Barnes has accepted his assignment to Triple-A Albuquerque.

EDGE Analysis

Barnes was designated for assignment on July 25 after the Rockies called up outfield prospect David Dahl. With Dahl having success with the Rockies, it's hard to see a scenario where Barnes comes back up to Colorado without an injury to a current outfielder. With the trade deadline approaching it looks like the Rockies are going to stand pat with Charlie Blackmon and Carlos Gonzalez.
