May 17: C Elias Díaz still out with left hand soreness
Díaz left Tuesday's game in the third inning, missed Wednesday's series finale in San Diego, and was not in the lineup for Friday's opener in San Francisco. Manager Bud Black said he doesn't expect the problem to force Díaz to the injured list. Jacob Stallings has played in Díaz's absence, with Hunter Goodman as backup.

10-DAY/15-DAY INJURED LIST

1B Kris Bryant (low back strain)
Expected return: Possibly May 21 in Oakland
Bryant, who started his rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque on May 14, singled in his first at-bat on May 17 (he was scheduled for nine innings), after going 1-for-7 over games from May 14-15. "He hasn't played in a month, so you've got to have time to get in rhythm against pitching and feel the timing," hitting coach Hensley Meulens said. "The older you get, it takes some time -- but he doesn't need much. He can hit." Manager Bud Black said Bryant will play for Albuquerque on May 18 and 19. (Last updated: May 17)

OF Nolan Jones (low back strain)
Expected return: Possibly May 21 in Oakland
Jones went 0-for-5 in the first two games of his rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque, but he singled in his first at-bat on May 17. Manager Bud Black said he and veteran Kris Bryant are on the same schedule, meaning they were to play through the weekend for Albuquerque with an eye toward joining the Rockies for the start of their series in Oakland.

LHP Kyle Freeland (left elbow strain)
Expected return: Mid-June
Freeland joined the team on its West Coast road trip and continues to up the intensity of his pregame throwing sessions in the outfield, manager Bud Black said. Freeland is "a week or 10 days away from getting on the mound," Black said. The veteran starter also will have a Minor League rehab assignment. (Last updated: May 13)

60-DAY IL

RHP Germán Márquez (Tommy John surgery)
Expected return: Around midseason
Manager Bud Black is encouraged by the progress of Márquez, who pitched 1 2/3 innings on May 10 in an Arizona Complex League game -- his first time in a game that counted since sustaining the elbow injury last April 26 at Cleveland. Black said Márquez will have a full Spring Training-type regimen, which will include a lengthy Minor League rehab assignment. After receiving clarification on rehab assignment rules, the Rockies are spacing Márquez's ACL appearances apart far enough that he can restart his rehab clock. He is throwing in extended spring camp between ACL appearances. (Last updated: May 17)

LHP Lucas Gilbreath (Tommy John surgery/left shoulder discomfort)
Expected return: TBD
Gilbreath is showing progress in rehab exercises, manager Bud Black said, but there is no timetable for him to resume throwing. The problem is no longer his elbow. He was pitching on April 23, the first game of a rehab assignment for his elbow injury, when he felt discomfort at the back of his left shoulder and was shut down. (Last updated: May 10)

RHP Antonio Senzatela (Tommy John surgery)
Expected return: TBD
Senzatela, throwing long toss at 120 feet, joined the team in Miami and traveled to Pittsburgh as a change of pace, to rehab under the eye of the Major League staff rather than at the training center in Scottsdale, Ariz. It means Senzatela watched three gut-punch losses in Miami but was there to "support my guys." The Rockies are counting on Senzatela for 2025; however, he expects to make some Minor League appearances in August, and "hopefully pitch a game in September." His recovery is going smoothly.

RHP Daniel Bard (right forearm)
Expected return: 2025
Bard, who tore the meniscus in his left knee while playing catch prior to Spring Training and underwent surgery, had a setback rehabbing and will undergo season-ending surgery on his right arm on May 1. The Rockies placed him on the 60-day IL to add LHP Ty Blach to the active roster.

Bard, 38, is in the final year of a two-year, $19 million contract. Bard has said he would like to return after a year of rehab, but he will see how he feels and consult his family before committing to pitching again. Read more >> (Last updated: April 21)
