David Dahl — finally — gets a chance to be a baseball player again.
The Rockies’ talented outfielder, who did not play in a big-league game last season, is scheduled to begin swinging a bat again as he gears up for spring training.
“I start swinging Thursday when I get back to Scottsdale,” said Dahl, who will resume working out at the Rockies’ Talking Stick facility in Arizona.
Dahl, 24, has not played since a July 31 game with Triple-A Albuquerque, and has not swung a bat since. He suffered a stress reaction injury to a rib during spring training and played in just two Cactus League games before he was shut down.
