The Rockies placed Blackmon on the bereavement list Monday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon's absence from the lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks was initially believed to be a routine day off, but he apparently didn't make the trip with the Rockies for the start of a four-game series in Arizona. Per MLB rules, Blackmon can remain on the list for 3-to-7 days, so he could be back with the team as soon as Thursday's series finale. The Rockies recalled corner infielder Elehuris Montero from Triple-A Albuquerque to replace Blackmon on the 26-man active roster.

Blackmon is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon will get a breather in the series opener after he served as the Rockies' designated hitter in all three games of the club's weekend series with the Mets while going 5-for-14 with two home runs and five RBI. Kris Bryant will get a day out of the outfield and will step in at DH in place of Blackmon on Monday.

Blackmon went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and two additional runs scored in Sunday's 11-10 win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon went through a 17-game homer drought for much of May, but he's swatted two long balls over his last three contests. He's riding a nine-game hitting streak, batting .343 (12-for-35) with seven extra-base hits in that span. The veteran is up to a .287/.369/.466 slash line with five homers, 23 RBI, 30 runs scored, 13 doubles and two triples through 48 contests, and he remains in a leadoff role versus right-handed pitchers.

Blackmon went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon is now on a seven-game hit streak, and also has hits in 14 of his last 15 contests. The longtime Rockie has been scorching hot in the month of May, even without the power-hitting numbers he put up in his prime years.

Blackmon is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon will take a seat as the Rockies face left-hander Andrew Heaney on Sunday. The outfielder has been limited to just 39 at-bats versus southpaws in 2023, batting .282 with two extra-base hits. Kris Bryant will draw the start at designated hitter while Randal Grichuk enters the lineup in right field and bats fourth in the series finale with Texas.

Blackmon went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored Sunday against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon reached base to lead off the bottom of the first inning and came around to score. He later doubled in the fifth frame to tally his second run of the game. Blackmon receives regular days off but has been productive across 33 at-bats in May, collecting 10 hits, six RBI and six runs scored. While his home park helps, five of the nine games in that span have come on the road.

EDGE Analysis
Blackmon sometimes sits against southpaws, and that will be the case in this one with Ranger Suarez on the hill for the Phillies. Kris Bryant is at designated hitter while Brenton Doyle gets the start in the outfield.
