Overview

  • Kris Bryant has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to lumbar degenerative disc disease, marking his ninth IL stint since joining the Rockies.
  • The 33-year-old has struggled with persistent back problems, limiting him to fewer than 80 games in any season with Colorado.
  • Bryant is underperforming this season, hitting just .154 with no home runs through 11 games, continuing a trend of declining production.
  • The Rockies signed Bryant to a seven-year, $182 million deal in 2022, but injuries and underwhelming play have raised concerns about the contract's value.
  • In response to Bryant's absence, the Rockies have made roster adjustments, including promoting catcher Braxton Fulford and shifting Jeff Criswell to the 60-day IL.
