The Colorado Rockies have designated Jose Reyes for assignment.

"At the end of the day we felt that it was best that we part ways; best for the direction of the organization, best for what was going on in the clubhouse and best for Jose," Jeff Bridich said.

The Rockies reinstated Reyes from the restricted list before making the move. He had been on the list since being suspended under the league's domestic violence policy.

Colorado now has 10 days to either trade him, release him or have him accept a demotion to the minors.
