The Kris Bryant Experiment continues to yield negative results.
Bryant is headed to the 10-day injured list, the Rockies announced on Monday, due to lumbar degenerative disc disease. It’s the latest in a series of injuries that have plagued Bryant since he signed with the Rockies on a seven-year, $182 million contract ahead of the 2022 season.
In 11 games this season, Bryant is hitting .154 with no homers in 41 plate appearances. In a corresponding roster move, the Rockies selected the contract of catcher Braxton Fulford from Triple-A. They also transferred right-hander Jess Criswell, who had Tommy John surgery during spring training, to the 60-day injured list.
