The Rockies outrighted Machin to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.
Machin was removed from the 40-man roster last week and has since passed through waivers. Because he's been outrighted previously, Machin has the ability to decline the Rockies' outright assignment and become a free agent. However, it's unclear what the infielder's plans are.

The Rockies designated Machin for assignment Saturday.
With Jose Quintana (elbow) returning from the 60-day IL, a 40-man spot was needed, and Machin ends up as the roster casualty. Machin provides defensive versatility around the infield but little with the bat, as evidenced by his .209/.289/.269 career slash line over parts of five big-league seasons.

The Rockies optioned Machin to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.
Machin appeared in three games after being getting selected from Albuquerque on Sept. 5. He went 3-for-6 while striking out twice. He's returning to Triple-A in a corresponding move to the Rockies recalling Braxton Fulford.

The Rockies selected Machin's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday.
With Willi Castro (plantar fasciitis) moving to the injured list Saturday, Machin will join the parent club to bolster Colorado's infield depth. The 32-year-old has spent the entire season at Albuquerque, slashing .290/.371/.445 with 12 homers, 73 RBI and 61 runs scored across 488 plate appearances.

The Rockies reassigned Machin to minor-league camp Thursday.
Machin will likely begin the season at Triple-A Albuquerque after he was unable to win a utility spot on the Rockies' Opening Day roster. The 32-year-old resurfaced in the majors for the first time since 2022 as a member of the Orioles organization last season, appearing in four games and going 1-for-11 with a solo home run.

Machin agreed to a minor-league contract with the Rockies on Sunday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.
The deal includes an invitation to big-league spring training, where the 32-year-old will get the chance to compete for a utility infield role on Colorado's Opening Day roster. For the first time since 2022, Machin resurfaced in the big leagues this past season, appearing in four games for Baltimore in late August and going 1-for-11 with a solo home run and a walk. He spent the bulk of the season at Triple-A Norfolk, slashing .286/.347/.476 with 18 home runs and 15 stolen bases across 504 plate appearances.
