This morning following the unveiling of the new Larry Walker statue, the Colorado Rockies announced a series of roster moves.
The Rockies announced today the following transactions: – Placed INF Kyle Karros on the 7-day concussion IL. – Recalled INF/OF Ryan Ritter from Triple-A Albuquerque. – Reinstated INF/OF Tyler Freeman from the 10-day IL and optioned him to Triple-A.

Kyle Karros had just returned from the Injured List before leaving last night’s game against the Cleveland Guardians after the fifth inning. As manager Warren Schaeffer said in the postgame, “[He had] symptoms similiar to his concussion. So we had to take him out.”
In his place, the Rockies have recalled infielder/outfielder Ryan Ritter . Ritter has had his own injuries to contend with this season, but is back with the Rockies as Eli Whitney reported this morning.

Ritter is slashing .325/.424/.459 in 52 games with the Isotopes with 10 doubles, two triples, four home runs, and 25 RBI. He has played 37 games at shortstop, 11 games in left field, three at second base, and two at third.
Perhaps most surprising is the Rockies decision to option Tyler Freeman to Triple-A Albuquerque.
Freeman has been a regular in the Rockies lineup since joining the team last season in a trade with the Guardians. He has been on the IL twice this season, and recently went 1-for-4 with a walk as the designated hitter in his third rehab game with Triple-A Albuquerque.
