2 years agoColorado Rockies third baseman/outfielder Kris Bryant (back) looks strong, but manager Bud Black said he still cannot swing the bat with freedom and comfort. "The other aspects of the game, presently, he's fine throwing, running," Black said. "Those baseball activities, no problem. Swinging the bat is where we got to get to. He was limited. He was not in a place where he felt that he was going to be productive." There remains no timetable for Bryant to return from the injured list, which he's been on for the second time in less than a month due to back issues. The 30-year-old has hit .270 with a .342 on-base percentage in his first 17 games for the Rockies, but he has yet to go deep in 73 plate appearances.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
