Corey Dickerson will be taking batting practice on Monday, according to The Denver Post.
The Colorado Rockies leftfielder has been out since late July was a non-displaced fracture in two of his ribs. It’s been a slow return for the third-year star but he’s on his way back to the main roster soon.
Corey Dickerson will take live BP today for the first time since rib injury. Said he could play tomorrow if #Rockies let him (they won't).

Dickerson, 26, has been one of the best players for the last-place Rockies this season. In only 43 games in an injury-plagued season, the outfielder owns a .315 BA with 5 HR and 18 RBI. When healthy, he’s proved that he could be one of the future stars of the NL.
"I feel like I'm a mentally strong person, and I've got a really good family behind me," Dickerson told Fox Sports. "I love coming to the ballpark, and I know when I'm healthy, I'm going to succeed. Every time I got hurt this year or something was hurting, my motivation was to come back even better."
