Dahl has a "slight" core injury in his lower abdomen, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The exact nature of the injury remains unclear, but manager Bud Black did not describe it as a serious one. He's not starting Monday against Atlanta but could still avoid a trip to the injured list. Raimel Tapia starts in his place and will likely feature on a regular basis until he's able to return.

Dahl (upper body) is not in the lineup Monday against the Braves, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
This was expected, as Dahl is being further evaluated after exiting Sunday's game with a possible oblique injury. It's worth noting that the young outfielder missed the entire 2017 season due to a stress reaction in this same area of the body. Raimel Tapia is starting in left field and hitting second in his place Monday.

Manager Bud Black said Dahl left Sunday's loss to the Dodgers after feeling something "below abdomen, near oblique," Troy Renck of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dahl is expected to be re-evaluated Monday, while it's worth noting he missed the entire 2017 season due to a stress reaction in this area of the body. Raimel Tapia took Dahl's place in this one, while the team will be anxiously awaiting the results of the key players test results.

Dahl left Sunday's game against the Dodgers after his first at-bat, Buster Olney of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dahl was lifted from the contest and replaced by Raimel Tapia after appearing to be in discomfort after a swinging strike against Julio Urias. More information on the extent of the injury should become available after the game, but hopefully it doesn't result in an extended absence, as Dahl was off to a torrid start with a .353/.395/.647 slash line through 34 at-bats and looked headed for a breakout campaign.

Dahl went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
A healthy Dahl appears to be finally living up to his potential, slashing .353/.395/.647 through nine games with two homers and six RBI. The 25-year-old played only 115 games over the last two seasons between the minors and majors due to various injuries, however, so he has a lot to prove in terms of durability before he should be considered a reliable fantasy asset.

Dahl went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Colorado's 10-6 loss to the Dodgers on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Dahl had yet to go yard coming into the game, but he checked in with his first homer of the season, launching a ninth-inning solo shot off Yimi Garcia. He's off to a solid start overall, as he's now slashing .300/.353/.533 with a triple and two doubles to go along with the one homer through his first 30 at-bats.

Dahl went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Colorado's 6-3 victory over the Marlins on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Tabbed as a popular breakout candidate ahead of the season, Dahl got his 2019 campaign off to a strong start with a three-hit effort. Dahl showed his offensive talent with his .859 OPS over 249 at-bats last season, so if he stays healthy and manages to match or exceed that number as an everyday fixture in the lineup this season, the 24-year-old could be in for a big fantasy campaign hitting in a Colorado lineup that surrounds him with run producers.

Dahl went 3-for-3 with a two-run home run Thursday against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Dahl clubbed a two-run homer in the third inning to tie the game, 3-3. He's now batting .318 with three RBI and four runs scored in spring training and the expectation is that he'll be the everyday starter in left field for the Rockies when the regular season commences.

Dahl will be the Rockies' primary left fielder this season, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The initial expectation was that Dahl would play right field with Charlie Blackmon in left, but the Rockies will instead move Blackmon to right field, a position he played frequently earlier in his career. Regardless of where exactly he plays, a healthy season should see Dahl easily play in the most games of his career after he averaged 70 appearances over his first two seasons.

Dahl is not in the lineup for Game 3 of the NLDS against the Brewers, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dahl hit just .234 against lefties this season and has yet to record a hit this postseason, so he'll head to the bench with southpaw Wade Miley taking the hill for Milwaukee. Matt Holliday will take over in left field to replace him.
