Denver Post: Tulo could be out until midseason

Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki told teammates today that he’s facing a 4-to-8 week absence after being diagnosed with a torn left quadriceps.

When reached today, Tulowitzki told The Denver Post he’s still unsure how long he will be sidelined. “I don’t know,” Tulowitzki said. “It’s obviously frustrating.”

Agent Paul Cohen confirmed to The Denver Post that Tulowitzki is facing a lengthy hiatus after injuring his leg charging a groundball on Tuesday night in San Francisco.

“It’s a complete tear, which obviously isn’t good news,” Cohen said. “They don’t believe surgery is necessary, that it will be self healing. But it’s not something where he can come back in two to three weeks.”

With Tulowitzki out, Clint Barmes, the man he replaced in 2006, is expected to take over the starting job.
