Rockies' Kris Bryant: In walking boot, without timeline
Rotowire
Bryant has been wearing a walking boot on his injured left foot since landing on the injured list Aug. 1 and is without a timeline for a return, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Bryant is eligible to return from the IL this week, but the fact that he's still in a boot and has yet to advance to baseball activities suggests he'll be sidelined beyond the minimum 10 days. Until Bryant's plantar fasciitis dissipates and he's able to shed the boot and resume running, fielding and hitting, the Rockies likely won't provide a target date for his return. With just under two months left in the season, fantasy managers in shallower leagues in particular may not have the luxury of stashing Bryant, since his return doesn't seem to be imminent.

Rockies' Kris Bryant: Exits with foot injury
Rotowire
Bryant was removed in the top of the sixth inning of Sunday's game against the Dodgers with left foot soreness, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Bryant acknowledged a few days ago that he had been playing through plantar fasciitis in the same foot since the week before the All-Star break, so it's not a great sign that he was forced to exit early Sunday on account of the issue. Yonathan Daza came off the bench to replace Bryant, who went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored prior to departing. He can be viewed as day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener in San Diego until the Rockies provide another update on his condition.

Rockies' Kris Bryant: Headed for paternity leave
Rotowire
Bryant is expected to be placed on the paternity list Monday while he awaits the birth of his child, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.
Bryant exited Sunday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks due to cramping, but it'll be a personal matter that will keep him out for the start of the Rockies' home series with the Padres. Expect Colorado to officially place Bryant on the paternity list shortly before Monday's 8:40 p.m. ET opening pitch, with MLB rules allowing the 30-year-old to remain away from the team for 1-to-3 days. Bryant should be fully recovered from the cramping issue by then and will likely rejoin the lineup for Thursday's series finale with San Diego.

The Rockies officially placed Bryant (personal) on the paternity list Monday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post
Bryant doesn't appear as a bench option on the Rockies' lineup card for Monday's game against the Padres while Sam Hilliard does, implying that the latter player was called up from Triple-A Albuquerque to replace Bryant on the active roster. Per MLB rules, Bryant is able to spend 1-to-3 days away from the team while on the paternity list, so fantasy managers likely shouldn't count on him returning to the lineup until Thursday's series finale with the Padres. Bryant exited late in Sunday's win over the Diamondbacks after experiencing cramping, but he should be ready to step back in as an everyday player once he rejoins the team.
