Blackmon is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Blackmon has a .269/.321/.500 slash line with three extra-base hits in his past seven games but will head to the bench for Friday's contest. Nolan Jones will receive a turn at designated hitter while Sam Hilliard starts in left for the series opener in Milwaukee.

Blackmon went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI on Wednesday against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Blackmon is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Blackmon has seen his playing time taper off lately, as this is the second game in a row and the sixth time over the last 12 contests that he's been on the bench. Part of the reasoning behind fewer starts for the 38-year-old is getting more of a look at younger players. However, with lefty Chris Sale on the bump for Atlanta, there's a decent chance Blackmon would have sat out anyhow. Drew Romo will get a start at designated hitter Tuesday.

Blackmon went just 2-for-18 over five games during the Rockies' road trip last week. He's now at nine homers and 41 RBI this season, surpassing his totals from 2023 in both categories while adding a .249/.323/.391 slash line, 50 runs scored and five stolen bases over 100 games in 2024.

Blackmon is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Blackmon often heads to the bench against left-handed pitching, but he'll take a seat Monday while right-hander Edward Cabrera toes the rubber for Miami. The Rockies haven't indicated that Blackmon is nursing any sort of injury, so his absence from the lineup may just be a matter of maintenance after he started both of the past two days.

Blackmon went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Friday's 7-3 win over the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Blackmon has produced a trio of multi-hit efforts over his last five games. He also put an end to a power drought Friday, as the homer was his first since July 22. The veteran is up to a .256/.328/.402 slash line with eight homers, 40 RBI, 47 runs scored and five stolen bases through 92 contests. Despite middling results, Blackmon remains the Rockies' leadoff hitter versus right-handed pitchers.
