Rockies place Kris Bryant (back) on IL again
The Colorado Rockies placed left fielder Kris Bryant on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a lower-back strain, retroactive to May 23.
What It Means:
Bryant will be eligible to return on June 2. He was just reinstated from the IL last weekend after missing more than three weeks with a back problem. The Rockies recalled right-handed pitcher Ryan Feltner from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding roster move. Yonathan Daza should see the largest uptick in playing time while Bryant is unavailable. He is starting in center field on Wednesday afternoon versus the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Bryant is averaging 8.0 FanDuel points per game while slashing .270/.342/.333 through 73 plate appearances (17 games). His 26.0% hard-hit rate is a career-low and down from a 37.5% career average.
