DENVER (Reuters) - The Colorado Rockies will be without shortstop Troy Tulowitzki for a at least six weeks after he suffered a broken wrist.
Tulowitzki was hit on the left wrist by a pitch from Minnesota Twins reliever Alex Burnett on Thursday.
"It will be every bit of six weeks, would be my guess," Rockies manager Jim Tracy told reporters. "I'm not going to shy away from the fact that this is quite the punch in the gut."
Tulowitzki is batting .306, which is second among National League shortstops, and has a team-leading 72 hits with nine home runs and 34 RBIs.
