Colorado Rockies player Kris Bryant is back in action after being sidelined with a left oblique strain. The 32-year-old infielder/outfielder was activated off the 10-day injured list on Tuesday, marking his return to the field. In a corresponding move, outfielder Sean Bouchard was sent down to Triple-A Albuquerque.
During his time off, Bryant played in three rehab games at Triple-A and had an impressive performance, going 6-for-11 with two home runs. This bodes well for the Rockies as they welcome back a player with a strong offensive presence.
This season, Bryant has been limited to just 24 games due to various injuries. In that time, he has hit .186 with two home runs and 10 RBIs in 101 at-bats for Colorado. Despite the challenges he has faced with injuries, Bryant’s talent and experience make him a valuable asset to the team.
A former No. 2 overall pick in the 2012 draft, Bryant has had an impressive career so far. A four-time All-Star and the 2016 National League MVP with the Chicago Cubs, he is now in the third year of a seven-year, $182 million contract with the Rockies. Over his 10 seasons in the MLB, Bryant has accumulated a .274 batting average with 184 home runs and 542 RBIs in 1,030 games.
Fans of the Rockies will be eager to see Bryant back on the field and contributing to the team’s success. His return adds depth to the lineup and brings a wealth of experience to the roster. As the season progresses, Bryant’s presence will undoubtedly be felt as he continues to showcase his skills on the field.
