MLB Note - Colorado Rockies Desmond, Ian

Jul 29, 2017 - 8:19 AM OF/1B Ian Desmond was placed on the 10-day disabled list, retroactive to July 26, with a right calf strain. Desmond is batting .285 with five home runs and 32 RBIs in 65 games for the Rockies. This will be his second stint on the disabled with a right calf strain and his third stint on the disabled list this season. "I think with this injury Desi felt, talking to me, talking to (head trainer Keith Dugger), this was the prudent thing to do," Rockies manager Bud Black said. "This was an injury that re-occurred. To try to go day to day and hopefully he would get better to the point where he can play his game might not have happened."
