McMahon went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 3-2 win against Miami.
EDGE Analysis
McMahon had the only extra-base hit by either team in the contest, and it was a big one, as his sixth-inning, 438-foot solo shot broke a 2-2 tie and ended up providing the decisive margin of victory. The long ball snapped a 20-game homerless streak for the infielder, and he had batted a meager .155 with a 31.3 percent strikeout rate during the power drought. McMahon now has 17 home runs overall this season, putting him on pace to reach the 20-homer mark for the fourth consecutive campaign.

McMahon went 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a walk Sunday against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
McMahon delivered an RBI double in the fifth inning, snapping a nine-game stretch during which he didn't tally an extra-base hit. While his overall stat line is comparable to past seasons, McMahon has had a disastrous August by hitting .147 with a 31.6 percent strikeout rate across 19 games.

McMahon is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
The Nationals are sending southpaw Patrick Corbin to the hill in Thursday's matinee, presenting an opportunity to give the left-handed-hitting McMahon some rest. Aaron Schunk will handle third base for the Rockies.

McMahon is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
With the Rockies and Diamondbacks concluding their series with a day game after a night game and with a southpaw (Jordan Montgomery) on the hill for Arizona, the lefty-hitting McMahon will be given a breather. McMahon had a pair of two-hit games against Atlanta over the weekend but has fallen back into his post-All-Star-break lull at the plate so far in Arizona, as he went 0-for-8 with four strikeouts through the first two games of the series. He's now batting just .119 with a 32.1 percent strikeout rate in the second half.

McMahon is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
The Rockies are wrapping up their series with a day game after a night game and are facing off against a lefty (David Peterson), so manager Bud Black likely viewed Thursday's contest as a good opportunity to give the lefty-hitting McMahon some off time. Aaron Schunk will step in at third base in place of McMahon, who had gone hitless in each of his last six starts, bringing his batting average down to .252 for the season.

McMahon went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's 10-7 loss to the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
McMahon's blast gave the Rockies a 6-2 lead in the second inning, but they didn't hold the lead for long. The infielder has gone 15 games without a multi-hit effort, batting a poor .170 in that span, though he has drawn 11 walks. For the season, he's at a .262/.348/.440 slash line with 16 homers, 50 RBI, 51 runs scored, 21 doubles and three stolen bases over 104 contests. After staying put at the trade deadline, McMahon should continue to occupy a starting role in the heart of the lineup.

McMahon is out of the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
With southpaw Blake Snell on the mound for the Giants in Game 1, the lefty-hitting McMahon will head to the bench. Aaron Schunk will bat ninth and play third base during the matinee, though McMahon should be back in the lineup for the nightcap against right-hander Hayden Birdsong.

McMahon went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Wednesday against Boston.
EDGE Analysis
McMahon missed one game after jamming his finger Monday, but he returned Wednesday to tally his 15th home run of the season. He also ended a homer drought, as his previous long ball had come on June 22. In that span, McMahon managed to hit .259, but he had only five RBI and nine runs scored across 24 games.

McMahon (finger) will start at third base and bat fourth in Wednesday's game versus the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
He jammed a finger in Monday's game and didn't play Tuesday, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go in Wednesday's series finale. McMahon has reached base 11 times over his last five contests but will bring a 23-game homerless streak into action Wednesday.

McMahon (finger) isn't in the Rockies' lineup Tuesday against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
A jammed finger prevented McMahon from starting Monday's game, and he'll need at least another day to recover before returning to Colorado's starting nine. Aaron Schunk will pick up another start at third base and bat ninth Tuesday.
