Quintanilla has signed with the Rockies, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.

This is likely a minor league deal for Quintanilla, who hit .207 with no real power last season for the Mets. His likely role with Colorado amounts to "back-up for Troy Tulowitzki's backup," spending most of his time in the minors.

Mets sent SS Omar Quintanilla outright to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Quintanilla passed through waivers unclaimed and will head to Triple-A where he'll serve as additional depth for the Mets. He hit just .207/.258/.241 with three RBI in 29 at-bats with the Mets.

Mets designated SS Omar Quintanilla for assignment.

Quintanilla was starting back-to-back games for the Mets as recently as Monday, but they apparently decided they've got better options for the 40-man roster between then and now. Quintanilla was hitting .207/.258/.241 in 29 at-bats this year. A corresponding roster move will be announced tomorrow.

Omar Quintanilla made his second straight start at shortstop for the Mets on Monday, but he ended up going 0-for-3 and committing an error.

Pity the poor fantasy leaguer with a vested interest in the Mets' shortstop situation, but it's safe to say that Ruben Tejada's job is very much up for grabs. One wonders if the Mets will just punt defense and call up Wilmer Flores to play the position.

Mets selected the contract of INF Omar Quintanilla.

The 32-year-old defensive specialist will serve as the primary backup to Ruben Tejada at shortstop. He hit a meager .158/.238/.184 with eight strikeouts in 38 spring at-bats.

Mets re-signed INF Omar Quintanilla to a minor league contract.

The 32-year-old who is best known for his glove work hit a paltry .222/.306/.283 with two homers and 21 RBI in 95 games for the Mets in 2013. He was non-tendered in December to clear a spot on the 40-man roster, but will return and provide valuable organizational depth.

Mets non-tendered INF Omar Quintanilla.

Quintanilla is now free to sign with anyone. He batted just .222/.306/.283 with two home runs and 21 RBI in 359 plate appearances this past season for the Mets, but his ability to play shortstop will have teams calling.

Omar Quintanilla went 1-for-3 with two strikeouts in the Mets' loss to the Giants on Thursday.

Quintanilla is going to be in a platoon at shortstop down the stretch with youngster Wilfredo Tovar. Ruben Tejada is done for the season with a broken right fibula.

Omar Quintanilla went 1-for-3 with a walk in Thursday's loss to the Marlins.

Quintanilla started out hot this season, but he's hitting just .195 over his last 34 games. Of course, that shouldn't be a big surprise for a .222 career hitter. It's puzzling why the Mets won't call up Ruben Tejada, as he still has a chance of being a long-term contributor on the club.

Omar Quintanilla went 2-for-3 with a two-RBI triple in Tuesday's loss to the Nationals.

Quintanilla was hitting at Triple-A and hasn't stopped since arriving with the Mets, as he's tallied four straight multi-hit contests. It looks like he's going to be in the leadoff spot for the Mets for a while and is worth carrying in NL-only formats while he's not.

Mets purchased the contract of INF Omar Quintanilla from Triple-A Las Vegas.

Quintanilla will likely get regular playing time at shortstop while Ruben Tejada (quad) is on the shelf. The 31-year-old was batting .333/.419/.484 in 47 games for the Las Vegas 51s but he's a .220/.279/.302 career hitter in the majors and can be ignored in fantasy leagues.

Mets signed INF Omar Quintanilla to a minor league contract with a spring training invite.

Quintanilla appeared in 29 games with the Mets last season prior to being traded to the Orioles in July. The 31-year-old owns a .220/.279/.302 batting line in the majors and will be an underdog to beat out Brandon Hicks for a backup infielder spot.

The Orioles are hoping to re-sign Omar Quintanilla.

Quintanilla was non-tendered by the O's late last month, but the club has interest in bringing him back at a lesser rate to serve as organizational infield depth. The 31-year-old is a .220/.279/.302 career hitter.

Orioles non-tendered INF Omar Quintanilla.

Quintanilla was acquired from the Mets in July, but became expendable with the addition of Alexi Casilla. He owns a career .220/.279/.302 line and is unlikely to make a major impact during the 2013 season.

Mets designated INF Omar Quintanilla for assignment.

Quintanilla has played well in limited duty for the Mets this season, but he was cleared to make room for Jason Bay's return from the disabled list. The veteran infielder could draw interest on waivers.

Omar Quintanilla has been diagnosed with a small fracture in his left index finger but will play through the injury.

Quintanilla injured himself on a dive during Wednesday's game. It should just be a pain tolerance thing, so if he thinks he can manage it, he should be fine.

X-rays on Omar Quintanilla's left index finger inconclusive of a fracture.

Quintanilla injured the finger on a diving play in Wednesday's game, but started Thursday and went 2-for-3. He'll be further examined when the team returns to New York, but the finger remains an issue. The Mets are shorthanded in their middle infield right now, so Jordany Valdespin would fill in if Quintanilla needs to miss time.

Omar Quintanilla (finger) is in Thursday's lineup.

Quintanilla was called day-to-day after injuring his finger on a diving play Wednesday night. He may still be sore, but the Mets are low on middle infield depth and have probably asked him to play through the pain.

Another Mets shortstop goes down. Quintanilla should avoid the 15-day disabled list but may need to rest up for the next couple of games. Jordany Valdespin would fill in.

Mets signed INF Omar Quintanilla to a minor league contract.

Quintanilla went 1-for-22 with two RBI and nine strikeouts last season for the Rangers. He's capable of playing decent defense all over the infield, but the 30-year-old is no lock to make the Mets' Opening Day roster.
