Bryant said Monday that he's uncertain when he'll be able to remove the splint protecting his fractured left index finger, MLB.com reports. "[The Rockies medical staff] don't want me to move [the finger] at all," Bryant said.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant was placed on the 10-day injured list July 25 due to the broken finger on his glove hand, and while he continues to wear the splint, he doesn't look as though he'll be able to do much in the way of baseball activities. Bryant is without a clear timeline to return to the field in what's shaping up to be another disappointing, injury-marred season in Colorado for the 31-year-old, who is in the second year of a seven-year, $182 million contract.

Colorado placed Bryant on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a fractured left index finger, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant was originally diagnosed with a contusion when he took a pitch off his hand Saturday in Miami, but further imaging conducted early this week revealed the fracture. It's unclear how long he might be sidelined. Elehuris Montero is joining the Rockies in a corresponding roster move ahead of Tuesday's game in Washington. Randal Grichuk will start in right field.

Bryant (finger) is out of the lineup again Tuesday versus the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Randal Grichuk will start in right field and Jurickson Profar will serve as the Rockies' designated hitter. Bryant has been sidelined since taking a pitch off his right index finger Saturday in Miami, but X-rays came back negative and he is expected to avoid the injured list.

Bryant (finger) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Miami, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran outfielder exited Saturday's contest after being hit by a pitch on his finger, and he'll miss at least one game as a result. Bryant had X-rays come back negative and has been diagnosed with a bruised right index finger, though he isn't necessarily a lock to return to the lineup Monday in Washington. Nolan Jones will man right field Sunday for Colorado.

Bryant exited Saturday's game against the Marlins after getting hit in his finger by a pitch, but his X-rays were negative, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant seems to have avoided serious injury, but he could still wind up missing a few days. The Rockies owe him $130 million over the next five seasons and are nowhere close to the playoff race, so they have every reason to be cautious. Bryant has just three hits in seven games since the break, so he could probably use a day off anyway.

EDGE Analysis
Bryant had to depart Wednesday's contest versus the Astros after he was hit on the forearm by a pitch, but X-rays came back clean and he's ready to roll following the Rockies' off day Thursday. The 31-year-old has popped three home runs in his first 12 games this month.

X-rays came back negative on Bryant's forearm after he was hit by a pitch in Wednesday's loss to the Astros, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant made an early exit, but it sounds like he'll be fine for the Rockies' three-game weekend series in Miami following a scheduled team off day Thursday. He finished 0-for-2 with the HBP on Wednesday and is slashing .254/.332/.383 through 268 plate appearances this year with Colorado.

Bryant went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Tuesday against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant took Hunter Brown deep in the first inning, marking his eighth homer of the season. After going deep only five times across his first 204 at-bats of the campaign, Bryant has now tallied three long balls in his last nine games and 34 at-bats. He still has a career-low .131 ISO for the season.

Bryant went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 7-2 win over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant padded the Rockies' lead with his seventh-inning blast. He's gone 9-for-32 (.281) in July, hitting safely in seven of his eight games this month. The 31-year-old battled a heel injury during the first half, so staying healthy will be a key for him going forward. Bryant is slashing .261/.337/.385 with seven homers, 21 RBI, 26 runs scored, seven doubles and no stolen bases over 59 contests this season.
