The Rockies have designated 23-year old righty Alberto Arias for assignment to make room on the roster for Franklin Morales. The Rockies hope they can slide Arias through waivers and keep him around. He pitched in 6 games for the Rockies this season and he was 0-0 with a 4.91 ERA and a 1.77 WHIP. Morales was outstanding in his first start with the Rockies as he worked 5.1 innings and he allowed 5 hits, 1 earned run, whiffed 4 batters and walked 0.
