Tulowitzki out for year
SAN DIEGO — The Colorado Rockies say All-Star shortstop Troy Tulowitzki will have surgery on his left hip Friday in Vail, Colorado, and miss the rest of the season.
The team announced the news following their 5-3 loss to the Padres on Wednesday.
Tulowitzki, whose .340 batting average remains tops in the big leagues, was placed on the 15-day disabled list on July 22, three days after he was hurt running out a grounder at Pittsburgh.
While it was Tulowitzki’s first trip to the DL this season, he had taken days off to rest his chronically tight legs.
