The Rockies’ faltering offense could soon get a boost with the return of Kris Bryant to the lineup.
Manager Bud Black said Friday that Bryant, whom Black called “our best offensive player,” could return from the injured list in time for next weekend’s series against the Twins at Minnesota.
“Our hope is that we see Kris in Minnesota,” Black said before the Rockies opened a three-game series against San Diego at Coors Field. “Over the next five, six, seven days, we’ll see what lies ahead.”
Bryant, 30, participated in a simulated game at Coors on Friday afternoon, testing the strained lower back that has limited him to just 17 games this season.
