Colorado Rockies: A flurry of injury updates Colorado Rockies manager Bud Black updated the media, including Rox Pile, with a slew of injury updates before Sunday's series finale with t...
Carlos Estévez - Not close to return Estevez (finger) has yet to resume playing catch and won't be activated from the 10-day injured list when eligible Monday, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.
Impact The Rockies hope the right-hander will be able to play catch soon, as he's apparently been shut down from throwing since landing on the injured list with a finger strain at the start of May. Estevez figures to be at least a few weeks away from returning from the shelf since he'll likely need to build up his arm after being unable to throw.
