  • 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 Today, 3:01 pm

  • 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 Today, 2:54 pm
