Bunting boo-boo sidelines Graves

Tucson - After getting tattooed, reliever Danny Graves sat out today's practice.

No, hitters didn't pummel Graves into submission. He actually received a color touchup on his many tattoos Wednesday and was sidelined with a strained left oblique muscle suffered while bunting.

Graves skipped today's bullpen session, but plans to throw Sunday. He was more annoyed by his injury than concerned since he purposely didn't take batting practice to avoid getting hurt.

"I already have two home runs (in the major leagues). I don't need any more, so I was slug bunting," Graves said. "I could have thrown today, but there was no reason to rush it. I will be fine."

DENVER (AP) - The Colorado Rockies agreed to terms with reliever Danny Graves, who pitched for Cleveland last year, on a minor-league contract.

Jeff Bridich, the team's director of baseball operations, said Wednesday the deal is pending a physical in January. "We like his history and experience as a bullpen guy," Bridich said.

The Rockies lost relievers Jose Mesa to Detroit and Ray King to Washington during the off-season. The team recently re-signed veteran Tom Martin.

"There was a need to fortify our bullpen," Bridich said
