Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Optioned to Triple-A level

Doyle was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque by the Rockies on Tuesday.

Rockies general manager Bill Schmidt suggested last month that Doyle could be a candidate for the Opening Day roster, but the 24-year-old outfielder had failed to show much power in the Cactus League while also tallying 12 strikeouts across his 28 at-bats. He posted 26 homers and 23 stolen bases in 132 games last season between Double-A and Triple-A.
