SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Rockies manager Walt Weiss acknowledges the improvement in left-hander Yohan Flande this spring, but the club reassigned him to Minor League camp Saturday before the final Spring Training game.
Flande, 30, a non-roster invitee who has seen time with the big club the last two seasons, went 0-1 with a 3.21 ERA in six spring games, with 16 strikeouts and two walks in 14 innings. The Rockies were planning to finalize their roster after Saturday's game against the Mariners.
The move means the Rockies won't be forced into a decision with Flande as quickly.
