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 in 2022.
• The 33-year-old has struggled offensively this season, batting just .154 with no home runs and one RBI in 11 games as a designated hitter.
• Bryant’s ongoing back issues and limited availability have fueled scrutiny of his seven-year, $182 million contract with Colorado.
• The Rockies have adjusted their roster by calling up catcher Braxton Fulford from Triple-A Albuquerque and moving pitcher Jeff Criswell to the 60-day IL.
• There is no clear treatment plan or timeline for Bryant's return, deepening concerns about his long-term role with the team.
