Story (elbow) to undergo tests after early exit

LOS ANGELES -- Rockies shortstop Trevor Story departed Monday night's 8-2 loss to the Dodgers in the fourth inning with right elbow soreness.
Story appeared to be in pain during a swing and miss on a pitch from Dodgers starter Hyun Jin Ryu. He grimaced immediately, motioning for trainers. Manager Bud Black and assistant trainer Scott Gehret came out to check, and Story left the game.
Story had felt a twinge in his elbow after making a throw to first base on a diving stop in the first inning. He felt discomfort on his swing, and the team decided to make a precautionary move and remove him from the game.
"I felt something on the throw when I dove for the ball," Story said. "My elbow was a little tight, but I just tried to play through it. When I swung through that pitch, it kind of extended my arm and I felt it a little more."

Story is expected to undergo more tests Tuesday. 
"Anytime you have to take a player out of the game, and you have to wait a little bit on some scans that might take place tomorrow -- there's some apprehension," Black said. "I'm thinking positive, and the trainers feel good about some of the [early] tests they've done."u5:p
Losing Story for any extended amount of time would be a devastating blow for Colorado, which fell a half-game back of Los Angeles after Monday's loss. Story has slugged himself him into potential National League MVP Award consideration and was slugging .289/.344/.551 heading into Monday. He sits one behind Nolan Arenado for most home runs on the team with 33 and his .981 fielding percentage is the third-highest in the National League.
"It's tough, unfortunate, frustrating for me," Story added. "You never want to come out of the game, especially a game like this. It's such a huge series."
