The Colorado Rockies have lost catcher Tom Murphy for four to six weeks after he suffered a hairline fracture in his right forearm.

Murphy's arm struck the bat of the Chicago Cubs' Anthony Rizzo while he was trying to throw to second on a steal attempt Saturday.

He is in a splint but won't need surgery, according to Bud Black.

Ian Desmond will undergo surgery to repair the second metacarpal in his left hand on Wednesday, according to the Colorado Rockies.

Desmond was hit by a pitch on Sunday.

The Rockies signed Desmond to a five-year, $70 million deal this offseason.

Rockies first baseman Ian Desmond suffered a broken left hand after he was hit by a pitch on Sunday.

Desmond was struck in the fourth inning by a pitch from Reds right-hander Rookie Davis. Desmond will see a hand specialist on Monday.

The 31-year-old Desmond signed a five-year, $70 million deal with the Rockies this offseason after playing last year for the Rangers.

Looking for a novel way to break the spring training monotony, new Rockies manager Bud Black hit the bull's-eye Sunday. An archery tournament, with pitcher Kyle Freeland outscoring LeMahieu, bullpen coach Darren Holmes and catcher Tom Murphy to win the event.

David Dahl has been diagnosed with a stress reaction in his ribs and will be reevaluated in two weeks, according to the Colorado Rockies.

Dahl was scratched from the lineup last week with what was initially described as back soreness and was expected to miss a few days.

The Rockies are hoping Dahl can return to play in games before the end of spring training.

"Extended [absence] is, to me, like months -- this is not," Black said. "Baseball activity hopefully will start in a couple weeks. ... I do anticipate him getting into a game here. If not, then it doesn't happen."

Greg Holland has yet to pitch in an exhibition game, but the Colorado Rockies remain optimistic that he'll be ready for the start of the regular season.

Holland, who signed with the Rockies in free agency, won't make his Cactus League debut until next week at the earliest. He underwent Tommy John surgery in 2015.

"As a competitor, you want to be out there. If you can't, it's demoralizing," Holland, 31, said. "But you have to understand that there is a right way and there is a science behind this. You have to stay patient with it, as hard as it is. I think I have done a pretty good job of that."
