Rockies add five players
DENVER (AP) -- The Colorado Rockies added five players Thursday, recalling outfielders Jeff Baker and Jeff Salazar and right-handed pitcher Denny Bautista from Colorado Springs and purchasing the contracts of left-handers Justin Hampson and Mike Venafro from the Triple-A team.
"Jeff Baker will be given plenty of opportunity to play and not just against left-handed pitchers," Colorado manager Clint Hurdle said. "I like a lot of the things that Jeff Salazar does. He does need work on his bunting and base stealing."
Right-hander Mike DeJean was transferred from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day DL to make room on the 40-man roster.
