Kris Bryant To See Limited Outfield Opportunities
According to Thomas Harding of MLB.com, the Colorado Rockies have focused on ensuring that outfielder Kris Bryant remains healthy during the 2025 season. During the offseason, Bryant focused on improving his flexibility and core strength. Harding noted that the team is exploring several ways to limit his activity, including only putting him in the outfield when on the road and not at home, given Coors Field's dimensions. As a result, Bryant will likely be penciled in as the team's DH when at home. Since joining the Rockies in 2022, the former NL MVP has only logged a high of 80 games during the 2023 season. During 2022 and 2024, Bryant logged 42 games or less. Last season, he battled back and oblique injuries. In addition, with Bryant likely shifting to a part-time DH role, Harding noted that this could open a path for outfield prospect Zac Veen to reach the majors sooner than expected. In his limited stint last season, Bryant held a .218/.323/.301 line with just two home runs. Given his extensive injury history, he should only be targeted in deeper NL-only formats.
