Rockies OF Dahl (ankle) lands on IL

The Colorado Rockies placed All-Star outfielder David Dahl on the 10-day injured list with a high right ankle sprain, suffered Friday night against the San Francisco Giants. Dahl was carted off the field in the top of the sixth inning after his right leg bent awkwardly as he tried to change direction to catch a line drive hit by Scooter Gennett, who was making his debut with the Giants.

Dahl tried to plant his left foot to reach back for the ball, and while he made the catch, his right ankle buckled in the process. The Colorado Rockies recalled outfielder Yonathan Daza from Triple-A Albuquerque in advance of Saturday's home game against San Francisco. Daza, hitting .364 with Albuquerque, has one hit in 18 bats with the Rockies this season.

Dahl, 25, is hitting .302 with 15 home runs, 61 RBIs and 67 runs scored in 100 games. Dahl, the 10th overall pick in the 2012 draft, has a lengthy injury history, having missed most of the 2013 season in the minors with a severely torn hamstring. After hitting .315 in his rookie season with the Rockies in 2016, Dahl suffered a rib-cage injury and didn't play in the majors in 2017.
