Blackmon (illness) is back in the lineup for Thursday's Cactus League finale, batting leadoff and patrolling center field.

EDGE Analysis

Blackmon was one of several Rockies who caught the flu recently, but it seems like the illness has subsided. The 30-year-old outfielder has been tearing up the Cactus League (.362 batting average, three home runs), and he'll look to carry that success into Colorado's Opening Day matchup with the Brewers.
