"Brenton Doyle has a sprained left wrist, reports Thomas Harding of MLB.com. The defensive stalwart has sat out the last three Spring Training contests after experiencing soreness pregame on Wednesday. He'll continue to rest for a few days before heading for follow-up examination. There's no indication at this point that Doyle's availability for Opening Day is in jeopardy."
"Doyle is looking to rebound offensively after a rough year. He hit .233/.274/.376 across 538 plate appearances, ranking among the bottom five hitters in MLB in on-base percentage (min. 500 PAs). It was a disappointing follow-up to a more encouraging 2024 campaign. Doyle had connected on 23 homers and stolen 30 bases while batting .260/.317/.446 two seasons ago."
"If Doyle can get back to near league average at the plate, he'd be a very valuable all-around player. He's a good baserunner and, as the aforementioned hardware illustrates, among the best defensive players in the sport. The Rockies have gotten trade calls on the 27-year-old but understandably didn't have interest in what would have been a sell-low trade over the offseason."
Brenton Doyle, the Rockies' center fielder, sustained a sprained left wrist and has missed three Spring Training games. The injury occurred Wednesday during pregame soreness. While no timeline has been specified, Doyle has a month to recover before Opening Day, and his availability is not currently considered at risk. The two-time Gold Glove winner is seeking offensive improvement after batting .233 last season, a significant decline from his .260 average two years prior. If healthy, Doyle remains a valuable all-around player combining elite defense with baserunning ability. The Rockies retained him through 2029 despite trade inquiries.
