<p><a href="http://twitter.com/TroyRenck/status/18943698116" target="new">Troy Renck tweeted</a> Troy Tulowitzki’s probable rehabilitation schedule earlier today.</p>
<p>The Rockies’ All Star shortstop will play two rehab starts for the AA Tulsa Drillers July 24-25, with a return to the Rockies’ lineup tentatively scheduled for July 28, barring any setbacks.</p>
<p>Tulowitzki has been on the Disabled List for the past month with a broken hamate bone, but the Rockies have found success with Clint Barmes as a temporary replacement. Regardless of the team’s recent success, having the clubhouse leader back in action will be a major boon to their second half chances.</p>

<p>Andrew Martin of <a href="http://www.purplerow.com/2010/6/18/1525261/troy-tulowitzki-to-the-dl" target="new">Purple Row reacts</a> to the Tulo injury:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>So far this season, Tulo has posted a .306/.375/.502 line with 9HR, 34RBI. Tulo’s .386 wOBA was 3rd best on the team, and his 2.3 <span class="caps">WAR</span> ranked 2nd.</p>
<p>Word is that Clint Barmes will slide to SS. I’d like to see Nelson take some reps there as well.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>With a less than adequate replacement at shortstop in Barmes and the unproven Herrera and Nelson platooning at second, the Rockies will need to avoid a June and July swoon. If not, the playoffs will be out of reach.</p>

<p>Both <a target="_blank" href="http://www.insidetherockies.com/2010/06/18/troy-tulowitzki-suffers-broken-wrist/">Tracy Ringolsby</a> and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.denverpost.com/ci_15327713">Troy Renck</a> report that troy Tulowitzki suffered a broken hamate bone in Thursday's game when he was hit by an <span>Alex Burnett</span> pitch. He is expected to be out for a month, possibly two.</p>
<p>This is a major blow to the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/mlb/teams/COL">Rockies</a>, as Tulowitzki was one of the few bright spots for the Rockies offense this season. <span>Clint Barmes</span> will move over to shortstop, while a trio of <span>Jonathan Herrera</span>, <span>Melvin Mora</span>, and just-brought-up <span>Chris Nelson</span> will platoon at second base.</p>
