Kris Bryant, the Rockies’ oft-injured first baseman and right fielder, is back on the 10-day injured list with a low back strain, the club announced Wednesday. Bryant’s stint on the injured list is retroactive to April 14. To replace Bryant on the 26-man roster, the Rockies recalled outfielder Sean Bouchard from Triple-A Albuquerque.
