Jordan Lyles Out For Year With Toe Injury

By Jeff Todd | June 3, 2015 at 4:03pm CDT

Rockies righty Jordan Lyles will miss the rest of the season after suffering an injury to his left big toe, the club announced (via Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post). The digit’s medial collateral ligament and capsule require repair.

Acquired as part of the pre-2014 Dexter Fowler trade, Lyles had something of a breakout season in his first year with Colorado. An unfortunate left hand fracture caused him to miss significant time, and he was far less effective after the season’s first month, but things were pointing up on the whole.

After agreeing to a $2.48MM deal to avoid arbitration, Lyles figured as one of the Rockies’ best starters. The results have not been there, as his ERA sits at a somewhat disappointing 5.14 and he’s dropped back to 5.5 K/9.

But the 25-year-old has maintained his velocity and approximately 50% groundball rate. And FIP credits him with his lowest annual mark (an evaluation not shared by xFIP and SIERA, however).

It does not seem like the Rockies are going anywhere this year, with or without Lyles, but the loss of another competent arm could make a date at the auction block more likely for several veterans. In the long run, Colorado will probably not be too concerned about Lyles’ ability to bounce back, particularly since the injury isn’t to his arm.

With the Rockies having tendered a contract to TJ patient Tyler Chatwood last year, I’d expect they’ll do the same next fall with Lyles.

    I have to say, that just doesn’t sound like fun at all.

    Mets 6-man rotation and AAA pitching prospects say they’d be happy to help out.

    Lyles looked good very early on with the stros, but then just fell off. Couldn’t get it together. Appel reminds me of Lyles. Neither one may amount to anything.

      Appel has been that bad?

        Appel started out pitching well at Corpus, and then had 3 or 4 starts in a row where he stunk, and now just pitched 5 innings of 1 run ball. He’s not consistent, his ERA is around 5, and overall he is a disappointment. He can still get it together, like Lyles, but the inconsistency is something he needs to get over, quickly.
