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.
The Bryant move is retroactive to Sunday. This is not the first time that Bryant has landed on the IL due to back issues. He has played just 170 games across his four seasons in Colorado, with only 17 homers.
Bryant is Colorado’s highest-paid player this season with a $27 million salary. He has yet to appear in the field this season, with all 10 of his starts coming at designated hitter.
