He studied journalism and communication at UConn.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">MLB</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>It has been a rough few years for Kris Bryant since he signed a long-term deal with the Colorado Rockies, specifically on the injury front related to his back, and he <a href="https://www.mlb.com/news/kris-bryant-determined-to-overcome-back-issues" rel="noopener">did not hold back</a> when talking about how he is dealing with everything related to that.</p><p>“I’m not doing too good,” Kris Bryant said, via Thomas Harding of MLB.com. “I’m trying my hardest.”</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rockies-news-kris-bryant-dealing-harsh-2024-reality">Bryant is still going through</a> the process of recovering and is doing everything he can to get back healthy <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rockies-news-charlie-blackmon-retirement-14-year-career">for the Rockies</a>. Still, his honest admission is an example of how hard it can be for players to go through injuries in their careers. Bryant was a star on the Chicago Cubs and was a huge reason they won the World Series in 2016. Bryant has done great things in his career, but he wants to continue that in this chapter with the Rockies.</p><p>“I totally turned the page on that [Cubs] chapter of my life,” Bryant said, via Harding. “I want to have a new and better one here. I’m always striving for better things. … There are many nights where I sit there, crying myself to sleep. It sucks, sitting here, watching games, knowing I can’t contribute in any way. I guess I can contribute by talking. I’m struggling really bad with this, and I can’t wait to get back out there.”</p><h2><b>Kris Bryant’s struggles with the Rockies</b></h2><p>As mentioned before, Bryant spent many years with the Cubs, and was a star player there. He got called up in 2015 and immediately made an impact. He was a huge part of the team winning in 2016, and those first three seasons of his career are still clearly the best he has had to this date.</p><p>Bryant remained a valued member of the Cubs until the trade deadline in 2021, when he was dealt to the San Francisco Giants. The following offseason, Bryant signed with the Rockies on a lucrative deal. Expectations were high, especially going to a hitter-friendly ballpart. In 2022, Bryant performed well when he was on the field, but the problem was that he only played 42 games. The following season, Bryant struggled in 80 games, and 2024 was a similar story, as he struggled in just 37 games played.</p><p>Hopefully, Bryant will be able to recover from this back issue and be able to have a resurgent season in 2024. He is still under contract with the Rockies for four more seasons.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The team is in last place in the NL West, 25.5 games behind the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers. The Rockies are 31 games under .500 entering play on Monday and clock in as baseball’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb-power-rankings-2024-orioles-no-1-amid-tight-top-5-race">third-worst team in the latest MLB power rankings</a>.</p><p>Today the Rockies had to make a move they’re all too used to making. Colorado placed Kris Bryant on the 10-day <a href="https://x.com/harding_at_mlb/status/1823117303464239207" rel="noopener">injured list</a>, per MLB.com’s Thomas Harding. This time the 32-year-old veteran went down with a back strain. Bryant last played on Saturday against the Atlanta Braves, going 0-5 with three strikeouts.</p><p>This will be Bryant’s third trip to the injured list this season and his eighth since joining the Rockies in 2022.</p><p>So far this year Bryant has been limited to 37 games despite <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rockies-news-kris-bryant-injury-riddled-colorado-stint-fans-hyped">entering the season healthy and motivated</a>. He <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rockies-news-kris-bryant-injury-woes-continue-exiting-early-blue-jays">landed on the IL in April</a> with a lower back strain that cost him 31 games. After returning on May 21 Bryant hit the injured list again on June 6 with a left rib contusion sustained when he hit the wall in foul territory while making a catch against the Dodgers on June 2. The rib ailment caused him to miss 43 games. He returned to the Rockies on July 23 and was once again placed on the IL today.</p><p>Bryant was selected second overall in the 2013 draft by the Chicago Cubs. He debuted in the majors in 2015 and won Rookie of the Year. He followed an excellent first season up with an even better sophomore campaign. In 2016 Bryant had 39 home runs, 102 RBI and 121 runs scored and took home the MVP award.</p><h2><b>The Rockies’ Kris Bryant hits injured list again</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Kris-Bryant.jpg"><figcaption>David Frerker-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Early in his career Bryant was both successful and durable. He played in 147 or more games in four of his first five seasons. During his six and a half year tenure with the Cubs he made the All-Star game four times.</p><p>The Rockies unexpectedly <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rockies-news-kris-bryant-signing-blockbuster-7-year-182-million-deal-with-colorado">signed Bryant to a massive seven-year, $182 million contract</a> prior to the 2022 season. Since then a litany of injuries has significantly impacted Bryant’s ability to stay on the field.</p><p>The 10-year veteran was limited to just 42 games in 2022 due to a back ailment and injuries to his right foot including plantar fasciitis and a bone bruise. Bryant was held to 80 games last season as <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rockies-news-kris-bryant-injured-list">he dealt with a heel problem</a> and a broken finger courtesy of a 93 mph fastball from Johnny Cueto.</p><p>Including 37 games this season, Bryant has played in just 159 games since joining the Rockies in 2022. For comparison, he played in 155 games during his 2016 MVP campaign. When Bryant has been healthy enough to take the field he’s failed to produce offensively. He’s slashing .250/.332/.381 with 17 home runs, 60 RBI and 73 runs scored during his time in Colorado.</p><p>Bryant is easily the Rockies’ highest paid player. He’s making $28 million this season, which is $13 million more than the team’s next highest paid member, Kyle Freeland.

He graduated from the University of Oregon in 2016 with a film degree but has since dedicated his career to sports writing.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">MLB</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>It’s been a tough go <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rockies-news-mlb-rumors-kris-bryant-move-2024">for the Colorado Rockies</a> early on this season as the franchise is still in a rebuild. However, it sounds like the club could get a nice boost as Kris Bryant and Nolan Jones receive an injury update.</p><p>Reports indicate that both Bryant and Jones <a href="https://www.mlb.com/news/rockies-injuries-and-roster-moves" rel="noopener">could return to the</a> Rockies lineup at some point in May, according to MLB.com. Kris Bryant could be back by May 17 while Nolan Jones could return in late May.</p><p>“After two days of batting practice — showing greater power in his May 11 session than the previous day — and doing sprints from first to third, Bryant is expected to join Triple-A Albuquerque for an injury rehab assignment starting May 14. Black said the plan is for Bryant to join the Rockies in San Francisco starting May 17.”</p><p>“Jones is a little behind 1B Kris Bryant, who is expected to begin an injury rehab assignment on May 14 and could return on May 17. Jones will go to Triple-A Albuquerque with Bryant to continue working his way toward an injury rehab assignment.”</p><p>Considering the Rockies are in dead last in the National League West they could use all the help they can get. Having Kris Bryant and Nolan Jones return from injury could be enough to get Colorado back on track to win some games. Additionally, it’s nice to see both veterans nearing a return soon.</p><p>With that said, hopefully, both Bryant and Jones improve at the plate as they were ice cold before falling to injury. Bryant currently holds a .149 batting average, six RBIs, and just one home run. Meanwhile, Jones has only recorded a .170 batting average, seven RBIs, and one home run.</p><h2>Can Rockies bounce back in the 2024 season?</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Bud-Black-on-a-mound-visit.jpg"><figcaption>Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/padres-news-dylan-cease-rockies-coors-field-history">The Rockies are</a> currently 15 games behind the first-place LA Dodgers in the NL West. Although there are a ton of games remaining in the regular season that’s a big lead for Colorado to come back from. It’s not impossible but it’s definitely an uphill battle. The return of Kris Bryant and Nolan Jones should help but it might not be enough for this team to become competitive.</p><p>When it comes down to it the Rockies look like they’re still a few years away from contending for a playoff spot. They have some solid young talent in the farm system but the franchise could certainly use more. So, it’ll be interesting to see what the front office decides to do once the trade deadline approaches. We could see Colorado shopping veteran players for young talent. Or, if they go on a hot streak, they could make moves to improve the Major League roster.</p><p>Either way, the Rockies could be a team to watch at the trade deadline. But expectations of this team catching fire should be tempered. Instead, Colorado is more likely to finish at the bottom of the rankings, which will fetch them a much-needed early pick in the MLB Draft.</p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
