The Rocky Mountain News is reporting that Troy Tulowitzki has suffered a torn left quad and could be gone until the All-Star break.

This is devastating news considering the Rockies, NL Champs last year, have started the season 11-17 and are last in the NL West. Tulowitzki was going through a rough start before the injury. He was batting just .152 with one HR and 11 RBIs.

His agent didn't make things sound too promising that he could even return this year.

"With the help of God, he will be back in two months." his agent said.
