Rockies' Bret Boswell: Loses 40-man spot

The Rockies designated Boswell (ankle) for assignment Monday.

The 2017 eighth-round pick hadn't appeared in any games for Double-A Hartford since being assigned to the affiliate in early May at the conclusion of minor-league spring training. Boswell previously spent the entire 2019 campaign with Hartford, slashing .219/.290/.397 with 15 home runs in 404 plate appearances. He'll remain in the Colorado organization if none of MLB's other 29 teams put in a waiver claim for the 26-year-old.
