In what is likely his final season in a Rockies uniform, Charlie Blackmon is trying to stay patient as he waits for his broken right hand to heal.
“It’s different. It’s an adjustment,” the veteran outfielder/designated hitter said Friday before the Rockies hosted the Tigers at Coors Field. “I’d rather be playing, certainly.”
“It’s tough not really being a contributor,” he said. “No matter what I do, it’s rarely critical. Whether it’s bringing energy to the dugout or talking to guys off the field, that’s not a lot of impact.” Blackmon is in the final year of his six-year, $108 million contract. He exercised his $15.3 million player option to play his 13th season with the Rockies. He said he’s not dwelling on the fact that he’s been injured for a good chunk of the season.. Right fielder Kris Bryant, who’s been on the injured list since June 1 with an injured left heel , returned to the lineup Friday, starting in right field and hitting second.
Bryant, 31, hit .263 with five homers and 17 RBIs in 50 games before the injury. He hit 1 for 4 with a walk in his one rehab game at Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.
