Blackmon won't play Wednesday against the Braves with the contest being postponed due to inclement weather in Colorado, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Colorado and Atlanta will hold a make-up game on Aug. 26. Blackmon and the Rockies will return to action Thursday in San Francisco for the club's series opener with the Giants.

Blackmon will head to the bench Tuesday against the Braves, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blackmon will sit for the first time this season, with Yonathan Daza making his big-league debut in right field. The outfielder has had a decent start to the year, hitting .273 in 11 games.

Blackmon went 2-for-2 with a double, triple, one RBI, a run scored and two walks in Sunday's 12-6 loss to the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

It's been a slow start for Blackmon as his two extra-base hits on Sunday matched his total in nine previous games this season. He bumped his on-base percentage to .356, much more in-line with the .358 he posted last season.

Blackmon went 3-for-5 in a 10-6 defeat to the Dodgers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Blackmon was in a 1-for-12 skid coming into the contest, but he broke out with a three-hit effort from atop the order to bump his batting average up to .286 through 35 at-bats. It's been a slow start for the veteran on the power front, as he's still searching for his first long ball and is slugging just .343 so far this season.

Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 6-1 win over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

After a rough 0-for-5 showing on Opening Day, Blackmon found his groove at the plate, lashing an RBI double in the seventh inning and driving in another run with a single in the ninth. The 32-year-old saw his numbers decline a little in 2018, but he should remain an impact fantasy contributor this season with Coors Field buoying his stats for half his games.

Blackmon went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Colorado's 5-3 Cactus League win over the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty slugger was just 3-for-19 this spring coming into the contest, but he checked in with his first long ball with this third-inning solo shot. The 32-year-old slashed .291/.358/.502 over 626 at-bats last season and he should remain a threat to rack up lofty run totals hitting atop a talented Rockies lineup.

Blackmon (illness) is starting in right field and batting leadoff in Sunday's spring game against the Dodgers, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blackmon was unable to travel with the team to Mexico for the two-game series against the Diamondbacks due to an illness, but his quick return to the lineup should alleviate any concerns. The 32-year-old has yet to find his footing at the plate as he is 2-for-13 through five spring training games.

Blackmon (illness) stepped in for some at-bats Saturday at camp during Kyle Freeland's simulated game, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blackmon wasn't cleared to make the trip with the Rockies to Mexico for games Saturday and Sunday versus the Diamondbacks, but his ability to pick up some at-bats one day after coming down ill with a stomach bug suggests he's trending positively on the health front. Look for him to rejoin Colorado's Cactus League lineup early next week.

Blackmon fell ill Friday and didn't travel to Mexico with the Rockies for the team's two-game series with the Diamondbacks, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rockies are still scheduled to play split-squad games in Arizona on Saturday (versus the Indians) and Sunday (versus the Dodgers), so Blackmon could conceivably play in either of those contests. It's more likely, however, that Blackmon receives the weekend off entirely to recover from the ailment. Expect him to return to action at some point during the upcoming week, which would keep him on track to enter the regular season without any limitations.

Manager Bud Black said Blackmon will start in right field for the Rockies, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was originally thought that Blackmon would shift to left field in 2019 with Ian Desmond set to take over primary center field duties, but the Rockies prefer Dahl and his range in left field, leaving Blackmon to man the right side of the outfield. Regardless of where he plays, the veteran outfielder figures to be a staple in Colorado's lineup after hitting .291/.358/.502 with 29 homers and 12 stolen bases in 156 games last season.
