<p>PITTSBURGH — Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story was placed on the injured list due to inflammation in his right elbow.</p>
<p>The move was announced Saturday by the team before a doubleheader in Pittsburgh against the Pirates. The Rockies also reinstated infielder Matt Adams from the injured list.</p>
<p>Story was taken out on Thursday in New York against the Mets as a precaution. He’s off to a slow start this season, hitting .255 with five homers.</p>
<p>The two-time All-Star is in the final year of his deal and figures to be a hot commodity toward the trade deadline. He’s a smooth fielder who has plenty of power (139 career homers) and has speed on the base paths (two seasons with 20 or more stolen bases).</p>
<p>Last Sunday against Arizona, the 28-year-old Story broke out of a homer funk with the fourth walk-off homer of his career. It’s tied for third-most in franchise history with Charlie Blackmon, Jason Giambi and Larry Walker, behind only Dante Bichette, who had five, and Todd Helton, who finished with seven.</p>
<p>That long ball snapped a 17-game homerless streak for Story, the second-longest of his career.</p>
