Kris Bryant News
Colorado Rockies infielder/outfielder Kris Bryant is back in the starting lineup Monday evening against the San Diego Padres and right-hander Michael Wacha. Bryant didn't start Sunday's series finale against the Giants but did reach base on an error in the ninth inning as part of his club's narrow 11-10 loss and will return to man first base out of the three-hole on Monday in San Diego. The former NL Rookie of the Year and MVP has had a down season while continuing to deal with injuries as he's hitting .254 with 10 home runs and a .734 OPS across 72 appearances, although he's hitting .280 with two HR and an .893 OPS across 27 plate appearances in the month of September. His fantasy stock has taken a turn for the worse, largely due to injuries, over the last handful of seasons.
The Colorado Rockies activated outfielder Kris Bryant (finger) from the injured list on Monday and designated outfielder Cole Tucker for assignment in a corresponding move. Bryant will make his return for the first time since landing on the injured list on July 25 with a fractured left index finger. He's immediately back in the starting lineup on Monday, playing first base and batting cleanup against the visiting Chicago Cubs and left-hander Jordan Wicks. The 31-year-old slugger should see regular playing time down the stretch for Colorado between first base, the outfield and designated hitter. Bryant has struggled to stay healthy the last two years and is returning to a mediocre .251/.338/.379 slash line with eight home runs, 23 RBI and 27 runs scored in his 243 at-bats this year.
Colorado Rockies outfielder Kris Bryant (finger) is expected to come off the 10-day injured list on Monday and play against his former team, the Chicago Cubs. Bryant has been on the shelf since July 22 after suffering a fractured finger on his left hand. It's been an injury-filled two years since joining the Rockies for Bryant. In 65 games this year before going on the injured list, he hit .251 (61-for-243) with eight home runs, seven doubles, 23 RBI and 27 runs scored in 275 plate appearances. The former Rookie of the Year and MVP should see regular playing time between the outfield, first base and designated hitter now that he's back in the big leagues. But fantasy managers shouldn't expect any kind of amazing finish for the aging and now injury-prone Bryant.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Kris Bryant suffered multiple injuries and played just 42 games in 2022. But when healthy, he contributed a .306/.376/.475 slash line with five home runs, 28 runs, and 14 RBI. Bryant found some luck, as expected in Colorado, with a .338 BABIP, but was right around his .335 career BABIP, and he still posted a .279 xBA and .426 xSLG. The 31-year-old didn't hit the ball very hard with an 85 MPH average exit velocity but managed a career-low 14.9% strikeout rate thanks to a 21.5% whiff rate and 24.2% chase rate. And Bryant has produced softer contact for most of his career. Since 2017, his average exit velocities have never been better than the 30th percentile. Bryant's 6.7% barrel percentage was disappointing but still around league average, and as a Rockie, his HR/FB rate won't remain below 10%. The former Rookie of the Year isn't the same hitter as he was when he won MVP in 2016, but he has evolved his game and will still be productive in batting average and power. Bryant's sprint speed was significantly worse this year and led to a goose egg in the stolen base department. However, he did deal with plantar fasciitis and should have a handful of steals next season. Bryant will contribute a little bit of everything in 2023 and bat in the heart of a competent lineup while providing at least 80 runs and RBI across a full season. There might be durability concerns, but the eight-year veteran played an entire 2021 campaign and heads into 2023 healthy. Fantasy managers should feel comfortable drafting Bryant at his 129 ADP, the 31st outfielder off the board.
