Kris Bryant is currently on the injured list, recovering from an ablation procedure aimed at alleviating chronic back pain that has severely impacted his performance. He expressed hope that this intervention will finally provide relief after exhausting traditional treatments like cortisone shots, which have failed to yield results. Bryant reports feeling optimistic, despite experiencing significant discomfort post-procedure.

His struggles with injuries have confined him to just 170 games since signing a lucrative $182 million contract with the Rockies in 2022. After struggling through various injuries, including a deteriorating lumbar disk issue, he emphasizes a cautious approach to recovery. For now, he’ll take it one day at a time, focusing on rehabilitation and aiming to return to full strength to contribute to the Colorado Rockies.
