According to a tweet from Thomas Harding of MLB.com, Colorado Rockies outfielder Raimel Tapia did not start Sunday’s road series finale with the St. Louis Cardinals because of what he described as “a hand issue.” Harding was unable to talk more with Tapia about the injury before the contest so the severity of it is not known at this time. However, we do know that Tapia was not in Sunday’s starting lineup.
Colorado has dealt with plenty of injuries this season, including the announcement earlier on Sunday that pitcher Chad Bettis would be out for the season as he is scheduled to undergo bilateral hip surgery.
