On Tuesday afternoon, it was the bottom of the first inning during an early spring training skirmish. Colorado Rockies star second baseman Brendan Rodgers made a fairly routine diving stop on a grounder off the bat of Texas Rangers left fielder Robbie Grossman. When Rodgers didn’t immediately get up, it was clear something was wrong and teammates Ezequiel Tovar and Nolan Jones rushed to his aid. After a lengthy consultation, the Rockies athletic training staff escorted Rodgers off the field as he gingerly treated his left arm. The official diagnosis ended up being a dislocated left shoulder.
