Joe said Sunday that he's made a full recovery from the right hamstring strain that sidelined him for the final month of the 2021 season, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Joe hasn't faced any limitations since reporting to spring training once the MLB lockout was lifted and looks to be in good position to enter the 2022 season in a near-everyday role. His ability to play every outfield spot plus the two corner-infield positions may prompt the Rockies to view Joe as more of a utility man, but the addition of a full-time designated hitter in the National League aids his chances of garnering regular at-bats. Though Joe was a minor-league journeyman with little track record at the MLB level prior to 2021, he seized hold of the leadoff role prior to getting injured last September and finished the season with a .285/.379/.469 slash line to go with eight home runs, 35 RBI and 23 runs across 211 plate appearances. Joe makes for a decent target in the end game of deeper-league drafts.

Joe (hamstring) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The club announced Wednesday that Joe's hamstring strain would keep him out for the remainder of the season, so Friday's move is merely a formality. Peter Lambert (elbow) was activated from the 60-day IL ahead of his Friday start and will take Joe's spot on the 40-man roster. Joe is expected to be ready for spring training.

Joe (hamstring) won't return in 2021, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Joe suffered a mild hamstring strain in early September, but he recently resumed hitting and agility drills. However, the Rockies will hold him out for the remainder of the 2021 campaign to give him ample time to heal. The 29-year-old is expected to be back to full health within a few weeks, so he should be able to have a relatively normal offseason.

Manager Bud Black said Friday that he's not sure if Joe (hamstring) will be able to return this season, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The club had previously expressed optimism that Joe would return before the end of the season, and despite him participating in hitting drills earlier this week, it sounds like there's a possibility he's played his last games of 2021. The outfielder has been out with a right hamstring strain since Sept. 4 and could require a minor-league rehab assignment before being activated.

EDGE Analysis
Joe recently resumed running and agility drills, and he'll continue to progress in his recovery by hitting Tuesday. The 29-year-old has been sidelined since Sept. 4 due to a right hamstring strain, but the Rockies are optimistic that he'll have enough time to return prior to the end of the regular season.

Joe (hamstring) recently received a PRP injection, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Joe landed on the injured list with a mild right hamstring strain, and the team is hopeful that his injection will help his recovery. The team's doctors still don't have a timetable for the 29-year-old's return, but they're hopeful that he'll be able to return prior to the end of the season.

Joe was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right hamstring strain, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
This seemed inevitable after it was revealed Joe strained his hamstring while running from first to third in the third inning of Friday's game. While the strain has been deemed "mild," these injuries typically require more than the minimum 10 days. Joshua Fuentes was recalled to take Joe's spot on the active roster.

Joe suffered a mild right hamstring strain in Friday's win over Atlanta, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Bud Black said after Friday's game that Joe's injury is "not the best of scenarios," but he said that he doesn't expect that the 29-year-old will miss the remainder of the season. He'll presumably be evaluated in the coming days, but Black said that a trip to the injured list is possible.
