Michael Cuddyer homered, doubled and knocked in three runs in the Rockies' 9-5 victory over the Dodgers on Thursday. Cuddyer lost his 27-game hitting streak on Tuesday, but he's responded by reaching base seven times the last two days. The homer tonight was his 15th. He may not reach his career high of 32 from 2009 this year, but he should get to 25 for the second time of his career as long as he stays relatively healthy.

Michael Cuddyer went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Giants. Cuddyer extended his hitting streak to 27 games in the eighth inning and came around to score on a Willin Rosario double. He's now batting .462 (12-for-26) over his last seven contests.

Michael Cuddyer launched a two-run home run in Friday's win over the Giants. The blast extended his hitting streak to 25 games, which is the longest such streak in the majors this season. With a .347/.398/.602 batting line to go along with 14 home runs, 47 RBI, six stolen bases, and 37 runs scored in 60 games, Cuddyer has quietly been one of the most valuable position players in fantasy leagues this season.

Michael Cuddyer smacked a pair of solo homers in Wednesday's loss to the Red Sox. He hit one over the boards in the sixth and eighth innings, but by that time the Rockies were already down 5-1 and they were unable to tack on any more.

Michael Cuddyer propelled Colorado to a 7-6 win Sunday against the Nationals by going 3-for-4 with a homer and four RBI. In so doing, Cuddyer extended his hitting streak to a season-high 21 games (he missed five games in the middle of the streak due to sore ribs). The 34-year-old outfielder is on pace for 23 homers and 90 RBI (both of which would be his best outputs since 2009) and 13 steals (which would be a career high). He's batting .339/.394/.573 through 218 at-bats.

Michael Cuddyer (ribs) is back in the Rockies' starting lineup on Thursday against the Nationals. Cuddyer sat out for a full week after bruising his rib cage in a collision at first base last Thursday. The 34-year-old outfielder is batting .339/.397/.603 with 10 home runs and 37 RBI in 46 games this season.

Michael Cuddyer (ribs) will return to the Rockies' lineup on Thursday. Cuddyer was feeling well enough to play Wednesday, but with a day game Thursday, they decided to give him a bit more rest. He's hasn't played since last Thursday, when he suffered bruised ribs on a collision at first base. "Cuddy is feeling much better, but yesterday was the first physical day he had -- swinging the bat off a live arm -- and things went well," manager Walt Weiss said. "We'll give him one more day, especially since tomorrow is a day game, as opposed to running him out there tonight, then turning around and doing it again tomorrow. We'll give it another 24 hours."

An MRI taken Tuesday afternoon on Michael Cuddyer's sore rib cage revealed only a bruise. Cuddyer hasn't played since last Thursday but he is expected to avoid the 15-day disabled list. The 34-year-old is batting .339/.397/.603 with 10 homers and 37 RBI.

Michael Cuddyer will not be placed on the disabled list. Cuddyer sat out Friday because of discomfort in his rib cage, but he does not have an oblique strain and should be ready to rock after a couple days of rest. The 34-year-old outfielder is batting .339/.397/.603 with 10 home runs and 37 RBI in 45 games this season.

Michael Cuddyer missed Friday's game due to a "rib strain." Cuddyer wasn't available Friday with "general soreness," but the injury is more serious than originally thought. The Denver Post speculates that Cuddyer may be dealing with an oblique strain and could be placed on the disabled list. With both Cuddyer and Carlos Gonzalez sidelined, the Rockies could call up Tyler Colvin or Charlie Blackmon from Triple-A Colorado Springs.
