Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a solo homer in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon came in hitting just .281 on the road, but bucked that trend with a three-hit effort here. His third-inning long ball gave the leadoff man sole possession of the team lead just two frames after Nolan Arenado tied him at 29. On a negative note, he was also picked off second base in this one.

Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, two RBI and two runs scored during Thursday's loss to Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
With 28 homers, 76 RBI and 111 runs, Blackmon is closing in on posting career-best marks in all three categories. Additionally maintaining his .335/.396/.620 slash line would also result in career highs in all three columns. Considering he has three home games ahead, it wouldn't be surprising to see a few personal bests achieved over the weekend.

Blackmon went 3-for-6 with a solo home run during Wednesday's win over Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon just continues to pad his statistics, and the outfielder is now up to an elite .333/.388/.616 slash line with 27 homers, 74 RBI, nine stolen bases and 102 runs. Playing his home games at Coors Field should help Blackmon avoid a slump down the stretch, too.

Blackmon went 3-for-5 with three doubles, a run and an RBI Sunday against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
All three of Blackmon's doubles came against starter Aaron Nola, who held the rest of Colorado's talented lineup without an extra-base hit. The All-Star outfielder was effective as usual during this six-game homestand, racking up three multi-hit efforts while scoring seven runs out of the leadoff spot. He's batting .398 at Coors Field and .273 on the road, so expect a decline with a five-game road trip next on the schedule.

Blackmon went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and two runs scored during Thursday's win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
It's been a special fantasy season for Blackmon, and while his nine stolen bases are well below the expected total, he's made up for it in spades in the other categories. After all, Blackmon boasts an elite .330/.384/.606 slash line with 25 homers, 71 RBI and 97 runs. It's also worth noting that his decline in stolen bases really began with last year's 17.

Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a home run, two runs and two RBI in Sunday's 13-3 win over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon was tremendous as usual in setting the table for the offense out of the leadoff spot. He got the scoring started with an RBI single in the third inning before smacking the first of five Colorado home runs in the fifth. The 31-year-old outfielder is already just five short of last season's career-high 29 homers in 45 fewer games played.

Blackmon (leg) is in the lineup for Friday's game against the Pirates, Jenny Cavnar of AT&T SportsNet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon exited Wednesday's contest after dealing with cramping due to dehydration, but should be fully capable for Friday's series opener at Coors Field. Since the All-Star break, Blackmon has gone 12-for-25 with three home runs and six RBI at the plate.

Blackmon was removed from Wednesday's game with cramping in his upper leg and is expected to be fine going forward, Troy Renck of the Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The cramping was severe enough in the moment to force the Rockies to lift Blackmon in the middle of an at-bat. He was doing fine in the dugout afterwards, though, and considering the Rockies have a day off on Thursday, expect him back in the lineup for Friday's series opener against Pittsburgh.

Blackmon was removed from Wednesday's game against the Padres in the middle of his sixth-inning at-bat due to what appeared to be a leg injury, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
No official word has come forth as to what the actual issue is, but he seemed to injure himself on the swing just before being removed. Blackmon was 3-for-3 with two RBI and three runs scored before the incident. Until more details emerge, consider him day-to-day. Pat Valaika pinch hit for him to fill his spot in the lineup, but Alexi Amarista replaced him in center field after pinch hitting earlier in the inning.
