Karros has cleared concussion protocol and will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Hartford on Thursday, Eli Whitney of Blake Street Banter reports.
Karros has been on the 7-day injured list twice since mid-August, which is worrisome, but he appears to be in the clear now. He is slated to remain with Hartford through the end of the weekend. If all goes well, Karros appears poised for a return to the Rockies' active roster next week as the club begins a road trip.

Rockies' Kyle Karros: Nearing rehab stint
Rotowire
Karros is hopeful to be cleared from the league's concussion protocol Tuesday, and then play for Double-A Hartford from Thursday to Sunday, Eli Whitney of Blake Street Banter reports.
This plan all depends on whether Karros comes out of concussion protocol Tuesday, though either way, he appears to be trending in the right direction. The 24-year-old landed back on the concussion injured list Aug. 23 after experiencing additional symptoms, so the club is presumably taking it slow with the third baseman to ensure he's fully healthy before activating him. If all goes well, Karros could be back in the big leagues for the start of Colorado's road series Sept. 8 against the Yankees.
Karros (concussion) has resumed both hitting and fielding drills at the Rockies' complex in Arizona, MLB.com reports.
Karros has dealt with a concussion or concussion symptoms for nearly three weeks, and he attempted to return once already. The next step in his recovery will be a simulated game Saturday.

Rockies' Kyle Karros: Shut down due to concussion
Rotowire
The Rockies placed Karros on the 7-day injured list Wednesday due to a concussion.
Karros hit a game-tying two-run home run in the top of the sixth inning of Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks, and then left the game in the bottom half of the frame after colliding in the field with teammate Ezequiel Tovar while both were pursuing a grounder. Per David Brandt of the Associated Press, Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer said after the game that Karros entered concussion protocol. With that, Karros will be held out of action for the next week, which likely clears the way for Willi Castro to serve as the Rockies' primary third baseman in the interim.
