Kris Bryant Lands on IL Again, Rockies Fans Disappointed.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Kris Bryant has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left heel bruise. Bryant, who is in the second year of his seven-year, $182 million deal with the Rockies, has been struggling with his batting this season, hitting only five home runs in 50 games while slugging an abysmal .374.
