The Colorado Rockies have activated P Livan Hernandez and have designated P Kip Wells for assignment.

According to the Associated Press, "Hernandez, who was claimed off waivers from Minnesota on Wednesday, was 10-8 with the Twins before being designated for assignment on Aug. 1. He has a 5.48 ERA and 54 strikeouts in 139 2-3 innings this season... The Rockies also transferred first baseman Todd Helton to the 60-day disabled list, more than a month after the slugger was put on the 15-day disabled list." Good moves?

Ya I suppose so but I'll see when they pitch. However it was probably their best decision with the situation on hand.

I don't thnk Hernandez is a very good acquisition and now Todd Helton is now on the 60 day DL list is good news for the Rockies since he is making 16 million a year. He was not having a good year anyways before he got hurt. I wish they would get rid of him by trade!

Rockies put Helton on 60-day DL

DENVER - The Colorado Rockies have transferred first baseman Todd Helton to the 60-day disabled list, more than a month after the slugger was put on the 15-day disabled list.

The last time Helton played was July 2 against San Diego, two days before he was first put on the disabled list with a strained lower back. The Rockies announced Helton's transfer to the 60-day list on Sunday. The 34-year-old entered the season with a .332 batting average but was hitting just .266 with seven homers at the time of his injury.

Yeah, I got Helton on my fantasy team. Probably about time to dump him, eh? Have they said officially he's done for the year?

Hold onto him a little longer.
