Blackmon (back) is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Giants, Nick Kosmider of the Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
It seems that Blackmon's back hasn't fully healed yet, so the 30-year-old outfielder will sit out of his fourth game in a row. Raimel Tapia will take over for him as the center fielder and leadoff hitter once again.

Blackmon (back) remains out of the lineup Monday against the Giants, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
It will be the third consecutive absence for Blackmon, who continues to nurse tightness in his back. The Rockies will again go with Raimel Tapia in center field, and he'll serve as the leadoff man for the third straight game.

Blackmon (back) remains out of the lineup Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

Blackmon was a late scratch Saturday due to back tightness, ROOT Sports' Jenny Cavnar reports.
EDGE Analysis
This injury came out of nowhere, and it will allow rookie Raimel Tapia to make his first career start while also leading off against Arizona on Saturday. Blackmon should be considered day-to-day for now, but if he were to miss more time, Tapia would be ready to fill in.

Blackmon has been scratched from Saturday's lineup.
EDGE Analysis
A reason for his removal from the lineup was not immediately provided, but Blackmon was scratched about two hours prior to first pitch, so something may have happened during batting practice. Raimel Tapia is now slated to start in center field and lead off against right-hander Braden Shipley.

Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a double, a run and an RBI in Monday's win over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon is having a fantastic August, with 18 of his 38 hits this month having gone for extra bases. Colorado's leadoff man is especially dangerous at the hitter-friendly Coors Field, which means he should be able to pad his stats further during the rest of this nine-game homestand after playing six straight on the road.

Blackmon went 3-for-6 with a solo homer, two-run blast and three runs scored in Saturday's 9-4 extra-inning victory over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
The dynamic leadoff man first took rookie A.J. Cole deep in the third before breaking a 4-4 tie in the 11th with a 388-foot shot to right that plated Cristhian Adames. It was a breakout performance for Blackmon, who'd gone just 2-for-15 over his prior five games. The veteran outfielder now has 10 homers in what has been a standout August.

Blackmon (toe) is back in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
After sitting out a pair of games due to a toe injury, Blackmon came on in the ninth inning Monday to pinch hit, which was enough to convince manager Walt Weiss that he was ready to get back into game action. Blackmon will reclaim his usual spot atop the Rockies' order while also getting the start in center field against Chase Anderson and the Brewers. Prior to his toe injury, Blackmon had been absolutely destroying the ball to the tune of a .364/.418/.694 slash line with nine home runs in his previous 30 games.

Blackmon (toe) will not start Monday for the fourth day in a row.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon will miss another game with the bruised toe that knocked him out of Friday's starting lineup and prevented him from playing the past two days. David Dahl will fill in in both center field and atop the batting order for the fourth straight day.

Blackmon (toe) remains out of the lineup Sunday against the Cubs, Nick Kosmider of the Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Blackmon out, Colorado will start Gerardo Parra, David Dahl, and Carlos Gonzalez in the outfield as they take on Jason Hammel and the Cubs. Before hurting his toe, Blackmon had been going on a tear at the plate, hitting .473/.508/.1.091 with nine home runs over the last 14 days. The Rockies haven't indicated that Blackmon will need a stint on the DL, so he should be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's outing in Milwaukee.
