The Colorado Rockies reinstated center fielder Brenton Doyle from the bereavement list on Wednesday.

In corresponding moves, the Rockies optioned fellow outfielder Zac Veen to Albuquerque and assigned left-hander Evan Justice outright to the Triple-A club after he cleared waivers.

Doyle, 26, is batting .315 with three home runs and 12 RBIs in 13 games this season. He also has been slowed with a quadriceps injury and hasn't started a game since April 10.

Veen, 23, made his major league debut on April 8 and hit .118 with a homer and two RBIs in 12 games. The Rockies selected Veen with the No. 9 overall pick in the 2020 draft.
