Eliezer Alfonzo has joined Triple-A Albuquerque. Alfonzo signed a minor league deal with the Dodgers over the winter, but he was unable to report to major league camp this spring because he had dengue fever. However, he's now back 100 percent and was recently playing in the Mexican League. The 34-year-old backstop will serve as organizational depth with Los Angeles.

Eliezer Alfonzo will not be in major league camp with the Dodgers because he has dengue fever. Dengue fever is an infectious tropical disease which is spread by mosquitoes. He is currently in Venezuela and is not permitted to fly for 5-7 days. Once he's back to full health, he will report to minor league camp. Per Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times, Matt Wallach will replace him in big league camp.

Rockies released C Eliezer Alfonzo. Alfonzo was outrighted off the Rockies' 40-man roster last month and then had his 100-game PED suspension overturned due to procedural concerns. The 33-year-old backstop owns a .240/.271/.377 batting line over 624 plate appearances in the majors.

Rockies sent C Eliezer Alfonzo outright to Triple-A Colorado springs. Alfonzo was designated for assignment earlier this week and passed through waivers with ease. He's serving a 100-game suspension for a second positive PED test.

The move clears a spot on the Rockies' 40-man roster, presumably for left-hander Christian Friedrich, who is scheduled to start Wednesday against the Padres. Alfonzo is currently serving a 100-game suspension for a second positive test for a performance-enhancing drug. The 33-year-old backstop batted .267/.304/.320 with one home run and nine RBI over 79 plate appearances with the Rockies last season.

MLB suspended Eliezer Alfonzo for 100 games after a second positive test for a performance-enhancing drug. Alfonzo was previously suspended in April of 2008 as a member of the Giants. He joins Manny Ramirez as the only players to test positive twice for PEDs. "I am surprised by this positive test. I learned my lesson in 2008 and have not taken any prohibited substances since then," Alfonzo said in a statement. "With the union's help I intend to fight this suspension." Alfonzo, who is currently on the Rockies' active roster, is batting .267/.304/.320 with one home run and nine RBI over 79 plate appearances this season.

Eliezer Alfonzo hit his first major league grand slam and plated a fifth run with a bases-loaded walk Saturday in the Rockies' 10-6 win over the Padres. Alfonzo, who took over as Chris Iannetta's backup a couple of weeks ago, was making his fifth start for the Rockies. The homer was his 17th as a big leaguer, but he has just five since a fine rookie season with the Giants in 2006.

He can be ignored in fantasy leagues.
