Double-A Hartford placed Veen on its 7-day injured list July 27 with a right thumb injury, MLB.com reports. Veen missed five and a half weeks in May and June with back and left hand injuries before returning to the Hartford lineup shortly before the All-Star break, but he played just eight games for the Double-A club before succumbing to a new injury. Rockies player development director Chris Forbes indicated that the club didn't have a timeline for Veen's return to action.

Now fully recovered, the 22-year-old outfielder will look to continue his strong season (.326/.418/.568 in 110 PA) in pursuit of a promotion to Triple-A Albuquerque.

Veen (back) has had his recovery slowed by an injury to his left hand and thumb, MLB.com reports. Veen was expected to return to game action earlier this week while recovering from a back issue. However, the new injuries have limited him to working out at the team's facility and have left him without a clear timeline to return.
