Barnes was designated for assignment on Monday, Jenny Cavnar of MLB.com reports
EDGE Analysis
With Barnes out of options, the Rockies were forced to DFA Barnes instead of optioning him to the minor leagues, while David Dahl was recalled in a corresponding move. Barnes has been awful over the past 20 games, hitting .128/.150/.205 with no home runs, three RBI and one run scored.

Barnes will be designated for assignment Monday, The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barnes will cede his roster spot to 22-year-old outfielder David Dahl, who may step in as the regular left fielder. The 30-year-old Barnes could pass through waivers unclaimed, as he has 22 hits and 30 strikeouts in 100 at-bats this season.

Barnes is in the lineup and batting eighth for Monday's game against the Blue Jays, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.

Barnes is out of the lineup Sunday against the Diamondbacks, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barnes has started three of the last four games in left field, but will give way to Ryan Raburn for the afternoon matchup against Arizona. Look for the two to continue to split playing time in left until Gerardo Parra (ankle) returns, after which they will likely be limited to starts against left-handed pitching.

Barnes went 3-for-4 with a double and three runs in Saturday's 11-6 victory over the D-backs.
EDGE Analysis
Recalled from Triple-A just a little over a week ago, Barnes provided his second multi-hit effort of the season, and first since his most recent call-up. Filling in for Gerardo Parra (ankle) while the latter is on the DL, the 30-year-old is slashing .263/.300/.316 over 19 at-bats since returning to the big leagues.

Barnes was called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barnes was recalled due to Gerardo Parra landing on the 15-day DL with a high ankle sprain. The 30-year-old had been hitting .277/.333/.365 with Albuquerque, and is 6-for-31 with two doubles and one triple during his time with the Rockies this year. Barnes will get a chance to share in the outfield duties with Ryan Raburn while Parra is out.

Barnes was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
With the Rockies activating Charlie Blackmon off the DL on Friday, Barnes was the logical player to be sent down to Triple-A given the club's crowded outfield situation. Barnes slashed .194/.242/.323 with seven strikeouts in 31 at-bats during his stint with the big league club.

Barnes will lead off the lineup during Sunday's game against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Barnes usually is at the back end of the lineup when he starts, but today will lead off and start in center field while Gerardo Parra slides over to left field. He has had six hits in 21 at-bats this season, for an average of .286.

Barnes is starting center field again Monday versus the Reds, Zach Buchanan of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barnes came into the season looking like the Rockies' fifth outfielder, but he'll slot into the starting lineup once again despite the fact that right-hander Dan Straily is on the mound for the Reds. He'll bat sixth for Colorado, which could offer him a decent amount of RBI opportunities Monday night.
