Rockies' Raimel Tapia: Run bases

Tapia (toe) was spotted running in the infield prior to Sunday's 8-4 loss to the Diamondbacks, the Associated Press reports.

Tapia initiated a running program Friday, when he did some sprinting in the outfield. The 27-year-old added more change-of-direction running to the mix Sunday when he moved his workout to the infield, but he'll still need to prove he can sprint out of the batter's box without discomfort before the Rockies sent him out on a rehab assignment. Tapia doesn't look like he's on pace to return from the 10-day injured list at any point during the Rockies' upcoming six-game week, but he could be reinstated when rosters expand Sept. 1.
