Dahl isn't in Monday's lineup against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Dahl has alternated starts in each of the last six games, and that trend will continue for the series opener against San Francisco. Kevin Pillar will take over in center field with Sam Hilliard starting in right.

Dahl sits for the second straight game Friday against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Dahl returned from a bout of lower-back soreness Wednesday but has been benched in favor of Kevin Pillar for both games thus far. It's possible Dahl isn't yet fully healthy, as both games came against right-handed pitchers. It's also possible that the Rockies simply don't view Dahl as one of their top three outfielders at the moment, as he's hitting just .189/.238/.243 in 80 plate appearances.

Dahl (back) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Dahl was placed on the injured list with lower-back soreness Aug. 19, and he'll return to the active roster after a relatively long absence. He isn't starting Wednesday against the Padres with Kevin Pillar taking over in center field. With Pillar now in the fold for the Rockies, the two could end up sharing time in the outfield over the remainder of the season.

Manager Bud Black said Dahl (back) is close to returning, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dahl landed on the injured list last week with a bout of lower-back soreness, but it sounds like he's nearing a return after facing teammate Chi Chi Gonzalez (biceps) in live batting practice Wednesday. Prior to landing on the shelf, the outfielder struggled to a .189/.238/.243 line across 19 games.

Dahl (back) will face teammate Chi Chi Gonzalez (biceps) in a simulated game Tuesday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

A bout of lower-back soreness forced Dahl to the injured list last Wednesday, but he seems to be progressing well. If he comes out of the sim game feeling OK, Dahl could end up returning after the minimum 10 days or shortly thereafter. The oft-injured outfielder has struggled to a .189/.238/.243 line so far but should still see regular action upon activation.

Dahl was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with lower-back soreness.

EDGE Analysis

Dahl was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the Astros due to the issue, and it's serious enough to keep him sidelined for at least another 10 days. Sam Hilliard, who started in place of Dahl on Tuesday, is a candidate to fill in for the outfielder, while Brendan Rodgers was recalled from Colorado's alternate camp in a corresponding move. Prior to landing on the IL, Dahl was slashing just .189/.237/.243 with zero home runs and a 4:21 BB:K in 19 games.

Dahl was scratched from the lineup Tuesday against Houston due to lower-back tightness.

EDGE Analysis

The oft-injured outfielder hadn't missed any time due to injury previously this season, though he did battle a core issue during camp. Sam Hilliard will take over as the center fielder Tuesday.

Dahl is not in Sunday's lineup against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

He sat out Saturday against a righty and will sit again Sunday against a lefty. Dahl is 0-for-15 with eight strikeouts and zero walks over his last four games. Garrett Hampson will start in center field while Raimel Tapia starts in left field.

Dahl is not in the starting lineup against the Rangers on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Dahl is 0-for-15 with eight strikeouts and no walks over his last four games and and will receive a routine rest Saturday. Raimel Tapia will serve as the starting centerfielder in Dahl's place.

Dahl went 2-for-4 with one RBI and two strikeouts in Sunday's loss to the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Dahl has been cold at the plate to begin the season, so manager Bud Black decided to make a change for the team's series against Seattle. After sitting in the series opener, Dahl was removed from his leadoff spot. He went 0-for-3 with a run and one walk Saturday while batting seventh and tallied two hits from the five-hole Sunday. If Dahl is able to turn things around at the plate while batting lower in the order, it's unclear whether he'll return to his spot at the top of the lineup. The 26-year-old carries a .606 OPS with six RBI and 12 strikeouts over his first 14 games this season.
