Colorado Rockies injury news: Carlos Gonzalez not in lineup but improving

Gonzalez was taken out of the game on Thursday afternoon against the San Diego Padres with what was described at the time as a calf cramp. He was not in the lineup on Friday when Arizona and Colorado opened a three-game series in Denver. However, he was seen loosening up in the dugout late in Colorado’s 6-3 loss.

Colorado manager Bud Black told reporters on Saturday that while CarGo was trying to get loose in the dugout for a possible pinch hitting appearance, he didn’t feel comfortable putting Gonzalez into a situation that could have worsened his injury.
