Versatile Rockies outfielder Sean Bouchard, on a path for extensive playing time this season, has sustained a major injury.
last week that will require surgery and will likely cost him the season, and left-hander reliever Lucas Gilbreath will undergo Tommy John surgery next week and is out for the season.
Bouchard left Wednesday’s Cactus League game with an arm injury sustained during a first-inning at-bat. He underwent an MRI Thursday morning and the test revealed the rupture. His performance opened the way for the Rockies to trade Connor Joe to Pittsburgh for right-handing pitching prospect Nick Garcia. Bouchard was expected to start in left field this season after the Rockies made the decision to move Kris Bryant to right field.
Also, veteran utility player Harold Castro, in camp on a minor-league deal, has enjoyed a solid spring camp, hitting .476, and now appears to be a lock for the 26-man roster. Castro, who played center field in his native Venezuela, might be an option as the Rockies’ center fielder on opening day, with Yonathan Daza starting in left.
