Karros has been on the 7-day injured list twice since mid-August, which is worrisome, but he appears to be in the clear now. He is slated to remain with Hartford through the end of the weekend. If all goes well, Karros appears poised for a return to the Rockies' active roster next week as the club begins a road trip.

This plan all depends on whether Karros comes out of concussion protocol Tuesday, though either way, he appears to be trending in the right direction. The 24-year-old landed back on the concussion injured list Aug. 23 after experiencing additional symptoms, so the club is presumably taking it slow with the third baseman to ensure he's fully healthy before activating him. If all goes well, Karros could be back in the big leagues for the start of Colorado's road series Sept. 8 against the Yankees.
