Rockies flip Butler, Flande in rotation

WASHINGTON -- After lending a hand in Wednesday's 11-inning win over Seattle, Rockies left-hander Yohan Flande's next start has been pushed back a day, manager Walt Weiss announced on Friday.

Flande is now slated to start the series finale against the Nationals on Sunday, and right-hander Eddie Butler will be moved up to Saturday.

"Having the off-day [Thursday] allowed us to rearrange it a little bit," Weiss said. "Give Flande an extra day. He would've been fine throwing on Saturday, but we figured since we have the opportunity to give him an extra day we're going to do it.
