Rockies Add Holliday To DL

The Rockies added outfielder Matt Holliday to the disabled list on Sunday because of an injured hamstring, according to The Denver Post.

He was replaced on the team's roster by Cory Sullivan, who was called up Sunday from Triple-A Colorado Springs.

"I felt it grab a little bit; we'll see how it feels," Holliday said Saturday after injuring it in a loss to the Mets. "It's tough to tell right now; I've got ice all over it."

Colorado is already without Brad Hawpe, Clint Barnes, Troy Tulowitzki, Luis Vizcaino, and Jason Hirsh.

Colorado's Holliday Injuries Hamstring

Rockies' outfielder Matt Holliday injured his left hamstring running to first base on a groundout against the Mets on Saturday afternoon, according to The Denver Post.

"I felt it grab a little bit; we'll see how it feels tomorrow [Sunday]," Holliday said. "It's tough to tell right now; I've got ice all over it."

He hasn't had a hamstring injury in the past, so he's unsure of how long it'll take to heal properly.

The Rockies (19-30) are ten games behind the Diamondbacks in the National League West.

Tulowitzki Takes Batting Practice

Rockies' shortstop Troy Tulowitzki took batting practice with the team's pitchers on Tuesday, according to 9News in Colorado.

It marked the first time he took the field since injuring his quadriceps on April 29. He may remain out until the All-Star break as the team remains cautious with his injury.

"That's the smartest way," Tulowitzki said. "They know how I am and would try to play today if I could. They're taking good care of me."
