Warren Schaeffer is taking over as the interim manager of the Colorado Rockies.

Schaeffer, drafted by the Rockies in the 38th round of the 2007 draft out of Virginia Tech, was a utility infielder in the minors, playing 459 games over six seasons. He made it as high as Triple-A but never played in the majors.

The Rockies got off to the second-worst 40-game start in MLB history (7-33), only surpassed by the 1988 Baltimore Orioles.
