Rockies designated hitter Kris Bryant slated for a procedure on his back Thursday in Los Angeles
- Kris Bryant, the designated hitter for the Colorado Rockies, is set to undergo a back ablation procedure in Los Angeles on Thursday to treat his injury.
- Bryant has lumbar degenerative disk disease causing recurring pain and has spent nine stints on the injured list since 2022 due to various health issues.
- At 33 years old, Bryant agreed to a seven-year deal worth $182 million prior to the start of the 2022 campaign, but he has appeared in only 170 games for Colorado and is currently batting.154 without any home runs this year.
- Rockies manager Bud Black indicated that, according to medical advice, Bryant’s treatment should reduce some of his discomfort, while Bryant expressed his desire to continue playing and plans to consult with doctors about additional options.
- The ablation aims to block pain signals from Bryant’s back to the brain, potentially reducing discomfort and aiding his eventual return to the field.
