The Rockies recalled Dahl from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dahl is likely slated to serve as a fourth outfielder initially as he returns to Colorado, though it wouldn't be surprising to see him challenge Gerardo Parra or Carlos Gonzalez's holds on everyday roles. Now healthy again after he was sidelined for nearly two months with a fractured foot, Dahl had been sporting a hot bat with Albuquerque prior to his promotion. Over his past six games, Dahl went 9-for-26 (.346 average) with a home run and four doubles.

Dahl (foot) was activated from the 10-day disabled list Friday, and he'll head to Triple-A Albuquerque.
EDGE Analysis
Dahl was placed on the disabled list June 1 with a broken right foot, but he'll return after completing his minor-league rehab assignment. The 24-year-old was batting .275 with four homers and 13 RBI over 32 games prior to suffering the injury.

Dahl (foot) currently plans to return to game action in some capacity Friday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dahl has been out since late May after fouling a ball off his foot, but it seems like he's inching toward a return. He completed baseball activities the past couple weeks and hasn't encountered a setback yet. If all goes as planned, he should be able to return to the Rockies outfield sometime in late July, though a firm timetable for his rehab assignment has yet to be revealed. Look for Gerardo Parra and Carlos Gonzalez to hold down the corner outfield spots in his stead.

Dahl (foot) took batting practice Friday, Nick Groke of The Athletic Denver reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dahl is rehabbing in Arizona from a broken foot, and after shedding his walking boot June 30, he's beginning to ramp up his baseball activity. He'll likely need at least a few more weeks before a return is possible, as he'll require several tuneup games in the minor leagues.

Dahl (foot) is walking without a boot on his right foot and is expected to start his rehab assignment in about 10 days, Nick Groke of The Athletic Denver reports.
EDGE Analysis
The outfielder was initially handed a timetable of 6-to-8 weeks on June 1, so this might shade toward a return after a window of somewhere in the middle. Dahl probably will need at least several games' worth of tuneup plate appearances, but even when he's deemed ready for activation, he might not find a clear path to regular playing time -- or even a spot with the big-league club -- if Charlie Blackmon and Gerardo Parra maintain at least top-side platoon roles in the corner spots.

Dahl expects to miss 6-to-8 weeks with a broken right foot, Nick Groke of The Athletic Denver reports.
EDGE Analysis
The toolsy outfielder hasn't been able to stay healthy long since reaching the majors in 2016. In fact, injuries have limited him to 95 MLB games since his 2016 call-up, and now he is projected to miss up to two months. Gerardo Parra and Carlos Gonzalez should be in for semi-regular playing time now that Dahl is on the shelf.

Dahl was placed on the 10-day disabled list Friday with a broken right foot.
EDGE Analysis
Now we know why he was mysteriously out of the lineup for three straight games. Dahl just can't catch a break, as injuries have cost him a lot of time in his professional career, and he appears to be headed for another extended absence. DJ LeMahieu (thumb) was activated from the disabled list as a corresponding move. Gerardo Parra and Carlos Gonzalez should be in for regular playing time now that Dahl is on the shelf.

Dahl is out of Wednesday's lineup against the Giants, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Rockies will go a third game in a row with Dahl on the bench to start, and while two of those games have been against lefties, it's certainly irksome to see the talented youngster strictly platooned this early in his career. The other instance was presumably due to Gerardo Parra having good career numbers against Jeff Samardzija, which is perhaps even more frustrating for Dahl's fantasy owners. Noel Cuevas is starting in left field and hitting second.

Dahl is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dahl will give way to Gerardo Parra in right field for a second straight game, as Parra is 13-for-33 in his career against opposing starter Jeff Samardzija. The 24-year-old collided with Brandon Crawford during Monday's game, but he told Harding that he could have started and is available off the bench if needed Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis
He is hitting .261/.298/.443 with three home runs and one stolen base in 88 at-bats this season and had started in four straight games. Noel Cuevas is hitting second and starting in left field against lefty Andrew Suarez.
