Ezequiel Tovar Injury: Lands on IL with hip contusion

The Rockies placed Tovar on the 10-day injured list Saturday, retroactive to April 16, due to a left hip contusion.

Tovar was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Dodgers due to the left hip injury. The issue is severe enough to warrant a stint on the injured list, and how he responds to treatment over the coming days will help determine his timeline for a return. Aaron Schunk's contract was selected from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move, and he'll start at shortstop and bat ninth against the Nationals on Saturday. Kyle Farmer could also see some playing time at shortstop while Tovar is sidelined.
