DENVER (AP) - Brian Fuentes, who lost his job as Colorado's closer after blowing four straight saves, will miss the All-Star game because of a strained back muscle.
Fuentes said he felt discomfort in the left latissimus dorsi after some mop-up work at Houston on Sunday and was extra sore after his scoreless inning of work Tuesday night against the New York Mets at Coors Field.
"I thought I'd give it a day and I came back the next day and it was still sore," Fuentes said Friday night. "So, we're just day-to-day right now."
He said the injury wasn't related to his poor performance on the Rockies' trip.
