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.
