DENVER -- A bruised right calf shelved Gerardo Parra from the starting lineup for the second straight day on Sunday, though the Rockies outfielder is expected to dodge the disabled list.
Parra injured himself on Friday fouling a 92-mph four-seamer off Trevor Williams into his calf in the sixth inning of a 13-5 loss to the Pirates, and left the game the next half-inning. He hasn't been reinstalled since, though manager Bud Black said Parra is day to day and could pinch hit. Head athletic trainer Keith Dugger has been cautious about pushing him immediately back.
