Rockies Place Ezequiel Tovar on 10-Day Injured List

The Colorado Rockies placed shortstop Ezequiel Tovar on the 10-day injured list due to a left hip contusion, following his recent absence and scratch from the lineup because of hip pain. Outfielder Brenton Doyle was also placed on the bereavement list, prompting the team to recall outfielder Jordan Beck and select infielder Aaron Schunk from Triple-A to fill roster spots. Veteran Kyle Farmer will assume shortstop duties during Tovar’s absence, and Adael Amador is expected to see time at second base. Additionally, pitcher Austin Gomber was transferred to the 60-day injured list to clear a roster spot for Schunk. Tovar’s injury adds to a sluggish start to his season, with his offensive performance lagging despite continued defensive strength. The roster moves are aimed at maintaining flexibility and giving the team more tactical options as they navigate early-season challenges.
