Rockies' David Dahl out a week or two with back injury

Colorado Rockies outfield David Dahl (back) will miss at least the next week or two with back soreness, according to ESPN.

What It Means:

Initially believed to be out just a few days, manager Bud Black now says the 22-year-old outfield will be out at least a week or two but that Dahl doesn't have an official timetable for a return. He will undergo scans and tests on his back soon to find out what is going on. Dahl is battling Gerardo Parra for the Rockies' starting left field position.

Dahl had a great start to his career last season as he batted .315 with 7 home runs, 24 runs batted in, and 5 steals in just 222 at bats in 2016.
