Report: Rockies reinstating OF Kris Bryant from IL The Colorado Rockies are reinstating outfielder Kris Bryant from the injured list Friday, the Denver Post reported
Will be activated Friday Bryant (heel) will be activated from the injured list Friday, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.
Impact Despite being sidelined since late May due to another flareup of left foot discomfort, Bryant needed only one minor-league rehab game to prove his health. He will be back in the Rockies' starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the visiting Tigers, though there should be a built-in expectation that he's going to need regular days off moving forward. The 31-year-old has appeared in just 92 games for Colorado since inking a seven-year, $182 million contract with the club in March 2022.

Rehab already complete? Bryant (heel) is not in the lineup at Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday.
Impact Bryant was expected to play at least two games on the farm, but the indication from the Albuquerque Isotopes' social media accounts is that he is already en route to Denver after going 1-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in his rehab debut Wednesday. Out since late May due to a left heel bruise, Bryant now appears likely to return to the Rockies' active roster ahead of Friday's series opener against the Tigers.

Ready for rehab games Bryant (heel) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Wednesday with Triple-A Albuquerque.
Impact Bryant has been on the injured list for all of June due to a left heel bruise, which is very likely related to his year-long battle with plantar fasciitis. He seems to be trending in the right direction now, though, and would appear on track return to the Rockies around the first week of July. When healthy this season, the 31-year-old has slashed .263/.346/.374 with five homers and 17 RBI in 50 games.

Ramping up activities Bryant (heel) played catch, hit and did some light running Sunday, MLB.com reports.
Impact Bryant is traveling with the Rockies and will ramp up his activity level further Monday in Cincinnati. There remains no timetable for the outfielder's return, but he seems to be trending in a positive direction as he works his way back from a left heel bruise. Bryant has been sidelined for all of June and will probably need a couple rehab games before being activated.

Begins baseball activities Bryant (heel) is scheduled to play catch Tuesday in Denver, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.
Impact Bryant could also take part in pregame batting practice, though he has not yet been cleared for running. The 31-year-old was placed on the injured list June 1, retroactive to May 31, following an apparent flareup of plantar fasciitis in his left foot -- labeled by the Rockies as a left heel bruise. It will probably be a touch-and-go type of recovery process after Bryant was limited to 42 games in 2022, partly due to lingering left foot issues.

Rockies' Kris Bryant on IL with heel bruise Through 50 games this season, Bryant is hitting just .263 with 11 extra-base hits.
JUNE 1, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM
Goes on IL with heel bruise Bryant was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to May 31, with a left heel bruise.
Impact Bryant battled plantar fasciitis in his left foot last year while appearing in only 42 total games for the Rockies, so this latest injury diagnosis comes with a lot of red flags. The 31-year-old managed to stay healthy through the first two months of the 2023 campaign but holds a relatively disappointing .263/.346/.374 batting line over 214 plate appearances. Charlie Blackmon was activated from the bereavement list Thursday in a corresponding roster move.

Resting Saturday Bryant will sit Saturday against the Mets, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Impact Bryant sits for the second time in five games. he's fallen into a bit of a slump, going 2-for-24 over his last seven games, though he's struck out just twice over that stretch, so the hits should start falling soon. Harold Castro will be the right fielder Saturday.

In that span, he's also driven in six and scored three runs. Bryant has reached base at a solid clip -- he's maintained a .297 average and .370 on-base percentage -- though he has only a .129 ISO across 173 plate appearances this season.

Hits fifth home run of season Bryant went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Sunday's 13-6 victory over the Mets.
Impact Bryant tied the game at 3-3 with an RBI single in the third and gave the Rockies a 5-4 lead in the fifth with a two-run home run, his fifth of the season. Durability has been an issue for Bryant recently, as he hasn't played over 100 games since 2019, but when he's been available, he's been a quality producer for Colorado in limited action.
MAY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Mashes fourth homer of year Bryant went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Brewers.
Impact Bryant crushed a 448-foot long ball to extend Colorado's lead to 6-0 in the seventh inning. The former Cub now has hits in six of his last seven games. The outfielder, who hasn't played over 100 games since 2019, still has to prove he can maintain his durability over the entire season. However, the 31-year-old is off to a solid start, slashing .299/.370/.449.

Gets breather against D-Backs Bryant is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Impact Bryant has appeared in 26 of Colorado's 28 games, but will begin this contest on the bench for a much deserved breather. Charlie Blackmon will get the start in right with Bryant sitting while Mike Moustakas will hit sixth as the designated hitter.

Returns to lineup Bryant (lower body) is in the lineup for Monday's game in Cleveland, batting third and playing right field, Suzie Hunter of TheDNVR.com reports.
Impact Bryant suffered a lower-body injury Saturday and sat out Sunday's loss to the Phillies, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go Monday. The 31-year-old has put up an .810 OPS with three home runs this season, with all three of those bombs coming over his last nine contests.

Sitting out series finale Bryant (lower body) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.
Impact Charlie Blackmon will spell Bryant in right field in the series finale after the latter player exited Saturday's 4-3 loss with a lower-body injury. Rockies manager Bud Black clarified after the game that Bryant isn't dealing with an aggravation of the back issue that forced him to the injured list on two occasions last season, but the 31-year-old is being viewed as day-to-day after experiencing pain in his sacroiliac joint and glute during an awkward swing in his first at-bat Saturday. More clarity on Bryant's status should arrive prior to the Rockies' series opener in Cleveland on Monday.

Impact Initial speculation was that Bryant was dealing with an ankle injury, but he's apparently battling a separate issue. The Rockies are seemingly unconcerned that his latest injury is related to the back issues which cost him a substantial portion of last season, however.

Exits with potential ankle issue Bryant exited Saturday's game against the Phillies with an apparent ankle injury, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Impact The Rockies have yet to announce the reason for Bryant's removal, but he appeared to roll his ankle while striking out in the first inning. The Rockies will certainly be hoping this isn't a long-term issue for Bryant, who missed 120 games last season in the first year of his seven-year, $182 million deal.

Homers again Bryant went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Pirates.

Bryant is also in the midst of a solid six-game stretch during which he's collected multiple hits in three contests while driving in three and scoring five runs. After an injury-plagued 2022 campaign, Bryant has started the new season well by hitting .314/.368/.500 across 76 plate appearances.
