KRIS BRYANT NEWS

Powers offense Friday Bryant went 3-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs, a double and a walk in Friday's 6-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Bryant opened the scoring in the first inning with a homer, and he added another long ball in the seventh. All three of his homers this season have come in the last four contests as he finally looks healthy and comfortable with his new team. The 30-year-old is up to a .301/.362/.456 slash line with nine RBI, 20 runs scored and seven doubles through 27 games, and he could be poised for a big second half of the campaign.

Hits first homer with new team Bryant went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Bryant got the Rockies back within two runs with his sixth-inning blast, which was his first homer of the year. The lack of power has been mostly due to injury issues that have left the 30-year-old limited to 24 games this year. He's showing signs of heating up lately, going 9-for-21 (.429) in his last five games. Overall, Bryant is slashing .293/.350/.380 with six RBI, 16 runs scored and five doubles this season.

Receives Sunday off Bryant is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Bryant appears to be receiving a routine maintenance day following his recent return from his second stint on the injured list of the season. After being activated Monday, Bryant started in five consecutive games in left field or at designated hitter and went 7-for-21 with a walk, four runs and an RBI. Connor Joe will replace Bryant in left field for the series finale.

Racks up three hits Bryant went 3-for-5 with an RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 11-7 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Bryant was part of the Rockies' sixth-inning rally, knocking an RBI single and scoring on a Charlie Blackmon double. In five games since returning from the injured list, Bryant is 7-for-21 (.333), though all of his hits in that span have been singles. The 30-year-old is hitting .286/.347/.333 in 95 plate appearances while adding five RBI, 15 runs scored and four doubles, but he's still looking for his first home run for Colorado.

Scores twice Bryant went 2-for-4 with two runs scored Wednesday against the Dodgers.

Impact Bryant made his third consecutive start since being activated from the injured list. He grounded into a double play in the first inning but followed that up with a pair of singles. Bryant went 3-for-12 with a walk across Colorado's three-game set with the Dodgers and has shown no signs of aggravating the back injury that sidelined him for much of the first half of the season.

Impact Bryant was activated from the injured list Monday and made his first start in over a month. He has been limited to only 18 games this season due to a nagging back injury. Bryant was able to man left field in his return, offering some hope that he is back at full strength and will be a more consistent presence in Colorado's lineup across the second half of the season.

Activated Monday, as expected The Rockies reinstated Bryant (back) from the 10-day injured list Monday. He'll start in left field and bat third in the Rockies' series opener against the Dodgers.

Impact The Rockies have yet to see much of their new $182 million man this year, as a pair of trips to the injured list have limited him to just 17 games. He has just one hit and seven strikeouts across four rehab appearances, but he's nonetheless considered ready to return to the big leagues. His .270/.342/.333 slash line thus far for his new team is merely good for an 80 wRC+, so the Rockies will hope to see much more from him going forward.

Impact Bryant has gone 1-for-13 with a double, two walks and two runs during his four-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque, and he's now set to return after spending essentially the past two months on the shelf. The 30-year-old initially returned from the back injury in late May but moved back to the injured list after only three games. Fresh off signing a seven-year, $182 million deal with the Rockies in March, Bryant has played in only 17 games and has a .270/.342/.333 slash line with zero home runs, four RBI and 11 runs scored.

Manager Bud Black said Bryant hasn't suffered a setback in his recovery, and the team just wants to provide him "a few more games to get ready."

Plays five innings Bryant (back) played five innings in left field during a rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

Impact Bryant started the game and went 0-for-3 with a strikeout. The results don't particularly matter, but it was a positive indication that he appeared in the outfield during his first game action since hitting the injured list. Bryant is hoping to return during the Rockies' upcoming series at Minnesota.

Rehab assignment starts Tuesday Bryant (back) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday at Triple-A Albuquerque, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact The Rockies are planning on having Bryant play two or three games with Albuquerque, and if all goes well, he'll return from the 10-day injured list ahead of Friday's series opener in Minnesota. In between his two stints on the IL on account of back issues, Bryant has produced a .270/.342/.333 slash line in 73 plate appearances during his first season in Colorado.

Hopes to return next weekend Bryant (back) is hopeful that he'll be able to rejoin the Rockies at some point during their road series against the Twins next weekend, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Bryant is expected to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Albuquerque in the coming days, and it seems likely that he'll appear in several minor-league games prior to rejoining the Rockies. However, it's encouraging that he has a clear timetable to return to game action after being on the injured list for several weeks.

May go on weekend rehab assignment Bryant (back) took batting practice on the field Thursday and could head out on a rehab assignment this weekend, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Bryant most recently took BP on Tuesday, so the fact that he was able to face off against pitching again two days later is a good sign that he's continuing to make solid progress in his recovery from a back strain. Though the injury has now forced Bryant to the 10-day injured list on two occasions this season, the Rockies likely won't have him play more than a few games in the minors prior to activating him. If he does in fact start a rehab assignment this weekend, Bryant could be ready to rejoin the Rockies for the start of their six-game road trip that begins Tuesday in Miami.
