Colorado Rockies third baseman/outfielder Kris Bryant (foot) has increased his activity and is playing catch, but he's still in and out of a walking boot and has no timeline for a return to the team. At this point, it's unlikely that Bryant will return for the Rockies to close out the 2022 season. The 30-year-old slugger has been on the injured list since Aug. 1 while dealing with plantar fasciitis in his left foot. He's been solid when on the field in his first year in Colorado, hitting .306/.376/.475 with an .851 OPS, five home runs, 14 RBI and 28 runs scored, but he's managed to play in only 42 games. Sean Bouchard has been the Rockies' everyday left fielder of late with Bryant still sidelined. If you have other needs and are still chasing a fantasy championship, feel free to drop Bryant in single-year formats.

Colorado Rockies third baseman/outfielder Kris Bryant (foot) received a platelet-rich plasma injection to help with the plantar fasciitis in his left foot, and the Rockies will have another update on him in seven to 10 days. Bryant has been on the shelf since early August, is in a walking boot and has yet to resume baseball activities. With the regular season winding to a close in just over a month, there's a chance that the 30-year-old won't be back with the Rockies again in 2022. Bryant has been good when on the field, hitting .306/.376/.475 with an .851 OPS, five home runs, 14 RBI and 28 runs scored in 160 at-bats, but he just hasn't been able to stay healthy in his first year in Colorado.

Colorado Rockies outfielder/third baseman Kris Bryant (foot) is still in a walking boot and isn't doing baseball activities. The Rockies still haven't said whether it's possible that he'll return this year, but there are only 39 games left and he'd likely need to go on a minor league rehab assignment before returning to the big-league lineup.

The organization decided to have Bryant serve as the designated hitter to help rest his foot on Monday.

Garrett Hampson will take his spot in the lineup, so fantasy managers should make sure to pull Bryant out of their lineups.

Bryant was forced to exit early during Sunday's contest due to his plantar fasciitis in his left foot. It sounds like the Rockies are going to limit Bryant to a designated hitter role.

It's worth noting that rest is one of the better ways to resolve this issue, so he could sit out of the lineup for a few days. Fantasy managers will have to check back for more updates.

Bryant has only played in 37 games in his first year in Colorado, but he's hitting a strong .301/.370/.476 with an .846 OPS, five home runs, 14 RBI and 25 runs scored so far.

The 30-year-old has been even better in the month of July, sporting a .339/.403/.662 slash line with a 1.064 OPS, five home runs, 10 RBI and 12 runs scored in 16 games.

Colorado Rockies third baseman/outfielder Kris Bryant (foot) will see specialists in Denver on Tuesday after missing Monday's game against the Brewers with a sore foot, per Rockies beat writer Danielle Allentuck.

The Colorado Rockies reinstated outfielder Kris Bryant (back) from the 10-day injured list on Monday and reinstated left-hander Ty Blach from the 15-day injured list. Bryant is back in left field and is hitting third on Monday against Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Tyler Anderson. On a four-game minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque, Bryant went 1-for-13 with a double and two runs scored. The 30-year-old is no longer in his prime and is still searching for his first home run of the year after two stints on the injured list with a back injury. However, he should be able to give fantasy managers some modest power at hitter-friendly Coors Field, and he was batting .270 (17-for-63) before going on the IL the second time.

Colorado Rockies manager Bud Black said that infielder/outfielder Kris Bryant (back) will rejoin the team in Denver on Monday. The thought is that Bryant will be activated from the injured list at that time, but they will evaluate him when he joins the team. The veteran slugger has gone 3-for-20 (.150) with no home runs, no RBI, two runs scored and eight strikeouts in six games for Triple-A Albuquerque on his minor league rehab assignment, which doesn't exactly inspire confidence that he can hit the ground running when he returns to the Rockies lineup. The 30-year-old last played for Colorado on May 22 and has been on the injured list twice due to back issues already this year. Bryant was hitting .270/.343/.333 but had yet to go deep in 17 games before his latest injury.

Colorado Rockies third baseman Kris Bryant (back) is close to going on a minor league rehab assignment and will hit on the field again on Thursday. Bryant also took batting practice on Tuesday and could play in some rehab games this weekend before potentially returning to the Rockies at some point next week. A back strain has put the 30-year-old on the injured twice already this season, so he's played in only 17 games, going 17-for-63 (.270) with no home runs, four RBI and 11 runs scored in 73 plate appearances. If Bryant returns and can avoid any setbacks, he should be able to provide fantasy managers with some decent power at hitter-friendly Coors Field.

Colorado Rockies third baseman Kris Bryant (back) has hit off a batting tee and is close to playing soft toss to increase his hitting activity. He's going to make sure his back can handle a full pre-game routine before he resumes playing in games. Bryant likely tried to return too soon from a lower back strain the last time around. The 30-year-old still doesn't have a clear timetable for his return, and he'll almost certainly require a minor league rehab assignment before being activated from the injured list. He has played in just 17 games so far this year due to injuries, and despite not having a home run, he was hitting .270/.342/.333 with four RBI and 11 runs scored in 73 plate appearances for the Rockies.

Colorado 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.

The Colorado Rockies placed outfielder Kris Bryant (back) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. The move is retroactive to May 23. This news doesn't come as much of a surprise as Bryant had been dealing with back soreness since the beginning of the week. He missed about a month of action due to a lower back injury and it seems as if the team brought him back too soon. Bryant's back troubles have limited him to just 17 games on the year, over which he's slashed .270/.342/.333. The Rockies called up right-handed pitcher Ryan Feltner from Triple-A to fill Bryant's roster spot.

On Tuesday, Colorado Rockies manager Bud Black stated that outfielder Kris Bryant (back) could be heading back to the injured list. Black specifically said that a return to the injured list is a "possibility" for Bryant and added that a decision would come on Tuesday night or on Wednesday.

He returned from the injured list this past Saturday, but was only able to play in two games before being scratched on Monday with back soreness.
