The latest outright assignments…
- The Rockies have outrighted catcher Eliezer Alfonzo to Triple-A, according to MLB.com's transactions page. Alfonzo, a veteran of six MLB seasons, received a 100-game suspension last fall following his second positive test for a performance-enhancing substance. He owns a .290/.332/.475 batting line in a minor league career that spans 15 seasons. The Rockies designated the 33-year-old for assignment earlier this week.
When you’re 33 and you get sent down to Triple-A. You kind of know you should retire.
So I guess he’s not suspended; must have won his appeal like Braun.
