Rockies corner outfielder Sean Bouchard, on a path to get extensive playing time this season, has sustained a major injury that could end his season.
Bouchard was diagnosed with a left distal biceps rupture on Thursday and the injury will require surgery, according to MLB.com. The injury is to his non-throwing arm.
The Rockies are holding out hope that the ruptured biceps won’t end Bouchard’s season, but the club has not provided a timeline for his possible return.
Injuries have slammed the Rockies in spring training. Starting second baseman Brendan Rodgers sustained a dislocated left shoulder last week that will require surgery and will likely cost him the season, and left-hander reliever Lucas Gilbreath will undergo Tommy John surgery next week and is out for the season.
