Veteran player Jason Giambi will interview for the Rockies vacant managerial job, though no date has been set. He will be the last in-house candidate before the Rockies talk to other candidates. There is no timetable for a hiring.

Assistant general manager Bill Geivett said Monday that the Rockies will look outside the organization, but “we haven’t begun narrowing that list at this point.”

Giambi, 41, has never coached at any level. He underwent hernia surgery last week to keep open the option of playing in 2013, delaying a potential meeting with Rockies executives. Though he has no experience running a team, Giambi has worked with Rockies players on their hitting and talked strategy frequently with former field boss Jim Tracy.

The Rockies met for two days last week with bench coach Tom Runnells, interviewing him for the managerial position. Triple-A manager Stu Cole remains a candidate for a coaching position, but not the Rockies’ top spot.

No interview is planned for Vinny Castilla at this point. Castilla, one of the most accomplished players in team history, is a special assistant to general manager Dan O’Dowd and served as Mexico’s manager in the World Baseball Classic.

There’s no sense of urgency for the Rockies because only one other team — the Red Sox — has a managerial opening. The most-mentioned names in the industry for first-time managers include Tim Wallach, the Dodgers’ third-base coach; Sandy Alomar Jr., who played briefly with the Rockies; longtime catcher Brad Ausmus, who is working as a special assistant for the Padres; and Rays assistant Dave Martinez.

The Red Sox interviewed former Royals manager and Yankees coach Tony Peña on Monday and will meet with Ausmus on Wednesday. Wallach interviewed with Boston last week.

Footnotes: Tyler Chatwood made his second Arizona Fall League start Monday. … The Rockies are expected to find out this week if Jorge De La Rosa will pitch in winter ball. Jhoulys Chacin, who has thrown in the instructional league, and Juan Nicasio, who has been throwing side sessions in Scottsdale, Ariz., will participate.
