Rockies' Riley Pint: Optioned to Albuquerque

The Rockies optioned Pint to Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday.

Pint will head back to the minors after surrendering four earned runs in just two-thirds of an inning Wednesday against Arizona. He owns a 3.10 ERA through 29 frames in Triple-A and could still be an option to return to Colorado's bullpen later in the season, but he'll likely need to turn in some positive results in the minors first.
