Rockies' Kris Bryant: Recovering from back injections
Rotowire
Bryant said Sunday that he recently received a couple injections to relieve inflammation in his back, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
The 33-year-old was placed on the 10-day injured list last Monday after being diagnosed with a lumbar degenerative disc disease, but he was initially expected to return after a minimum-length stay on the shelf. However, Bryant said Sunday that he could "barely move and felt nauseated" after going through exercises Saturday, so it wouldn't be surprising if he's not activated Wednesday when first eligible.

Bryant began the spring positively with a two-run home run with an exit velocity of 111.8 mph. However, he's gone just 2-for-19 with six strikeouts since. Positively, Bryant has remained healthy and is still projected to serve as Colorado's primary DH.
Bryant hit a 462-foot home run that had an 111.8 mph exit velocity during Tuesday's Cactus League game, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.
Bryant has struggled to stay on the field since joining the Rockies in 2022, though he worked on his core strength and flexibility this offseason and enters the season with renewed hope. While there should be caution in interpreting spring training results, Bryant's shot Tuesday was an impressive start to the exhibition slate. He's started both of his games at DH, another factor that could help him stay healthy during the regular season.
