Outfielder Larry Bigbie was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained Achilles tendon.
The move is retroactive tao Sunday, when Bigbie was held out of the lineup in the Rockies' 9-7 win over the Cubs. Outfielder Choo Freeman has been recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs to take Bigbie's spot on the roster.
Bigbie has started 15 games for Colorado since being acquired from the Orioles on July 29.
