UNDATED (AP) – Veteran shortstop Troy Tulowitzki (too-loh-IHTS’-kee) has been forced to retire following a series of leg injuries over the last two years.  The five-time All-Star announced his decision more than three months after he played his last game for the New York Yankees. He spent most of 2017 on the disabled list with ankle injuries, and then missed all of last season following an April 2018 surgery on both heels.  Tulowitzki finished with a .290 average, 225 homers and 780 RBIs in 13 seasons with Colorado, Toronto and the Yankees. He appeared in only five games with the Yanks this season before straining his left calf on April 3.
