Manager Walt Weiss said Saturday that Blackmon (toe contusion) will need "another day or so" before he can run in the outfield, MLB.com's Thomas Harding reports.

EDGE Analysis

He will miss his second game in a row Saturday, and since he still can't run in the outfield, it would not be surprising if he was held out at least through the weekend. Gerardo Parra should continue to start in the outfield in Blackmon's absence, while David Dahl temporarily occupies the leadoff spot.

Blackmon (toe contusion) remains out of the lineup Saturday against the Cubs, MLB.com's Thomas Harding reports.

EDGE Analysis

He was a late scratch Friday due to a toe contusion that he presumably suffered during warmups, and it is painful enough that he will remain out for Saturday's game. Once again, David Dahl slides into the leadoff spot with Gerardo Parra taking Blackmon's spot in the outfield.

Blackmon has been scratched from Friday's game against the Cubs due to a right big toe contusion.

EDGE Analysis

The Rockies game was delayed Friday and the news about Blackmon being scratched didn't come out until most lineups had locked, so this news won't do daily owners much good. David Dahl moved to center field and the leadoff spot while Ben Paulsen entered the lineup at first base and Gerardo Parra moved over to left field. Blackmon should be considered day-to-day.

Blackmon had a career night in Friday's 10-6 loss to the Phillies, going 3-for-4 with three solo homers and a walk.

EDGE Analysis

The dynamic leadoff man went deep off three different Phillies pitchers in the third, seventh and ninth innings. Blackmon has five straight multi-hit efforts, homers in back-to-back games, and is now slashing a jaw-dropping .449/.500/.898 over 49 at-bats in August. After only hitting two homers in all of July, he's now launched six round-trippers in just 11 games in August.

Blackmon went 2-for-5 with a double, a solo homer and two runs Tuesday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Blackmon led off the home half of the first inning with his 14th homer of the season in a game the Rockies would go on to lose. He's gotten off to a great start in August, as he's collected 12 hits, two of which left the yard, over eight games, and he's slashing .308/.370/.485 on the year. He's currently posting career-highs in both on-base and slugging percentage while his batting average is just a single point short of his 2013 mark.

Blackmon went 2-for-4 with two doubles and scored twice in Friday's victory over the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

The center fielder followed up Thursday's four-hit performance with another impressive game on Friday, notching his 20th and 21st doubles of the season. Last year, Blackmon hit a career-high 31 two-baggers and is now on pace to outperform that number in 2016. He's also on track to challenge last season's career-high 93 runs scored. Setting new personal records this season would be especially impressive considering he lost time to a stint on the DL back in April.

Blackmon went 4-for-5 with two doubles and scored a run in Friday's victory over the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

The center fielder raised his average to .303 with his first four-hit performance of the season. Despite a short stint on the DL earlier in the year, Blackmon is still on pace to challenge last season's career highs in doubles (31) and runs scored (93).

Blackmon is not in the starting lineup for the Rockies on Wednesday, Rockies PR reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blackmon has struggled at the plate over his last 10 games, hitting only .244 with one RBI and 14 strikeouts in 41 at-bats. Blackmon should be back in the lineup on Thursday as the Rockies host Jacob deGrom and the Mets. Blackmon has no hits in just eight career at-bats against deGrom.

Blackmon went 2-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 10-3 loss to the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

The Rockies' dynamic leadoff man heads into the All-Star break with a six-game hitting streak, and also having hit safely in 11 of his last 12 games. Blackmon has yet to homer in the new month, but is contributing in virtually every other category. He's currently hitting .341 in July following Sunday's production, with two doubles, three runs and four stolen bases.

Blackmon has been added to the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

He was not part of manager Walt Weiss' original starting nine but Blackmon was added shortly after the first lineup was posted, with Ryan Raburn scratched for undisclosed reasons. Blackmon will now have started six straight (both in center and atop the order) against opposing lefty starters.
