LaTroy Hawkins is being moved out of Colorado's closer role for now, though manager Walt Weiss isn't ruling out the right-hander returning to ninth-inning duties. Weiss spoke with Hawkins on Monday and called it a ''breather'' for the 42-year-old, who is planning to retire after this season. We'll give him a little breather.'' Hawkins blew a save in a 6-5 loss to the Cubs on Sunday at Coors Field, surrendering a two-run homer to former Rockies player Dexter Fowler with two outs in the ninth. He expected to use Rafael Betancourt in a potential save situation Monday against the San Francisco Giants.
