Rockies Journal: Ezequiel Tovar returns, but will Brenton Doyle ever find his way back?

Shortstop Ezequiel Tovar and center fielder Brenton Doyle were tagged as the Rockies’ future. The team even held bobblehead nights for both players.

But the promise turned into disappointment during the Rockies’ hideous first half of the season.

Tovar was a victim of fate, missing 63 games because of injuries — first a left hip contusion early in the season, followed by a left oblique strain. He finally returned to the lineup Friday night vs. the Twins as part of what manager Warren Schaeffer called a “fresh start” as the team returned from the All-Star break.

Doyle’s struggles are more concerning.
