Blackmon (hamstring) isn't starting Friday against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon exited Thursday's loss to the Cardinals due to a hamstring injury and will be excluded from the lineup for at least one game. He's expected to be OK within a few days, but his availability off the bench Friday isn't yet clear. Connor Joe, Wynton Bernard and Randal Grichuk are starting in the outfield from left to right.

Blackmon's early exit in Thursday's 13-0 loss to the Cardinals is being attributed to a hamstring injury, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon appeared to tweak his hamstring while running out an infield single in his lone plate appearance of the day in the top of the first inning. He played defense in the bottom of the inning before he was ultimately replaced by Wynton Bernard in right field an inning later. After the game, manager Bud Black told Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post that he believes Blackmon will be OK in a couple of days, so Blackmon is seemingly on track to avoid a trip to the injured list but doubtful to return to the lineup for Friday's series opener with the Giants.

Blackmon was removed from Thursday's game against the Cardinals with an apparent leg injury, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon appeared to tweak something while running out an infield hit during his lone plate appearance, and he was replaced in the field after remaining in the game for one more inning. The 36-year-old should be considered day-to-day until more information is available.

Blackmon went 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI on Tuesday against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon delivered nearly all of Colorado's offense Tuesday, first tallying an RBI single in the sixth inning. He drove in two additional runs on a double one frame later. Entering Tuesday's game, Blackmon had hit only .190 with two home runs, nine RBI and eight runs scored across 21 games since the All-Star break. In part due to that prolonged slump, Blackmon has only a 94 wRC+ across 459 plate appearances on the season.

Blackmon is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon mustered only five hits in 31 at-bats over his last eight games, so he will get a day to clear his head.

Blackmon went 2-for-6 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in a 6-5 extra-innings loss to the Brewers on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon took Corbin Burnes deep in the third inning to pick up his 15th home run of the season. The 36-year-old designated hitter is riding a nine-game hitting streak and came into the game slashing an excellent .311/.360/.511 over his past 45 at-bats.

Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of RBI and a run scored in Friday's 13-2 win over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon opened the scoring with an RBI single in the first inning and added another in the eighth. This was his fifth straight multi-hit performance, a span in which he's gone 11-for-22 (.500) with six RBI. The 36-year-old's surge at the plate has lifted his slash line to .278/.329/.475 in 354 plate appearances. He's added 14 home runs, 52 RBI, 46 runs scored, 16 doubles, three triples and two stolen bases. He remains a strong fantasy play when the Rockies are at home.
