Kris Bryant’s seven-year contract with the Colorado Rockies has been plagued by injuries, with the latest being lumbar degenerative disc disease. The team has placed him on the 10-day injured list with no timetable for his return. Bryant has missed significant time in previous seasons due to back strains, and his performance has been underwhelming. This is Year 4 of his $182 million contract, and he has struggled to produce at Coors Field. Bryant, 33, struggled this season with a .154 batting average and zero home runs before landing on the injured list. Limited to DH due to a back issue, he has a negative WAR of -1.6 as a Rockie. It is unclear if the Rockies have insurance on his contract. Braxton Fulford, hitting well in Triple-A, has been called up to replace Bryant on the roster.
