Joe was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right serratus strain Thursday, retroactive to Sept. 26.
EDGE Analysis
Joe took on a depth role for the Rockies over the last month, and he's now dealing with a shoulder issue that will sideline him for the final week of the regular season. The 30-year-old slashed .238/.338/.359 with seven homers, 56 runs, 28 RBI and six steals over 111 games in 2022.

Joe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Joe's playing time has almost completely dried up in September, but he's been in the lineup for two of the last three games. His homer Sunday was his first since Aug. 19, though he saw just 16 at-bats across seven games in that span. It was his seventh homer of the year to go with 27 RBI, 54 runs scored, six stolen bases and a .241/.343/.362 slash line across 458 plate appearances. The uptick in playing time for Joe is likely due to Michael Toglia being mired in an 0-for-18 slump.

Joe has been out of the lineup for each of Colorado's last six games.
EDGE Analysis
Joe had been losing out on playing time before the promotion of Michael Toglia, even with Kris Bryant (foot) and Yonathan Daza (shoulder) sidelined. The Rockies also seem inclined to give Sean Bouchard a regular chance in the lineup, so Joe appears to face an uphill battle to get regular plate appearances to close the season.

Joe went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a 7-4 win over the Giants on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Joe went deep off Giants starter Alex Wood for his sixth home run of the season. The long ball comes amidst a terrible drought for Joe. He was 4-for-47 over his previous 14 games with a slash line of .085/.140/.149. The 30-year-old outfielder's two-hit game was his first since July 15.

Joe is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cardinals, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Joe went 1-for-11 with two walks and two runs while starting in each of the Rockies' past three contests, but Colorado faced left-handed pitchers on each occasion. With right-hander Adam Wainwright on the bump for St. Louis in the series finale, the righty-hitting Joe will retreat to the bench. Joe looks like he'll be stuck in a short-side platoon role with Sam Hilliard for the foreseeable future.

Joe went 1-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored Tuesday against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Joe was out of the lineup for seven consecutive games after appearing to fall out of favor in Colorado. However, he's now started consecutive contests -- both against lefties -- and reached base three times in nine plate appearances in that span. Since the All-Star break, however, Joe has only four hits across 41 at-bats, and he appears to be limited to a short-side platoon role for the time being.

Joe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The righty-hitting Joe finds himself on the bench for his fourth consecutive contest, and his absence from the lineup against a lefty (Jose Quintana) suggests that Rockies manager Bud Black may not even view the 29-year-old as a short-side platoon bat at this point. Yonathan Daza, Elehuris Montero and Sam Hilliard should continue to benefit from more playing time while Joe's role is de-emphasized.

Joe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Arizona.
EDGE Analysis

Joe isn't starting Thursday against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Joe has lost out on some playing time recently, and he'll be on the bench for the fourth time in the last seven games. Charlie Blackmon will shift to right field while Sam Hilliard starts in left.
