Blackmon is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
He'll take a seat while the Padres and Rockies wrap up their series with a day game after a night game. With Blackmon on the bench along with Nolan Jones (back), Jake Cave and Hunter Goodman will occupy the corner outfield spots, and catcher Elias Diaz will get a day off behind the plate and will serve as the Rockies' designated hitter.

Blackmon is out of the lineup for Wednesday game versus the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
He'll take a seat as the Phillies send left-hander Cristopher Sanchez to the bump. The Rockies have a team off day Thursday, so Blackmon will get a couple days of rest before Friday's series opener versus the Mariners.

Blackmon is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Blue Jays.

Blackmon is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
The Rockies and Diamondbacks are concluding their series with a day game and Arizona is also starting left-hander Tommy Henry, so it makes for an opportune time for Blackmon to get a breather. Michael Toglia will start in right field and Kris Bryant will serve as the Rockies' designated hitter while Blackmon sits.

Blackmon went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a triple, a walk and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon led off the home half of the first inning with a triple and scored the game's first run shortly after. He then added an insurance run with his solo shot in the eighth. The veteran outfielder is off to a great start, slashing .325/.372/.575 with six extra-base knocks through 10 games. Blackmon was 1-for-12 over his previous three games since his last multi-hit effort April 3.

Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a double, a run and two RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon helped ignite Colorado's offense from the top of the lineup, logging his second straight three-hit game out of the leadoff spot. The veteran outfielder has looked rejuvenated to begin the campaign, slashing .417/.440/.625 with five RBI through six games. He's yet to go deep but has four extra-base hits among his 10 overall knocks, and -- perhaps most impressively -- he's yet to strike out across 24 plate appearances.

Blackmon is expected to serve as the Rockies' primary designated hitter in 2024, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon signed a one-year, $13 million extension with the Rockies just before the close of the 2023 campaign. Given that financial commitment, he's expected to keep a significant role on the team. Blackmon has stated a desire to play regularly in right field, but manager Bud Black is prioritizing carefully managing the veteran's workload.

The Rockies signed Blackmon to a one-year contract extension Friday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon had been scheduled to become a free agent this winter at age 37, but he'll stay home in Colorado for what will be his 14th major-league season. He was selected by the Rockies in the second round of the 2008 MLB Draft out of Georgia Tech and has tallied 1,688 career big-league hits, all in the purple and black. The new one-year deal carries a $13 million guarantee with another $2 million available in performance-based incentives, per Steve Adams of MLBTradeRumors.com.
