Bryant went 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts Tuesday against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant was activated from the injured list Tuesday after being sidelined since June 2. He hit fifth and notably played in right field, pushing Charlie Blackmon to designated hitter and Jake Cave out of the lineup. Bryant has managed only 105 plate appearances for the season due to back and oblique injuries, so he's also likely to make appearances as the designated hitter.

The Rockies reinstated Bryant (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant has been on the shelf since June 6 due to a left oblique strain, but after playing in three rehab games with Triple-A Albuquerque, he'll rejoin the Rockies active roster. The 32-year-old slashed .186/.307/.279 in 101 plate appearances with Colorado prior to the injury and should slot into a regular DH role while occasionally filling in at first base. Sean Bouchard was optioned to Albuquerque in a corresponding move.

Bryant (oblique) has gone 6-for-11 with two home runs across three games with Triple-A Albuquerque.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant has had another frustrating season dominated by injuries, as he's hit just .186 with a .586 OPS in 101 plate appearances. His current form suggests he should be nearing a return from the injured list, most likely at some point during the team's upcoming weekend series at San Francisco.

Bryant (oblique) will begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant will play in all three games for Albuquerque over the weekend before being re-evaluated by team doctors. In the 10 games prior to being placed on the injured list June 6 due to a left rib contusion and oblique strain, Bryant had gone 9-for-35 with one home run and four RBI, which brought up his season slash line to .186/.307/.279.

Bryant (oblique/rib) said Monday that he likely won't be activated from the 10-day injured list until after the All-Star break, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant took full batting practice in Cincinnati on Monday for the first time since landing on the shelf in early June with a left rib contusion and oblique strain. While Bryant suggested that he responded well to taking BP, he'll still need to go out on a minor-league rehab assignment before eventually making his return from the IL. The upcoming All-Star break will limit Bryant's opportunities to stockpile at-bats in game settings, but the 32-year-old still seems to be trending toward being activated before the end of July.

Bryant (oblique) did some throwing and hit in the batting cage Monday, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
There remains no timetable for Bryant's return to action, but he does appear to be making progress as he works his way back from a left oblique strain. Bryant has already missed nearly a month of action and will require a rehab assignment before being activated.

Bryant has an internal oblique strain in addition to a left rib contusion, and he is without a timetable for return, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Initially, Bryant missed three straight games due to back soreness, but when he was placed on the 10-day IL on June 6, the injury was classified as a left rib contusion. Nine days later, it's now known that Bryant is also battling an oblique strain and a timeline for return hasn't been established. Charlie Blackmon has been the Rockies' preferred DH since Bryant went down while Jake Cave (head) and Michael Toglia have seen more playing time in the outfield.

The Rockies placed Bryant on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a left rib contusion.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant missed three games in a row due to back soreness, but the Rockies are now reporting his injury to be rib related. The 32-year-old missed a month earlier in the season due to a back/rib issue, though the current injury is likely to require a shorter stint on the shelf. Greg Jones was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move.

The Rockies will likely place Bryant (back) on the 10-day injured list Thursday, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wednesday marked the third game in a row Bryant missed due to his sore back, which has not responded well to treatment. He will be joined on the IL by Sean Bouchard (ankle), and the Rockies will presumably call up a couple of minor-leaguers to fill the openings in their outfield. Injuries have limited Bryant to just 24 games so far this season, during which he's slashed .186/.307/.279 with 10 RBI.
