Blackmon went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 4-2 win over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon helped Colorado get off to a promising start with a two-run shot to right field in the first inning. The long ball was his 10th in his 406th at-bat of the season -- quite a ways off the pace of his 32-homer, 580-at-bat season in 2019. Blackmon has been swinging a hot bat of late, however, hitting .344 (11-for-32) with three homers and 11 RBI over his past 10 contests.

Blackmon went 1-for-4 with a homer and three RBI in Tuesday's 7-3 win over San Diego.
EDGE Analysis
It's been a tough month for Blackmon, but he put in a classic Chuck Nazty performance on Tuesday night, smacking a two-run homer and picking up another RBI on a groundout. Even with this latest production, the numbers for August don't look great for the 35-year-old. Since the calendar flipped, he's batting just .224 with three home runs and eight RBI.

Blackmon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
The Rockies will extend some maintenance to Blackmon for the day game after the night game, affording Yonathan Daza a turn in right field. Blackmon is hitting .200 with two extra-base hits (one home run, one double) through 12 games in August and is on track to finish with his lowest OPS (.740) in any season since 2012, his second year in the big leagues.

Blackmon is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
With the Rockies and Astros wrapping up their series with a day game after a night game and with a southpaw (Framber Valdez) on the hill for Houston, the lefty-hitting Blackmon will receive a maintenance day. Yonathan Daza will cover right field and bat second in Blackmon's stead.

Blackmon is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Angels, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon started the past 13 games and will receive a day off with lefty Andrew Heaney pitching for the Angels. The veteran outfielder has found an offensive rhythm since the All-Star break, going 15-for-40 with two home runs, two doubles, seven RBI, seven runs and two stolen bases in 10 games. Sam Hilliard will start in right field in his place.

Blackmon went 3-for-3 with a two-run homer, a double, a walk, three RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 9-6 win over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon had a massive day against his division rivals. He walked in the sixth before scoring and then later had an RBI double in the eighth and a two-run homer in the 10th to put the Rockies out in front 9-6. The 34-year-old has been red-hot in July, slashing .333/.377/.509 with two homers, nine RBI, 10 runs scored, two steals and a 3:5 BB:K over 15 games. He's now hit two long balls over his last four games after not hitting one since June 3. For the year, he's slashing .277/.368/.401 with six homers, 47 RBI, 42 runs scored, two steals and a 37:44 BB:K over 353 plate appearances.
