Paulsen was outrighted to Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday.
The Rockies outrighted both Paulsen and Rafael Ynoa on Thursday just two days after designating them for assignment. Paulsen remains in the Rockies' organization, but he's no longer on the 40-man roster and is unlikely to be back up with the big league club this season. He had an opportunity to lock in an everyday role with the Rockies this season but he notched a .217/.258/.304 slash line that forced manager Walt Weiss to look in a different direction at first base.
