Bryant (back/ribs) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant was removed in the fourth inning of Saturday's 5-3 loss after experiencing soreness in his right ribs and back, but at this stage, Rockies manager Bud Black isn't expecting the 32-year-old to miss much time, according to the Associated Press. The four-time All-Star's injury stems from when he twisted around and crashed into the outfield wall after making a catch on a deep drive off the bat of Vladimir Guerrero in the first inning. Bryant was able to stay in the game initially and doubled in his at-bat in the second inning, but he struck out in his next at-bat in the fourth inning and was pulled in the bottom of the frame when his back stiffened up. Consider Bryant day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener in Philadelphia.

Bryant left Saturday's game against Toronto due to back tightness, Kelsey Wingert-Linch of AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant's back reportedly tightened up on him after he collided with the outfield wall while making a catch in the first inning of Saturday's contest. He played a few more innings afterward but had to come out of the game in the fourth inning. The severity of his back injury remains unknown, but he should be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Bryant was removed early from Saturday's game against the Blue Jays, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant crashed into the outfield wall while making a catch during the first inning, but he wasn't pulled from the game until the fourth. It's unclear at the moment if his removal had anything to do with his collision, but the Rockies should offer more information in the near future. In the meantime, Michael Toglia will fill in as Colorado's right fielder.

Bryant went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI on Friday against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant managed his second multi-hit performance of the season, with the highlight being a two-run double in the fourth frame. That marked his second extra-base hit across 47 plate appearances to begin the campaign, good for just a .075 ISO.

Bryant (back) will serve as the Rockies' designated hitter and cleanup batter in Sunday's game against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant was held out of action for Saturday's 8-6 loss to Tampa Bay while tending to lower-back stiffness, but he feels well enough to return to action for the series finale, albeit in a non-defensive role. Michael Toglia will draw the start at first base Sunday, but expect Bryant to resume playing his normal position within the next few days, assuming the back issue doesn't crop up again.

Bryant is not in the Rockies' lineup Saturday due to lower-back stiffness, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant has a history of back issues in his career, so the Rockies will play it safe and hold him out until his condition improves. Michael Toglia will cover right field while the former MVP sits and could see increased playing time if Bryant's injury ends up costing him multiple games.

Bryant isn't in the Rockies' lineup for Saturday's contest against Tampa Bay, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant's two-run homer was the only hit he recorded in five at-bats during Friday's win, and he'll get a day off for the second game of the series Saturday. His absence will give Michael Toglia a chance to start in right field while batting eighth.
