Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki will likely avoid the disabled list despite a strained quadriceps.
There was concern that he might be sidelined for weeks.
"But it's not a DL situation," manager Jim Tracy said.
He won't play until Wednesday at the earliest.
Colorado placed outfielder Carlos Gonzalez on the bereavement list Monday, a move that helped Tulowitzki avoid the DL.
