Also in the article, Renck mentions that the Rox will watch free-agent Noah Lowry throw in the near future.

31-year-old power hitter Josh Phelps is among four players who signed minor league contracts with the Rockies yesterday, according to Jack Etkin. Also on the list are outfielders Alex Escobar and Bronson Sardinha, as well as former Rockies reliever Chris Gissell.
