Bryant went 2-for-4 with two runs scored Wednesday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant made his third consecutive start since being activated from the injured list. He grounded into a double play in the first inning but followed that up with a pair of singles. Bryant went 3-for-12 with a walk across Colorado's three-game set with the Dodgers and has shown no signs of aggravating the back injury that sidelined him for much of the first half of the season.

Bryant went 1-for-4 Monday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant was activated from the injured list Monday and made his first start in over a month. He has been limited to only 18 games this season due to a nagging back injury. Bryant was able to man left field in his return, offering some hope that he is back at full strength and will be a more consistent presence in Colorado's lineup across the second half of the season.

The Rockies reinstated Bryant (back) from the 10-day injured list Monday. He'll start in left field and bat third in the Rockies' series opener against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

The Rockies have yet to see much of their new $182 million man this year, as a pair of trips to the injured list have limited him to just 17 games. He has just one hit and seven strikeouts across four rehab appearances, but he's nonetheless considered ready to return to the big leagues. His .270/.342/.333 slash line thus far for his new team is merely good for an 80 wRC+, so the Rockies will hope to see much more from him going forward.

Bryant (back) will rejoin the Rockies on Monday and is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list during the three-game series versus the Dodgers, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant has gone 1-for-13 with a double, two walks and two runs during his four-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque, and he's now set to return after spending essentially the past two months on the shelf. The 30-year-old initially returned from the back injury in late May but moved back to the injured list after only three games. Fresh off signing a seven-year, $182 million deal with the Rockies in March, Bryant has played in only 17 games and has a .270/.342/.333 slash line with zero home runs, four RBI and 11 runs scored.

Bryant (back) won't return from the injured list during the Rockies' three-game series in Minnesota this weekend, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old is 0-for-6 with three strikeouts through his first two rehab appearances with Triple-A Albuquerque, and he'll remain with the affiliate through the weekend before potentially rejoining the big-league club next week. Manager Bud Black said Bryant hasn't suffered a setback in his recovery, and the team just wants to provide him "a few more games to get ready."

Bryant (back) played five innings in left field during a rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant started the game and went 0-for-3 with a strikeout. The results don't particularly matter, but it was a positive indication that he appeared in the outfield during his first game action since hitting the injured list. Bryant is hoping to return during the Rockies' upcoming series at Minnesota.

Bryant (back) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday at Triple-A Albuquerque, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rockies are planning on having Bryant play two or three games with Albuquerque, and if all goes well, he'll return from the 10-day injured list ahead of Friday's series opener in Minnesota. In between his two stints on the IL on account of back issues, Bryant has produced a .270/.342/.333 slash line in 73 plate appearances during his first season in Colorado.

Bryant (back) is hopeful that he'll be able to rejoin the Rockies at some point during their road series against the Twins next weekend, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant is expected to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Albuquerque in the coming days, and it seems likely that he'll appear in several minor-league games prior to rejoining the Rockies. However, it's encouraging that he has a clear timetable to return to game action after being on the injured list for several weeks.

Bryant (back) took batting practice on the field Thursday and could head out on a rehab assignment this weekend, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant most recently took BP on Tuesday, so the fact that he was able to face off against pitching again two days later is a good sign that he's continuing to make solid progress in his recovery from a back strain. Though the injury has now forced Bryant to the 10-day injured list on two occasions this season, the Rockies likely won't have him play more than a few games in the minors prior to activating him. If he does in fact start a rehab assignment this weekend, Bryant could be ready to rejoin the Rockies for the start of their six-game road trip that begins Tuesday in Miami.

Bryant (back) will take batting practice on the field Tuesday, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Back troubles have limited the Rockies' new $182 million man to just 17 games so far this season. His latest absence has lasted three weeks, but he's making progress. Given that he's already hit the injured list twice this season, however, expect the Rockies to bring him along slowly.
