The Rockies have designated Eric Young Jr. for assignment, according to Troy Renck of the Denver Post (on Twitter). The move will allow the Rockies to activate right-hander Chris Volstad.
The outfielder posted a .316/.377/.448 slash line in 196 plate appearances last year but hasn't found the same success in 2013. In 180 PAs this year, the 28-year-old has hit .242/.290/.352 with one homer. Young has experience at all three outfield positions as well as 49 games at second base.
