San Diego, CA (Sports Network) - The Colorado Rockies sent scuffling pitcher Mark Redman to the minor leagues on Sunday, calling up Greg Reynolds to start their game against the San Diego Padres.

The 34-year-old left-hander, who is 2-3 with a 7.84 earned run average in seven games (six starts) this season, was optioned to Triple-A Colorado Springs. Redman owns a 68-83 career record with a 4.83 earned run average in 216 games throughout parts of his 10 major league seasons.

Reynolds went 1-2 with a 4.86 ERA in seven starts for the Sky Sox this season, his first at the Triple-A level. Sunday was the first major league start for the right-hander, the second overall pick in the 2006 draft out of Stanford.
