Rockies star Daniel Bard will open the season on the injured list ... after he said he's been dealing with anxiety following his struggles at the World Baseball Classic.
Things didn't get much better for Bard when he returned to spring training ... and now, he said he's planning to use his time on the injured list to get mentally right.
He told reporters Thursday that it all was"a hard thing to admit," but he said the Rockies are supporting him.Bard has dealt with mental health issues in the past -- he was away from the Majors from 2013 to 2020 while battling the yips on the mound -- but he got through them and became a star for the Rockies the past two seasons ... logging 54 saves.
"From my experience, knowing myself," the 37-year-old said,"I think just taking a step back, taking time to work through things, get it right, is the best approach."
