Troy Tulowitzki is headed to the disabled list after an MRI on his right side revealed a broken rib.

Terrible news for the Rockies, who have faded after a hot start but are still in the thick of things in the NL West. Tulo has been dealing with rib soreness for a week and had to leave Thursday's game after aggravating the injury. He has had an MVP-caliber first half, batting .347/.413/.635 with 16 homers and 51 RBI. It's not clear how long Tulo will be sidelined, but Troy Renck of the Denver Post expects the absence to be "lengthy." Josh Rutledge will likely be called up to handle shortstop.

Troy Tulowitzki underwent an MRI due to sore ribs.

Tulo's ribs have apparently been hurting for about a week, and he aggravated the ailment on a dive Thursday. There's no word yet on the MRI results, but the Rockies should hopefully provide an update before too long.

Troy Tulowitzki left Thursday's game against the Nationals in the eighth inning with an apparent injury.

Carlos Gonzalez and Dexter Fowler also left the game with injuries, so this wasn't a good day for the Rockies. No word on the exact nature of Tulo's injury, but Troy Renck of the Denver Post notes that he didn't look right after making a diving stop of a ground ball. There should be an update soon.

Troy Tulowitzki went 5-for-5 with two home runs as the Rockies trounced the Reds on Wednesday.

A night after delivering the game-winning homer, Tulo followed up by collecting five hits, including two more home runs. He raised his average to .349 with the big night, and his 48 RBI trail only Paul Goldschmidt's 49 in the National League. Had his teammate Carlos Gonzalez not hit three home runs himself, Tulo would almost surely have been the first National Leaguer to 50 RBI with his monster night.

Troy Tulowitzki hit a game-winning, two-run homer to help the Rockies top the Reds 5-4 on Tuesday.

The homer, his 13th of the season, was Tulo's only hit of the game. He now has 45 RBI and a .332/.398/.611 batting line. He's proving that when healthy, there isn't a better fantasy shortstop in the game.

Troy Tulowitzki is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Diamondbacks.

The Rockies also have a scheduled day off on Thursday, so it's not a bad way to give him a rest. Jonathan Herrera will make the start at shortstop.

Troy Tulowitzki does roughly two hours of pregame and postgame maintenance on his left leg every day.

The maintenance includes massages and strengthening exercises before the game and sitting in the ice tub and a routine with exercise bands after the game. Tulo admits that his nagging left groin ailment leaves him "not capable" of playing every day. The injury bothers the shortstop most when he's running, particularly when he lunges to first base and sometimes when he breaks out of the batter's box. The Rockies are doing their best to manage the condition, and assistant general manager Bill Geivett admits that the club is "being overly cautious." Tulo has started 34 of the team's first 42 games and will probably continue to play at a similar pace. He's been awfully productive, hitting .341/.413/.605 with eight homers and 35 RBI, but obviously the groin issue remains a long-term concern.

Troy Tulowitzki went 4-for-5 with a double and two RBI as the Rockies topped the Giants 10-2 on Saturday.

Tulo has hit safely in each of his last five games. In that stretch, he's 11-for-23 (.478) with three doubles, four RBI and five runs scored. As always, health is the only thing that threatens his elite fantasy status.

Troy Tulowitzki went 3-for-5 with two doubles as the Rockies defeated the Cubs on Tuesday.

Tulo doubled twice and scored two runs on the night. The shortstop is now hitting .324 with 32 RBI, and he's unquestionably the best fantasy shortstop going these days. At this point, health will be the only thing that keeps him from finishing the season that way as well.

Troy Tulowitzki belted his eighth home run of 2013 to help the Rockies beat the Cardinals 8-2 on Sunday.

The Rockies had been shut out all series before Tulowitzki's three-run blast off Jaime Garcia in the top of the third inning. Charlie Blackmon then added a two-run shot in the sixth. Tulo is batting .324/.415/.627 in 33 games this season and he's on pace for 35 homers and 136 RBI. He just needs to stay healthy.

Troy Tulowitzki (leg) is in the Rockies' starting lineup on Thursday afternoon against the Yankees.

It's his first start since Sunday. Tulowitzki was bothered by leg tightness but expects to be fine going forward. "The rest has benefited me a lot," he told reporters before Thursday afternoon's series-finale with the Yanks. "Three days ago, there was a lot of pain out there."
May 9 - 1:09 PM

Troy Tulowitzki (leg) is not in the Rockies' lineup again Wednesday.

Tulo worked out before the game and his sore adductor muscle felt good, but the Rockies don't feel comfortable enough putting him out there yet. It's possible he'll be ready to return on Thursday in the series finale against the Yankees.
