  • Also dealing with oblique strain
    In addition to a left rib contusion, Bryant has an internal oblique strain and is without a timetable for return, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports Saturday.

    Advice: Initially, Bryant missed three straight games due to back soreness, but when he was placed on the 10-day IL on June 6th, the medical staff deemed the injury a left rib contusion. Nine days later, it's now known that Bryant is also battling an oblique strain and a timeline for return hasn't been established. Charlie Blackmon has been the Rockies' preferred DH since Bryant went down while Jake Cave (head) and Michael Toglia have seen more playing time in the outfield. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago

  • Kris Bryant also dealing with oblique strain
    Rockies’ manager Bud Black told reporters on Saturday that in addition to the rib injury that landed him on the injured list, Kris Bryant is also dealing with an oblique strain.

    Advice: The 32-year-old slugger already didn’t have a timeline for his potential return, but now it’ll be substantially longer before he’s cleared to return. Bryant has hit a pitiful .106/.143/.362 with four homers, eight RBI and a 20/1 K/BB ratio across 49 plate appearances with the Rockies this season. Rotoworld 51 minutes ago

  • Triston Casas (rib) takes dry swings on Saturday
    Triston Casas (rib) was able to take dry swings for the first time on Saturday without any issue.

    Advice: It’s unclear how many times he’ll have to repeat the process before he’s able to face live pitching, but it’s encouraging to hear that he’s swinging the bat once again. The 24-year-old slugger is hopeful that he’ll be able to return in early July. Rotoworld Today, 1:59 pm

  • Wilyer Abreu (ankle) sprinting at full speed
    Red Sox’ manager Alex Cora told reporters on Saturday that Wilyer Abreu (ankle) is now sprinting at full speed.

    Advice: The 24-year-old outfielder is expected to be ready for a minor league rehab assignment early next week, and should only need a couple of games to get his timing back before he’s ready to rejoin the Red Sox’ lineup. Before landing on the injured list in early June, Abreu had been hitting .272/.344/.485 with six homers, 22 RBI and seven stolen bases through his first 189 plate appearances.
