Rockies Recall Dickerson

Thursday, June 11

The Rockies announced that Dickerson had been activated from the disabled list ahead of Thursday's game against the Miami Marlins. Dickerson was immediately inserted into the starting lineup, batting sixth, via Christina De Nicola of Sun Sports Fox.

The plantar fasciitis has been a recurring issue for Dickerson; Thomas Harding of MLB.com reported after the 25-year-old left the team's May 16 game against the Los Angeles Dodgers that it's "been an issue since late in spring training."

Despite the injury, Dickerson appeared in 33 of Colorado's 35 games prior to the injury. He'd played well with a .306/.342/.523 slash line and 12 extra-base hits in 111 at-bats. 

Dickerson was a breakout star for the Rockies last season, hitting .312/.364/.567 with 24 home runs in 131 games. The Rockies have been struggling in 2015, owning a 27-31 record and sitting a half-game out of last place in the National League West.
