Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki is sitting out tonight’s game against the Rays due to “heavy legs” -- his terminology. Weiss described Tulowitzki’s night off as “precautionary”.

Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post has more:

Tulowitzki was running the bases and doing outfield sprints with Rockies trainer Keith Dugger on Friday afternoon. Tulowitzki, who has a history of leg and groin injuries, said he was not injured. Instead, he said was trying to work out some soreness in his legs.

Tulowitzki missed most of the 2012 season due to a groin injury which required surgery. He is having quite the rebound as he currently has a .317 average with six home runs and a 1.014 OPS with his trademark great defense.
