According to Steve Foster of insidetherockies.com, Colorado has designated Brad Eldred for assignment to make room for shortstop Troy Tulowitzki. Tulowitzki has returned form the disabled list after breaking a bone in his left hand in June.

Eldred hit .250 with one home run and three RBIs since he was recalled July 7. If Eldred clears waivers, he will return to Triple-A Colorado Springs.
