Rockies Gold Glove second baseman Brendan Rodgers’ season may be over before it gets started. And left-handed reliever Lucas Gilbreath is likely facing Tommy John surgery, which would wipe out his season, too.
That was the double-whammy of bad news reported by manager Bud Black Thursday morning from the Rockies’ spring training facility at Salt River Fields in Scottsdale, Ariz.
“The results were, to put it bluntly, not what we had hoped for,” Black told MLB.com after receiving the results of Rodgers’ MRI. “(There’s) a little more damage than what we thought. We were hoping for the best on this one but we didn’t get that news.”
