10-DAY/15-DAY INJURED LIST

OF Nolan Jones (low back strain)
Expected return: Mid-May
Jones, whose rough start led to a .170 batting average through the last time he played on April 28, did some running and throwing during the weekend and is "itching to do some stuff -- itching to get in the cage," Rockies manager Bud Black said. However, the club wanted the results of a consultation with a doctor on May 7 before deciding on Jones' next step. (Last updated: May 7)

1B Kris Bryant (low back strain)
Expected return: TBD
Manager Bud Black said on May 7 that Bryant has begun to ramp up his activity.

"It was a positive day today for KB -- he was in the cage hitting off the tee and some soft-toss, running, playing catch, so the baseball activity has increased," Black said. "Thumbs up on KB's progress. No timetable."

Bryant, hitting .149 with one homer through 13 games this year, has missed considerable time since signing a seven-year contract before the 2022 season. (Last updated: May 7)

LHP Kyle Freeland (left elbow strain)
Expected return: Possibly late May
The Rockies have taken the steady route with Freeland, who on May 7 began throwing a weighted ball against a net. He's also doing short arm motions.

"I didn't feel any pain, bite -- nothing like that, so we'll continue to move forward day to day," Freeland said. "I wish I had a timeline, but something like this is going to take some time." (Last updated: May 7)

60-DAY IL

LHP Lucas Gilbreath (Tommy John surgery)
Expected return: TBD
Gilbreath 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 shoulder and was shut down and transferred to the 60-day IL. Gilbreath pinpointed the injury to his "teres major, in the armpit, almost -- not the labrum, and the rotator cuff in general is in really good shape."

Gilbreath is in a rest period for an injury that is not considered major, but said, "It's very frustrating -- all you want to do is pitch, and now you're sitting." (Last updated: May 7)

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)

RHP Germán Márquez (Tommy John surgery)
Expected return: Around midseason
Manager Bud Black said Márquez's rehab is going as planned. He has remained on schedule with facing hitters at extended spring training, and there have been no setbacks. (Last updated: April 20)
