Bouchard has been diagnosed with a ruptured left biceps muscle, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bouchard suffered the injury while taking a first-inning at-bat in Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Angels. Colorado is holding out hope that it's not season-ending, per Harding, but the 26-year-old slugger needs surgery and is going to be on the shelf over a lengthy recovery period. He was positioned to claim something close to an everyday role this year with the Rockies following his tremendous showing between Triple-A and MLB in 2022.

Bouchard underwent an MRI on his ailing left biceps after the injury forced him from Wednesday's game, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bouchard is hoping for good news when the results come in later Thursday, but imaging being required suggests there's at least some level of concern. The 26-year-old had a big year at Triple-A Albuquerque in 2022 and closed with a strong showing with the Rockies. If healthy, he could have a significant role with the big club in 2023.

Bouchard exited Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Angels with a left biceps injury, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bouchard suffered the injury during an inning-ending strikeout in the top of the first and was replaced in left field by Cole Tucker before the bottom of the first. There's no indication yet as to the severity of the issue. Bouchard had a tremendous showing between Triple-A Albuquerque and Colorado last season, putting him in line to possibly claim a regular with the Rockies out of the gate in 2023.

Bouchard went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Bouchard took Julio Urias yard in the third inning to tally the third home run of his career. The performance continued his impressive close to the season, as he now has seven extra-base hits across his last six starts. Bouchard has maintained a .306/.452/.514 line across his first 93 plate appearances in the majors, and he's taken advantage of his opportunity to make a case for a roster spot with the big-league club in 2023.

Bouchard went 2-for-4 with two doubles, one RBI and one run scored Sunday against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Bouchard accounted for the majority of his production in the ninth inning when he tallied an RBI double and also came around to score. He has taken over an everyday role since Sept. 21 and done well in the audition, maintaining a .400 average with one home run, four doubles, four runs scored and six RBI across 30 at-bats. Much of that damage has also come away from Coors Field, as four of his extra-base hits in that span have come on the road.

Bouchard went 2-for-3 with a walk Tuesday against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Bouchard collected his third consecutive multi-hit game, with Tuesday's being the first that came on the road. He has also earned six straight starts, and he's reached base at least once in every game in that span while maintaining a .727 on-base percentage. He's made the most of his chances at the big-league level since being called up Aug. 30, maintaining a .959 OPS with a home run, seven RBI and four runs scored across 16 games.

Bouchard went 2-for-3 with three RBI in Sunday's loss against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Bouchard earned his fifth straight start and improved his case for regular playing time with two hits Sunday. He is 6-for-11 in that stretch, including seven walks compared to one strikeout. The Rockies have a crowded outfield now that CJ Cron will be back in the lineup on a regular basis, but Bouchard has the hot hand and may stick around in the lineup to close the season.

Bouchard will start in left field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Bouchard will stick in the lineup for a fifth straight game after going 4-for-8 with a double and six walks over the previous four contests, but his run of steady playing time could soon come to an end. C.J. Cron (hand) is back in action at first base Sunday following a three-game absence, and his return to the lineup likely means that Michael Toglia will see more playing time in the corner outfield moving forward. At least for Sunday's contest, however, Bouchard will stick in the outfield alongside Yonathan Daza and Randal Grichuk while Toglia sits after starting each of the prior six contests.
