ATLANTA — Back on April 22, shortstop Trevor Story had a succinct and apt evaluation of where David Dahl stood as a major leaguer. Long a highly touted Rockies’ prospect, Dahl had just been recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque to make his 2018 Rockies debut.
“He’s had some tough breaks, for sure, health-wise and stuff like that, but he can do some damage really no matter where he’s at on the field or in the lineup,” Story said. “I think you’ll be able to see that pretty soon.”
But after a rib injury kept him off the Colorado roster all of last season, it turned out “soon” would again have to wait for the promising outfielder, as Dahl was sidelined again June 1.
