In desperate need of an offensive boost, the Colorado Rockies are hopeful that they’ll get their reigning batting champion back in the lineup soon. Carlos Gonzalez took batting practice last night, the first time he’s taken live swings since re-aggravating a right wrist injury on July 21 and going on the 15-day disabled list on the next day. Gonzalez will take more live batting practice before tonight’s game with the Phillies and then will hope to go out on a rehab assignment with one of the Rockies’ minor league affiliates. He’s eligible to come off the disabled list as soon as Friday for that night’s game. The team is 4-6 in Gonzalez’s absence. The Rockies take on the Philadelphia Phillies tonight at Coors Field. ESPN Radio 1410 will have the broadcast with pregame coverage starting at 7:05 and the first pitch at 7:40.
