The Rockies got the worst news of all this afternoon as they had to put All Star SS Troy Tulowitzki on the DL with a broken wrist that will sideline him for the next 6-8 weeks. Tulo was hit by a pitch in Thursday's game vs the Twins.
The Rockies will move second baseman Clint Barmes to SS and have called up AAA second baseman Chris Nelson to play second with Melvin Mora and Johnny Herrera. Nelson was hitting .311-.384-.508 with AAA Colorado Springs with 5 HRs and 20 RBIs. He has a 23/14 K/BB ratio in 132 at bats.
