Rockies’ Kris Bryant, injured again, goes on IL with back strain

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. Bryant, 32, is improving from the injury he sustained when making a catch and crashing into the right-field wall on Saturday at Rogers Center in Toronto, but the club decided he needed more time to get healthy.

Bryant, hitting .149 with one home run through 13 games this year, has missed a lot of time since signing a seven-year, $182 million contract before the 2022 season. Bryant hit well in 2022, slashing .306/.376/.475 with five home runs, but played only 42 games due to lower-back problems and plantar fasciitis in his left foot.
