The Rockies optioned Chivilli to Double-A Hartford on Monday.
Chivilli received his second big-league call-up of the season June 3, and over his five appearances in the majors, he gave up five runs on eight hits while striking out two over 5.1 innings. He was sent back to Double-A to clear room on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen for right-hander Jake Bird (elbow), who was reinstated from the 15-day injured list.

The Rockies recalled Chivilli from Double-A Hartford on Monday.
Colorado optioned right-hander Peter Lambert to Triple-A Albuquerque to make room in the bullpen for Chivilli, who is joining the big club for the second time this season.

Over his nine relief appearances following his demotion to Double-A, Chivilli turned in a 2.61 ERA while racking up 21 strikeouts in 10.1 innings.
