Lands on IL with back strain The Rockies placed Bryant on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a back strain, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. Impact It marks the third time this season that Bryant has landed on the injured list, and the second instance it has been due to a back injury. Since coming off his last stint on the IL on July 23 due to a left oblique strain, Bryant has slashed .277/.352/.340 with five RBI and a 31.5 percent strikeout rate across 53 plate appearances. With Bryant on the shelf, the Rockies recalled outfielder Jordan Beck from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move.
