Colorado Rockies outfielder Kris Bryant exited Saturday afternoon’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies in the third inning due to back tightness.

Bryant was serving as the designated hitter when he struck out swinging in the first inning. But when his spot came up in the third inning, Elehuris Montero came up as a pinch hitter.

Bryant is batting .288 with three homers and six RBIs in 21 games this season.

Last season, Bryant batted .306 with just five homers and 14 RBIs in his first season with the Rockies after signing a seven-year, $182 million deal. He was limited to 42 games due to back and foot injuries.

Bryant was National League MVP in 2016 for the Chicago Cubs. The four-time All-Star has a .280 career average with 175 homers and 507 RBIs in 947 games with the Cubs, San Francisco Giants and Rockies.
