EDGE Analysis
Dahl was sent to the injured list Aug. 3 due to a right ankle sprain, though he appears to be making solid progress. "It's just continuing to strengthen it, and once it's ready to go, it's ready to go," stated Dahl. "I'm way better now than I was three or four days ago. I'm very excited about it."

Dahl was placed on the 10-day injured list with a high-right-ankle sprain Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Dahl suffered the injury while changing directions in the outfield Friday. The nature of the sprain suggests that his absence won't be brief, though the Rockies have yet to provide a target return date. Ian Desmond will likely slide back to center field in his absence, with Raimel Tapia starting in left. Yonathan Daza was recalled to presumably fill a bench role.

Dahl was carted off the field after injuring his right ankle during Friday's game against the Giants, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dahl appeared to suffer the injury changing direction in the outfield while chasing a flyball. The extent of the injury is not yet known, but considering he needed to be carted off the field, he'll likely miss some time.

Dahl went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run, three RBI and two runs to help the Rockies to a 9-1 victory over the Dodgers on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
It was a big day from atop the order for the lefty, as he cranked his 15th long ball of the season with a two-run shot off Josh Sborz and wound up driving in three of his team's nine runs for the game. Tabbed as a popular breakout candidate before the season, Dahl has largely lived up to the billing so far in 2019, as he's sporting a .304/.356/.525 slash line across 401 plate appearances.

Dahl (foot) will start in right field and bat third Saturday against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Dahl's left foot has been bothering him since he fouled a ball off himself Wednesday against the Giants, resulting in his early departure from that contest. The 25-year-old was given the green light to rejoin the starting nine for Friday's series opener in New York but was ultimately scratched while he continued to deal with some soreness. Though Dahl wasn't summoned off the bench Friday, the rest he received was apparently enough for him to overcome the issue, as the Rockies will use him in the outfield even with the designated hitter spot available.

Dahl was scratched from Friday's lineup against the Yankees due to a bruised foot, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dahl is still dealing with a bruised left foot after fouling a ball off himself during Wednesday's clash, so he'll head to the bench for at least one more day. His availability for Saturday will likely depend on how he feels upon his arrival to the ballpark.

EDGE Analysis

Dahl was removed from Wednesday's game with a left foot contusion, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dahl fouled a ball off his foot during the first inning Wednesday; while he was initially able to stay in the game, the outfielder was ultimately replaced by Garrett Hampson in the third inning. He's set to be further evaluated following Wednesday's game, at which point more should be known regarding the severity of his injury.
