Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Headed to injured list

Rockies manager Bud Black said Monday that Feltner will be placed on Triple-A Albuquerque's 7-day injured list due to back soreness, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Feltner was a candidate to receive a call-up to start Wednesday against the Dodgers in place of Antonio Senzatela (shoulder), but Jose Urena now looks on track to get the starting nod with Feltner headed to the IL. Assuming the back issue proves to be a short-term concern for Feltner, he'll receive future consideration for spot starts when the Rockies have an opening in the rotation.
