Colorado Rockies outfielder Kris Bryant (back) is serving as the designated hitter and is batting third in Wednesday's Cactus League lineup against the Los Angeles Dodgers and left-hander Clayton Kershaw. Bryant dealt with back stiffness the last couple of days, but he's back in there on Wednesday. The 31-year-old veteran also missed considerable time in 2022 in his first year with the Rockies due to a back injury, so it's understandable that the Rockies aren't taking any chances with him in spring training. The four-time All-Star played in just 42 games last year, but he hit .306 with five home runs and 14 RBI in 181 plate appearances. Bryant will come cheap in drafts this year because of last year's injuries and his drop in power, so he could be a nice late-round value pick if he stays on the field in 2023.

Colorado Rockies third baseman Kris Bryant was a late scratch ahead of Monday's Cactus League game. It sounds like the slugger isn't dealing with an injury, but the team wanted to give him an extra day to rest. The Rockies are trying to manage Bryant's workload heading into 2023 after he played 42 games last season. The 31-year-old is hitting .278 with three home runs and four RBI this spring. Bryant has the potential to be a superstar, but injuries continue to hold him back. Hopefully, Bryant can stay healthy and should benefit from playing in Coors Field.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Kris Bryant looked good at the plate in Monday's 7-3 win over the A's, going 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk. The 31-year-old served as the designated hitter in the game, but will likely play left field during the regular season. This is encouraging for both the Rockies and fantasy managers, as Bryant missed the majority of the 2022 season due to a number of injuries, including a season-ending foot injury. He likely will only be outfield eligible this season, which is a shame given the relative scarcity of third base. However, Bryant has provided pop and average with a bit of speed throughout his career, and he should be able to benefit from Coors Field if he can stay healthy.

The 31-year-old is poised for a healthy 2023 season as he hopes to prove to the Rockies that their investment was worth all $182 million. Bryant was productive in 2021 after splitting his season with the Chicago Cubs and San Francisco Giants. He received an All-Star nod and smacked 25 home runs with an .835 OPS. If the Rockies can get Bryant back on track, he'll likely be the focal point of the offense.

Bryant only managed to play in 42 games in his first year with the Rockies due to multiple injuries, mainly plantar fasciitis in his foot.

When the four-time All-Star was healthy in 2022, though, he hit a strong .306/.376/.475 with an .851 OPS, five home runs, 14 RBI and 28 runs scored in 181 plate appearances.

We are optimistic about him showing up (healthy) at spring training," general manager Bill Schmidt said.

We'll be monitoring his status closely as spring training nears.

Time will tell if he can stay healthy in 2023, but if he can, he could be a bargain in fantasy drafts.
