“We’ll know more (after imaging on Friday) how it sets up, but we’re hoping it’s about the same as the injury that happened in Albuquerque three weeks ago,” manager Bud Black said via The Denver Post.
“When Soler hit it, I didn’t think he got it, but Doyle got a great jump on it and initially, I thought he caught it. When I saw him go down, we all gasped, and from that point you just cross your fingers.”

“I’m true to my word, so maybe eventually I’ll do it again. I’m 100% out there and I want to track everything I can.”
