The Colorado Rockies announced half an hour before the first pitch in their doubleheader with the Pittsburgh Pirates that they have placed Trevor Story (right arm inflammation) on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to Friday.
In a corresponding move, the Rockies have activated first baseman/outfielder Matt Adams (shin contusion) off the 10-day injured list.
As Rox Pile’s Kevin Henry discussed in this article this morning, the Rockies were hoping to avoid an IL stint with Story but Bud Black said that while they were hoping to see him this weekend, they would likely be erring on the side of caution, which they obviously have.
