McMahon went 1-for-4 with a homer in Friday's loss against Washington.
EDGE Analysis
McMahon's homer went an estimated 441 feet off MacKenzie Gore in the second inning. The second baseman has gone deep twice in the first eight games and is slugging .500, but he's also hitting just .200 over his first 30 at-bats.

McMahon went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
McMahon accounted for the only run Colorado scored Sunday, smacking his first home run of the season in the seventh inning. He's been in the lineup for all four games to start the new campaign and has hit fifth in the lineup when facing right-handed pitchers. McMahon has only three hits through 17 at-bats, though all of them have gone for extra bases. He's also chipped in a stolen base.

McMahon went 1-for-5 with a double and a stolen base Thursday against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
McMahon was in the starting lineup and hit sixth even with southpaw Blake Snell on the mound, though it remains to be seen if he'll get regular at-bats without the handedness advantage beyond Opening Day. His production came entirely against righty Domingo Tapia in the sixth inning Thursday, when he hit a double with no outs but was ultimately stranded at third. When Colorado faces right-handed starters, McMahon is expected to hit third in the order.

McMahon is likely to hit third in the Rockies' lineup to begin the season, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Rockies have shown significant belief in McMahon, as they signed him to a lucrative six-year, $70 million contract entering the 2022 season. He's coming off a disappointing campaign -- during which he maintained only a 95 wRC+ across 597 plate appearances -- but the club still has high expectations for him. If McMahon continues to struggle with the bat, he'll likely slip down the order as the season progresses, but he'll begin with a strong opportunity to rack up both RBI and runs.

McMahon is expected to move to second base for the Rockies in the wake of the Brendan Rodgers (shoulder) injury, general manager Bill Schmidt told Joel Sherman of the New York Post on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
There's no official word yet on whether Rodgers will need season-ending surgery to repair his left shoulder, but it is trending in that direction. As a result, McMahon will shift to second base where he has plenty of experience. Regaining eligibility at another relatively weak fantasy position is a boon to his value. Schmidt added that the team would look at Nolan Jones and Elehuris Montero at third base with McMahon on the move. Kris Bryant is expected to still see the bulk of his time in the outfield.

McMahon is starting at second base and batting fifth for the Rockies on Friday in their Cactus League game versus the Giants, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's possible McMahon will move over to second base full-time in 2023 with Brendan Rodgers (shoulder) potentially out for the season. The Rockies don't seem set on a plan yet, though, or perhaps they're just waiting for official word on Rodgers before revealing anything. If McMahon does slide over to the keystone, Elehuris Montero and Nolan Jones could get a look at third base, with Kris Bryant moving back to the dirt also a possibility. If McMahon stays at third, Alan Trejo and Harold Castro would represent options at second.

McMahon isn't in the lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
After going 6-for-16 with two RBI over the last four games, McMahon will catch a day off Tuesday. Elehuris Montero will serve as his replacement at third base and bat seventh.

McMahon went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
McMahon got the Rockies on the board with a solo shot in the fourth inning. It was his third homer in his last six games, and it got him to the 20-homer mark for the third time in the last four years. The infielder is slashing .245/.326/.415 with 66 RBI, 66 runs scored and seven stolen bases through 149 contests in 2022, and it appears he'll conclude the year as the starting third baseman after he signed a six-year contract with the Rockies before the season.
