Kris BryantThe mandate of Rockies Crossed Star added another chapter earlier this week when the former MVP NL was placed on the list of wounded 10 days earlier this week due to a lumbar degenerative disease. Recurrent back problems are only a variety of several injuries that have limited Bryant to 170 games during its three seasons and more with Colorado, but it seems that it is the most persistent obstacle preventing Bryant from getting on the ground for any sustained period.
Bryant shared some details on his situation with journalists (including Thomas Harding from MLB.com) on Sunday, including some of the side effects of his current back problem. After undergoing an exercise program yesterday, Bryant said “I woke up without feeling goodAnd described himself as being “In constant pain and nausea, where I cannot eat, which was the situation today. “The nature of the back injury can come and go, because Bryant described a game situation where he felt good for most of the competition, but by his last at-bat, could barely swing.
THE “extremely frustrating“The degenerative disc disease has left glying at least thinking of surgery, but”Doctors are not yet there“By recommending it. Such a procedure would put almost an end to the 2025 Bryant season and would put it on another long cycle of rehabilitation and training with an eye on the day of opening 2026, perhaps as a better case scenario.
For the moment, Bryant is not sure that he will feel good enough for a return to the field to be possible. He received two anti-inflammatory shots on Tuesday, although the injections apparently provided limited aid given his nausea today. In the situation as a whole, Bryant also declared that he did not consider retirement, clearly declaring that “I want to play. I mean doctors, see if there is something else we can do. But, yes, I don’t want to give up. “”
The $ 182 million contract of $ 182 million in Bryant with the Rockies cannot be considered as a bust, because Bryant has only reached 0.244 / .324 / .370 on 712 appearances during the life of the agreement, and the Rox have a disastrous record 192-315 since the opening of the day 2022. Impact on the quality of his life.
Until a health breakage emerges or perhaps until Bryant decides to undergo surgery, all that he and the rocks can do is play the waiting game. The lamentable start of Colorado 4-17 has almost surely sank whatever the chance that the team had during a competitive season, and the Roxs have turned more and more to a number of younger players making their MLB debut as a possible overview of the future.
