The Rockies expect to send back to the 10-day injured list, Bud Black told reporters after todays lo s to the Reds (video relayed by Patrick Lyons). The Colorado manager said Bryants rib sorene s didnt really respond to treatment, nece sitating the IL trip. writes that first baseman is likely to be recalled in a corresponding move. Itll be Bryants second IL stint Jordan Clarkson Jersey of 2024 and the seventh of the first two and a half seasons on his $182MM free agent deal. The former MVP was plagued by left foot injuries in 2022-23. He lost a month of this year to a lower back strain. This most recent injury occurred over the weekend as he caught a foul ball up against the wall. Around the injury absences, Bryant has struggled to make an impact. Hes hitting .186/.307/.279 in 101 plate appearances this year. He has appeared in 146 games and tallied 617 trips to the plate in a Rockies uniform. In what e sentially amounts to one full seasons worth of games, he has a .247/.331/.385 line in MLBs most favorable hitters park. Bryant spent most of his defensive work in the corner outfield between 2022-23. The Rockies moved him primarily to first base this season in an effort to keep him healthy. has drawn into the lineup at first base for the past few games. He and Toglia are set to split the position while Bryant is out of action. Montero hasnt provided any kind of impact offensively, struggling to a .213/.279/.303 slash over 197 plate appearances. The Rox have kept him on the MLB roster because hes out of options, meaning theyd need to expose him to waivers before they could send him back to Triple-A. They have the leeway to continue giving Montero at-bats that a more competitive team wouldnt be able to offer, but it stands to reason theyll need to see more out of the 25-year-old fairly soon if theyre going to carry him all year.
