Blackmon is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blackmon was in center field and atop the order for the Rockies' last five matchups against southpaws, but he will sit Tuesday against lefty J.A. Happ. Brandon Barnes will man center field in his absence while Cristian Adames leads off. The 29-year-old Blackmon is batting .290/.359/.449 against left-handed pitching this year, up from .264/.322/.387 in 2015, and figures to remain in an everyday role moving forward.

Blackmon went 2-for-5 with a pair of solo homers and three runs scored Tuesday at Yankee Stadium.

EDGE Analysis

Blackmon rode the momentum of Monday night's ninth-inning home run to another pair in the first four innings of this contest. This effort gives the leadoff man double-digit homers in three consecutive campaigns, and puts him on pace to top 20 for the first time in his career. Look for him to continue scoring runs at a high rate from atop the high-octane Rockies order.

Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a solo homer in Monday's 5-3 victory over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Blackmon's ninth-inning blast gave the homer-happy Rockies a useful insurance run, and was the team's fifth solo shot of the evening. The leadoff man entered this contest without a hit in thirteen plate appearances over the last three games, but made up for lost time with three in five tries this time around. He's sitting on a respectable .292/.357/.475 line at the moment.

Blackmon went 1-for-3 with a solo homer, a walk and two runs in Saturday's 5-3 victory over the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old went deep for the first time in June, after closing out May with three homers over two games. Blackmon has actually seen his average drop 20 points this month, but he's still carrying a higher number in that category (.296) than all but one of his previous five seasons. Where Blackmon's production is lagging this season is on the base paths, as he's managed to swipe only four bags after totaling 71 stolen bases over the prior two campaigns.

Blackmon is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

The Rockies are facing lefty rookie Julio Urias on Tuesday, so manager Walt Weiss will use this opportunity to get right-hander Ryan Raburn a start in the outfield. Gerardo Parra will take Blackmon's place in center field Tuesday while DJ LeMahieu moves up to the leadoff spot against Urias.

Blackmon went 2-for-6 with two home runs, including a grand slam, and five RBI in Tuesday's blowout victory over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

The center fielder has been crushing the ball this month, slashing .315/.361/.514 with four home runs and 17 RBI. After a slow start to the year due to a short stint on the DL (turf toe), Blackmon is finding his stroke right in time for summer. He's one of the best outfielders in all of baseball.

Blackmon went 1-for-5 with a solo home run on Monday against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Blackmon has been seeing the ball well all month for the Rockies. The outfielder has hit safely in eight straight games, recording six extra-base hits in that span. After hitting .250 in April, Blackmon has busted out with a .315 average this month. His recent production is more in line with what Blackmon contributed each of the past two seasons.

Blackmon went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run Friday against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

The center fielder has been pretty hot of late, with hits in nine of the last 10 games and a .333 average over that span. Blackmon now has a five-game hitting streak to his name, and five of his 15 hits have gone for extra bases, so he's been doing a lot of damage at the top of the lineup in recent weeks.

Blackmon smacked a solo homer, his third of the season, in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

It's just Blackmon's 12th career homer against a left-hander, as he took David Price deep in the third inning. The outfielder's season has been disrupted by a brief stint on the DL due to turf toe, but he's been productive when healthy enough to suit up. He's hitting .300 with three homers and 17 RBI to go with three stolen bases across 120 at-bats.

Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a homer, his second of the season, three RBI and three runs in Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

The blast, into the right-field bullpen, was Blackmon's 500th career hit. Since returning on April 29 from a short stint on the DL, the outfielder is 17-for-51 (.333) with two homers, seven RBI and nine runs. Of course the team and Blackmon would never admit to it, but it's hard not to associate his lack of aggressiveness on the bases (2-for-3) with the turf-toe injury he is rebounding from. The 29-year-old has average 35-plus steals over the past two seasons and he needs to start running for owners to get a full return on his draft-day value.
