Fuentes, who was away for the team for only the minimum three days, told the Rocky Mountain News he left the club on Tuesday to attend to a health issue involving his 1-year-old son, Giovanni Paolo.
The 33-year-old Fuentes, who is 1-4 with 26 saves and a 2.73 ERA in 57 games this season, will be available to pitch for the Rockies on Friday as they open a three-game set against the San Diego Padres.
In a corresponding move, Colorado optioned righthander Steven Register to Class AAA Colorado Springs.
