 12 starts for Triple-A Colorado Springs.
The Rockies also recalled righty Chad Bettis from Triple-A and designated reliever Wilton Lopez for assignment.
