Colorado Rockies: The Colorado Rockies placed left-hander Denny Neagle on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday because of inflammation in his troublesome elbow.

Neagle, who missed the first 71 games of the season with stiffness in his left elbow, was forced out of Sunday's start at San Francisco after allowing seven runs and seven hits in four innings. An MRI exam Monday revealed more wear and tear than the previous MRI, according to manager Clint Hurdle.

"There are two options. Surgery is one, the other to just let it settle down and eventually get him into some type of rehab program,'' Hurdle said. "But his ability to pitch again this season is in jeopardy. He's seeking a second opinion, which we encouraged him to do, because it's his decision on what course of action he wants to take.''

Neagle, who is 2-4 with a 7.90 ERA in seven starts, was placed on the disabled list retroactive to July 21. He spent time on the 15- and 60-day DLs before being activated June 17.

To fill Neagle's roster spot, the Rockies recalled outfielder Rene Reyes from Triple-A Colorado Springs. Reyes, a switch-hitter, leads the Pacific Coast League with 127 hits and is third with a .343 batting average.

Chicago Cubs: Outfielder Tom Goodwin injured his left hamstring while running out a double in the third inning Tuesday night against the Atlanta Braves and left the game.

The injury was diagnosed as a strained left hamstring, and the Cubs said Goodwin was day to day. He grabbed his hamstring when he was about two steps from second base. He limped off the field and was replaced by Trenidad Hubbard.

Goodwin went 5-for-6 in Monday night's 15-6 win over Atlanta, matching his career high for hits in a game.

Florida Marlins: Right-hander Jeff Allison signed his contract with the Marlins on Tuesday, four days after the first-round draft pick agreed to the deal.

Allison, 18, went 8-0 and didn't allow an earned run in 63 1/3 innings this season as a high school senior in Peabody, Mass. He was the 16th player taken in the draft.

He had a 15-minute bullpen session, surrounded by media, coaches and Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria. Allison said he wouldn't set unreasonable goals for himself, backing off the prediction he made after being drafted that he would "make the All-Star team in two or three years.''

"I was just happy the day I was drafted,'' said Allison, who went 24-3 in his high school career with 378 strikeouts in 199 1-3 innings. "The adrenaline was running and I didn't mean what I said.''
