SAN FRANCISCO -- Rockies right-hander Jon Gray usually passes on fielding the chopper that he leaped for Thursday night against the Giants. Now he is in a walking boot and expected to miss at least a month.
Gray suffered a left foot navicular stress fracture, which is in the middle of the foot. The injury is in a different spot from the toe injury that affected him during Spring Training, although it's possible the issues were related. Gray secured the out when he extended for Eduardo Nunez's chopper. He didn't feel it until he rifled the ball to first base, but believes he likely suffered the injury on the leap.
