Kris Bryant Preparing To Play First Base Upon Return
8 months agoColorado Rockies designated hitter/outfielder Kris Bryant (finger) has been taking some throws during batting practice with his first-base glove while protecting his fractured left index finger. He is also hitting off a tee. The 31-year-old hopes for his next X-rays, which should come early next week, allow him to increase baseball activity. The Rockies have discussed with Bryant about playing first base upon his return, perhaps in an effort to have the oft-injured star defend a less demanding position. Bryant, who has been on the injured list since July 22, remains without a return timeline and will not be rushed back amid a lost Rockies season.
