Today's Outrights: LaPorta, Lillibridge, Rockies

Teams have until tonight at 10:59 PM CST to set their 40-man rosters before the Rule 5 draft, hence explaining the flurry of transactions around the majors today.  Here are the players who have been outrighted off their teams' 40-man rosters, with the most recent at the top of the page (all roster moves were announced by the teams unless otherwise stated)....

• The Indians outrighted Matt LaPorta and Brent Lillibridge to Triple-A Columbus.  According to MLB.com's Jordan Bastian (via Twitter), Lillibridge has the option to refuse the assignment and become a free agent.
• The Rockies have outrighted Andrew Brown and Matt McBride to Triple-A Colorado Springs.
• The Astros have outrighted infielder Scott Moore to Triple-A Oklahoma City.  Moore has the option of accepting the assignment or electing free agency.
• Cubs right-hander Carlos Gutierrez has cleared waivers and been assigned outright to Triple-A Iowa.
