PHILADELPHIA — The Colorado Rockies placed Kris Bryant on the 10-day injured list with a low back strain.

The Rockies made the move prior to Wednesday night’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies. The 32-year-old Bryant had missed the last three games after crashing into the outfield wall to make a catch in Saturday’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays. The move was retroactive to April 14.

The Rockies recalled outfielder Sean Bouchard from Triple-A Albuquerque to take Bryant’s place.

The Rockies, who lost a club-record 103 games last season, dropped to 4-14 with Tuesday’s 5-0 loss to Philadelphia. They are 2-10 on the road after they had the worst road record in the majors last year at 22-59.
