Joe went 1-for-2 with a double, two walks, two runs and an RBI in Sunday's 8-4 loss to the Diamondbacks. He also reached base when he was hit by a pitch in the bottom of the first inning.
EDGE Analysis
The Rockies haven't missed a beat since Joe stepped in as the team's everyday left fielder and leadoff hitter following Raimel Tapia's placement on the 10-day injured list earlier this month with a strained toe. While assuming table-setting duties in each of the past 12 games, Joe has reached base at a .370 clip while chipping in two home runs, seven runs and six RBI. Tapia is making progress in his recovery and should ramp up baseball activities this week, but since a target date for his return from the IL hasn't been established, Joe should still have a decent amount of leash atop the Colorado lineup.

Joe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run Monday in the Rockies' 6-5 win over the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Joe celebrated his 29th birthday in style Monday, mashing his fifth home run of August while adding another base hit to boost his average to .311 on the month. He should continue to play on a near-everyday basis in the outfield while Raimel Tapia (toe) is on the injured list.

Joe went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in a 5-4 loss to the Giants on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
After going hitless in his first four at-bats, Joe took San Francisco closer Jake McGee 407-feet deep to left in the ninth to bring Colorado within one in an effort that came up just short. He's only been a modest power threat with 21 home runs in 154 career Triple-A games, while the 28-year-old outfielder now has four long balls for the Rockies in August and six on the season.

Joe went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Sunday's 13-8 win over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Joe entered the game after Raimel Tapia suffered a toe injury. He launched a two-run shot in the second inning and a solo blast in the eighth. The 28-year-old utilityman has been on fire over his last 10 games, going 14-for-34 (.412) with 14 RBI and five extra-base hits during that span. Joe is slashing .303/.369/.505 with five home runs in 40 games this season

Joe went 2-for-3 with four RBI in Saturday's 7-4 victory versus Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Each time Joe came to the plate Saturday the Rockies had runners in scoring position, and the 28-year-old turned those opportunities into a career-high four RBI. He put Colorado on the board with a sacrifice fly in the second inning, knocked in a run with a single in the fourth and singled against to plate two more runs in the fifth. Joe's average is up to .295 on the season, and he is batting .381 with four homers and 13 RBI over his past 42 at-bats.

Joe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Joe took Jake Arrieta yard for a solo home run in the second inning. It was his third homer of the season and second in his last four starts. Joe has seen an uptick in playing time of late, as he's been in the lineup six times in the team's last seven contests. In that span, he's gone 11-for-30 with seven RBI and two runs scored to go along with his pair of long balls.

Joe will start in left field and bat fifth Sunday against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Joe will stick in the starting nine for the sixth time in seven games, this time filling in for Raimel Tapia, who is tending to a sprained toe. Over his last five contests, Joe has gone 8-for-21 with three extra-base hits. He could end up settling in as the team's primary option in left field if Tapia's toe issue forces him to the injured list.

Joe went 3-for-5 with a double and three RBI in Tuesday's 12-3 trouncing of the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Joe's double in the fifth inning plated the Rockies' 10th run, and his single in the sixth resulted in the final two scores for Colorado in the contest. The three-hit performance was the first in the 28-year-old's big-league career. He has collected six hits -- including three doubles and a homer -- over his past 16 at-bats.

Joe went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a double Tuesday against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Joe slugged his first career home run in the fifth inning, taking Marco Gonzales yard to straight away center field. He followed that up with a double two frames later to cap his productive effort. Joe was called up prior to Tuesday's contest and could see playing time in the outfield while Chris Owings (thumb) remains sidelined.

Joe was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque prior to Tuesday's game against Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Joe will take the roster spot of Chris Owings, who landed on the injured list with a left thumb injury. The 28-year-old is in batting second and playing left field Tuesday. Joe slashed .241/.349/.278 during 26 games in the majors earlier this season, and he figures to serve primarily as an extra outfielder going forward.
