Troy Tulowitzki at Yankee Stadium in New York fuels more trade rumors

Troy Tulowitzki showed up at Yankee Stadium on Sunday to watch the New York-Toronto game. And the sky started falling with speculation.

The Rockies’ all-star shortstop is on the East Coast to visit with Dr. William Meyers, a surgeon who specializes in sports injuries, in Philadelphia.

And Tulo’s visit to Yankee Stadium was only that, he said — a visit.

“It’s a short drive from Philly. I’m with my family. I wanted to see (Derek) Jeter play one more time,” Tulowitzki told The Denver Post.

A Tulowitzki trade is not imminent, to the Yankees or otherwise, a major-league source confirmed. Tulowitzki, who is on the Rockies’ 15-day disabled list with a high thigh injury (technically a left hip-flexor strain), on Saturday night flew to Philadelphia for a consultation with the doctor who performed his sports hernia surgery in 2012.

On Monday, Tulowitzki will receive “dry needling” therapy on his leg, Rockies head athletic trainer Keith Dugger said. The procedure is meant to increase blood flow to an injured muscle.
