The Colorado Rockies have designated Edgar Gonzalez for assignment according to the team’s official Twitter account. Left handed pitcher J.C. Romero will be taking his roster spot.

A couple of days ago, Troy Renck of the Denver Post reported that Romero was scheduled to see a doctor and that if all went well he could be active for today’s game.

Gonzalez had a 9.00 ERA in 2 innings in one apparance with the Rockies in 2011.
