Colorado Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki suffers with sore left groin – MLB News
The Colorado Rockies short stop Troy Tulowitzki is having sore in left groin which now puts his future playing time in slight risk.
He is carrying this groin pain since Tuesday’s game and in the meanwhile, the team doctors are not sure that how long it will take him to recover. He will need some excessive exercises with his private trainers before coming back onto the field.
On Tuesday, firstly he ran towards first base losing his composure, he stretched his legs too wide which resulted in constant and immense pain. Later, he was given the first aid, but his pain was too much that he was brought into the locker-room.
Tulowitzki said, “It just grabbed me. There's a day off tomorrow. I've got to get out of this time where I'm pushing through it. I kind of took a smart day here. It's tough because we aren't playing well. It's not an easy thing for me.”
The Rockies manager Jim Tracy also commented on Tulowitzki’s injury and told the kind of impact the team will face in his absence. He said, "He's safe, vs. the jog, double play, inning over and Todd Helton leading the next inning off, He got us an extra
hitter, which got us a run on the Helton RBI line drive to left field. It also gave us the opportunity to reload the bases [before Ramon Hernandez flied to right].”
Before getting hurt, the Rockies shortstop was playing well with a hitting average of .277 along with three home runs, 13 RBIs and .344 OBP. On the other hand his career hitting is consistent at .292 along with 125 home runs, 456 RBIs and .363 of OBP.
Tulowitzki is good player and possesses some six years of Major League experience. Over the past six years, he has been playing a good role for the Rockies. Came in 2006, Tulowitzki has achieved number of deserted awards with the Colorado franchise including
two-time All Star selections along with two-time National League Gold Glove award and two National League Silver Slugger awards.
With so much MLB awards along with so much experience and baseball skills, Tulowitzki certainly is a good player and his fast recovery from groin injury is much needed in the team.
