Bryant went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant began the spring positively with a two-run home run with an exit velocity of 111.8 mph. However, he's gone just 2-for-19 with six strikeouts since. Positively, Bryant has remained healthy and is still projected to serve as Colorado's primary DH.

Bryant hit a 462-foot home run that had an 111.8 mph exit velocity during Tuesday's Cactus League game, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant has struggled to stay on the field since joining the Rockies in 2022, though he worked on his core strength and flexibility this offseason and enters the season with renewed hope. While there should be caution in interpreting spring training results, Bryant's shot Tuesday was an impressive start to the exhibition slate. He's started both of his games at DH, another factor that could help him stay healthy during the regular season.

Bryant's offseason workouts focused on core strength and flexibility in the hope that it will help keep him healthy in 2025, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rockies also plan to use Bryant in the designated-hitter slot at home in order to limit his exposure to the difficult environment and spacious right field. Bryant -- who will be used some in right field on the road -- has played just 159 games over three regular seasons for the Rockies, largely due to back and foot issues. He is entering spring training healthy.

Rockies general manager Bill Schmidt said last week that Bryant is slated to be used at designated hitter and in right field in 2025, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schmidt indicated that Bryant could see more of his starts in right field on the road, where he would have less ground to cover than in spacious Coors Field. Bryant is also capable of playing first base, but Michael Toglia is pegged for everyday duty there. It would make sense for the Rockies to use Bryant mostly at DH in an effort to keep him healthy, but Schmidt said of the soon-to-be 33-year-old that "I don't see him strictly as a DH." Bryant has played just 159 games in three seasons for the Rockies, mostly due to back and foot issues, but he is expected to enter spring training healthy.

Manager Bud Black said Saturday that Bryant (back) is "doing better" but the 32-year-old outfielder is still "questionable" to return this season, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant has been on the injured list since Aug. 12 due to a back strain. It's the third time he's been on the IL this season, and the second on account of a back injury. If Bryant is indeed done for the year, he'll finish with a slash line of .218/.323/.301 with two home runs and 15 RBI across 155 plate appearances.

The Rockies placed Bryant on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a back strain, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant will head to the IL for a third time this season, and for the second time on account of a back injury. Since returning from his last stint on the IL on July 23 due to a left oblique strain, Bryant has slashed .277/.352/.340 with five RBI and a 31.5 percent strikeout rate across 53 plate appearances. With Bryant on the shelf, the Rockies recalled outfielder Jordan Beck from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move.

Bryant is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant has now taken Sunday off in each of the three weekends since he came off the 10-day injured list July 23. With Bryant on the bench for the series finale with Atlanta, Charlie Blackmon will start in right field and Brendan Rodgers will serve as the Rockies' designated hitter.
