Kris Bryant Unable to Resume Baseball Activities
Colorado Rockies first baseman/outfielder Kris Bryant (back) said the pain in his back hasn't allowed him to start baseball activities this spring, but he continues to consult with doctors and trainers to see what can get him back to playing, according to Thomas Harding of MLB.com. Bryant is not retiring and will stick with his rehab. The 34-year-old veteran has played in just 170 games over four seasons since he signed a seven-year, $182 million deal with the club in March of 2022. He's dealing with a lumbar degenerative disc disease. The Rockies already placed Bryant on the 60-day injured list, and it's unclear when he might be ready to play baseball again in 2026. The former MVP and Rookie of the Year played in just 11 games for Colorado last year, going 6-for-39 (.154) with no homers and 13 strikeouts. His injuries in recent years continue to sap him offensively. Stay away at all costs in fantasy drafts.
