Rockies Reinstate Ryan Feltner From 60-Day IL, Outright Sam Hilliard
Briefly

Ryan Feltner has been reinstated from the 60-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque, while outfielder Sam Hilliard has been sent outright to Triple-A. Feltner made Colorado's Opening Day rotation for three consecutive years and was the most effective starting pitcher last season. His optioning is viewed as a continued rehab assignment after struggling during recent outings. Hilliard may reject the outright assignment, but he is likely to accept it, continuing his role as lefty-batting depth for the Rockies organization.

Feltner has been part of Colorado's Opening Day rotation for the past three years and was the team's most effective starting pitcher last season.
Feltner's optioning appears more like a continued rehab assignment as he has not been sharp in three rehab outings with the Isotopes.
Hilliard has the option to reject his outright assignment, but it seems likely he will accept and continue providing lefty-batting outfield depth.
