UPDATED: Troy Tulowitzki returns, Huston Street goes down
By John Livingston | July 27, 2010
UPDATE: Jim Tracy, Rockies manager, had this to say about Huston Street’s injury after Tuesday night’s 4-2 home loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
“Obviously it is a freak accident and unfortunate. They took him to the hospital; did a CT Scan and all of the necessary things…it’s quite a contusion and he is obviously day-to-day. (There is) No significant injury so we dodged a bullet but he got hit really hard.”
Just as one returns, another player goes down for the Colorado Rockies.
Troy Tulowitzki returned to the Rockies lineup on Tuesday night as the club opened a pivotal three-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates. However, during pregame batting practice, Ian Stewart drilled a line drive that hit closer Huston Street in the pelvic region, causing him to crumble to the ground in pain.

While trying to get to his feet, Street fainted due to the pain. Paramedics rushed to his aid and he was taken off the field in a stretcher to nearby Rose Medical Center.
No update has been given as to Street’s condition. Rockies trainer, Keith Dugger, told the Denver Post’s Jim Armstrong that he thought Street’s body went into shock and that he experienced ringing in his ears — a common sign of shock — stomach pain and pain in his right leg.
When an update is available I will try to get it up as quickly as possible.
On a brighter note, Tulo’s return could be just in time for the Rockies, who are slumping after going 2-9 on the last road trip including being swept by the Philadelphia Phillies.
His leadership will be welcomed back to the dugout. The Rockies need him to spark a run in August to get back in Wild Card contention.
Many had expectations for the Rockies and Tulowitzki to lead Major League Baseball this year. Tulowitzki won’t be up for any individual awards now this year, after missing 33 games, but the Rockies still have a shot at the Wild Card. It is just going to take another magical Rockies run into October.
Let’s see if Jim Tracy and Tulo can inspire the club.
“obviously it is a freak accident, unfortunate, update: took him to hop, CT scan, necessary things, quite a contusion and is obivously day-to-day, no significant injury so we dodged a bullet but he got hit really hard…
