Xzavion Curry: Everything you need to know

The Rockies signed Curry to a minor-league contract Sunday and assigned him to Triple-A Albuquerque. Curry briefly worked out of the Miami bullpen early in the season, but he was dropped from the 40-man roster April 14 before being released just under two months later. He then signed with Mexican League club Tigres de Quintana Roo on July 1 but was granted his release to pursue an opportunity with the Rockies. He'll likely serve as a swingman at Albuquerque and could earn a call-up to Colorado before season's end if the big club has a need for a spot starter or long man out of the bullpen.

Curry was sent outright to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday. Curry was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Friday and will now report to Triple-A after going unclaimed on waivers. He'll provide Miami with bullpen depth, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him back in the big leagues at some point later in the year.

The Marlins designated Curry for assignment Friday. A spot on the 40-man roster was needed for the addition of catcher Rob Brantly. Curry has yielded four runs (two earned) over three innings out of the Marlins' bullpen this season. He has previously been outrighted off the 40-man roster, so Curry will have the option to elect free agency if he clears waivers again.
