Although the Rockies’ offense is starting to turn things around, the impending return of injured first baseman Daniel Murphy could speed up the process.
When the veteran departed from the Coors Field clubhouse Friday night to begin his injury rehabilitation assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque, he told teammates he would be back soon from the broken index finger he suffered in the second game of the season.
But it appears that Murphy could be a quick healer. Murphy went 1-for-5 on Saturday night and then went 1-for-4 with a home run and two walks for the Isotopes on Sunday.
