Bryant went 3-for-3 with a solo home run, a double, a walk and two runs scored in Monday's loss to Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

The Rockies got crushed by the Pirates but Bryant was the lone bright spot for the home team. He took Rich Hill deep in the third inning for his first long ball in Coors Field as a Rockie. Bryant improved his slash line to .323/.380/.477 with six extra-base knocks through 70 plate appearances.

Bryant is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant looks to be getting some routine maintenance with the Rockies and Cardinals playing a day game after a night game. Charlie Blackmon is starting in right field and Harold Castro is occupying the designated hitter spot Wednesday while Bryant is on the bench.

Bryant went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored Thursday against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant hit second in Colorado's lineup and was a key contributor to their Opening Day win. That started early, as he doubled in his first bat before coming around to score. Five frames later, he delivered a two-out single to give the Rockies some insurance runs. Bryant had a disappointing opening season in Colorado that was caused primarily by injuries, but he appears to be fully healthy to start the new campaign.

Bryant (back) will serve as the Rockies' designated hitter and No. 3 batter in Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Though he'll be eased back into the mix in a non-defensive role, Bryant appears to be good to go after back stiffness kept him out of the spring lineup Monday and Tuesday. Given that Bryant missed time with a back strain during his first season in Colorado, it's possible he serves as the team's DH for a few more days before he picks up a start in the corner outfield.

Bryant (back) is expected to return to Cactus League action Wednesday, Danielle Allentuck of the Denver Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant sat out both Monday and Tuesday due to a stiff back, and even minor issues are going to send up red flags after he was limited to 42 games with the Rockies in 2022. It was plantar fasciitis that ultimately ended his season, though he did also miss time in the first half because of a back strain. His status for Wednesday is certainly worth monitoring.

Bryant is expected to remain in the outfield rather than move to third base for the Rockies following Ryan McMahon's shift to second, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Most of Bryant's experience is at the hot corner, of course, but the Rockies evidently prefer to keep him on the grass the bulk of the time. It sounds like he could see the occasional start at third base, opening up the possibility of him regaining eligibility there in fantasy leagues.

Bryant started at designated hitter and went 1-for-2 with a run scored in Saturday's Cactus League game against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant was limited to 42 games in 2022 due to a foot injury, but both he and the team have been positive about his health early in spring training. Bryant's first game action backed those positive reports, as he managed to score from first base on a double by Ryan McMahon in the opening frame. Bryant is expected to start primarily in left field this season, though he may continue to serve as the designated hitter during the exhibition season in an effort to protect his health.

Bryant (foot) confirmed Wednesday that he has been a full participant in all activities so far in Rockies camp, Danielle Allentuck of the Denver Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant worked hard this winter to sort out a workout strategy for managing his plantar fasciitis, and it seems to be paying off. He acknowledged Wednesday that there has been a bit of soreness but brushed that off as typical early spring stuff. The 31-year-old former NL MVP is aiming for a major bounce-back in 2023 after being limited to 42 games in the first year of a blockbuster seven-year, $182 million free-agent pact with Colorado.

Bryant (foot) said Sunday he'll entering spring training healthy and with no restrictions, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rockies general manager Bill Schmidt previously noted in December that Bryant was on track to be healthy for the start of spring training, and it appears the 31-year-old's workouts over the past six weeks have gone well enough for that to come to fruition. The first year of Bryant's seven-year, $182 million deal with the Rockies was a trainwreck, as he played in just 42 games before plantar fasciitis ended his campaign in early August.

Rockies GM Bill Schmidt said Thursday the training staff indicated that Bryant (foot) "looks good," and the organization is "optimistic" the slugger will be healthy for the start of spring training, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old signed a seven-year, $182 million deal with the club in March, but his first year in Colorado was a disaster, as plantar fasciitis limited him to only 42 games. Bryant finished with a .306/.376/.475 slash line but had only five home runs in 181 plate appearances. He has a couple more months to get up to full health before the start of spring training in February.
