Blackmon (toe) was placed on the 15-day disabled list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon is suffering from turf toe and will now be sent to the DL in order to free up a roster spot for catcher Dustin Garneau. It is expected that Gerardo Parra will start in center field while Ben Paulsen plays left field in his absence. The 29-year-old hit .287 with 17 home runs, 93 runs scored, and 43 stolen bases in 2015, so this will hurt both the Rockies, as well as fantasy teams, over the next couple weeks.
