SAN FRANCISCO – The Colorado Rockies placed closer Brian Fuentes on the bereavement list Tuesday and recalled Steven Register from Triple-A Colorado Springs.

Fuentes earned his 26th save of the season in Colorado's 4-2 win over San Francisco on Monday, but left the team a day later to be with his family. He can stay on the bereavement list three to seven days but Rockies manager Clint Hurdle is not putting a timetable on Fuentes' return.

“When it's family issues I don't push it,” Hurdle said. “He just needs to get back to his family and he'll come back when he can.”

Register was 5-3 with 16 saves and a 3.32 ERA for Colorado Springs. The right-hander was called up from the minors earlier this month and struck out the only batter he faced against Washington on Aug. 4 before being optioned back.
