Colorado infielder Kaz Matsui was placed on the 15-day disabled list Sunday due to back spasms. Matsui started at second base Saturday night and went 2-for-3 before leaving the contest in the fifth inning due to the back problem. Acquired in a trade from the Mets last June, Matsui was off to a big start offensively with a .361 average in nine games this year. The Rockies replaced Matsui's roster spot by calling up infielder Clint Barmes from Triple-A Colorado Springs.
Clint Barmes batted .220 last year with 56 RBI's and 7 HR. Barmes is not known to swing a heavy stick but is merely relied on for his speed on the base paths and solid fielding.
