Kris Bryant Dealing With Lower-Body Injury
2 years agoColorado Rockies outfielder Kris Bryant (lower body) was removed from Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies in the third inning due to a lower-body injury. Manager Bud Black said Bryant felt sharp pain in his sacroiliac joint (the lower back/gluteus area) and described it as a day-to-day thing unrelated to his previous back injury. Bryant didn't play on Sunday, though, and the Rockies are calling up outfield prospect Brenton Doyle on Monday with both Bryant and Yonathan Daza (hand) injured. It's good to know that the 31-year-old Bryant's injury is unrelated to his previous back injury, but this could still turn into an injured list situation. He's off to a strong start at the plate, hitting .288 (23-for-80) with four doubles, three home runs, six RBI and 11 runs scored in 21 games played.
