Rockies Gold Glove second baseman Brendan Rodgers’ season may be over before it gets started. And left-handed reliever Lucas Gilbreath is likely facing Tommy John surgery, which would wipe out his season, too.
That was the double-whammy of bad news reported by manager Bud Black Thursday morning from the Rockies’ spring training facility at Salt River Fields in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Rodgers, who dislocated his left shoulder diving for a ball in a Cactus League game on Tuesday, had an MRI and the results showed significant damage. Rodgers might have to undergo surgery and that could cost him the entire 2023 season, Black told reporters.
