Kemp is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Astros, Jenny Cavnar of AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kemp has seen some playing time open back up after the Rockies placed David Dahl (back) and Chris Owings (hamstring) on the injured list over the last two days, but the 35-year-old still won't be guaranteed a spot in the everyday lineup. While Kemp should at least handle a part-time role at designated hitter in the short term, Rockies manager Bud Black will also likely use that spot in the lineup to give some other everyday players days out of the field.

Kemp remains out of the lineup Tuesday in Houston, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kemp started nine of the first 10 games in August but has since been in the lineup for just two of the last seven. With a .531 OPS over his last 11 games, it's no surprise to see his opportunities start to fade. Daniel Murphy will rest his legs as the designated hitter Tuesday, with Ryan McMahon starting at first base.

Kemp isn't in the lineup Monday against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Kemp's bat got hot Sunday as he went 2-for-4 with three runs in the series finale against the Rangers, but he'll get a day off to begin the Rockies' road trip. David Dahl will serve as the designated hitter Monday.

Kemp is out of the lineup Friday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Kemp finds himself on the bench for the second straight contest while mired in a 4-for-23 slump. Raimel Tapia will serve as the designated hitter Friday for Colorado.

Kemp is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Kemp is stuck in a 4-for-23 slump at the plate over his last eight games, so manager Bud Black will keep him on the bench for the second straight day. Charlie Blackmon will get a turn as the designated hitter Wednesday, but Kemp should still be the primary option for those duties if he's able to pick up the pace at the plate in the near future.

Kemp is not starting Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Kemp sits after starting nine of the last 10 games. He's looked good at the plate through his first 46 plate appearances for the Rockies this season, hitting .256/.370/462. David Dahl will rest his legs as the designated hitter Tuesday, with Garrett Hampson starting in center field.

Kemp isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Kemp has been on a tear over four consecutive starts since the Rockies returned to Coors Field, going 4-for-15 with two home runs and five RBI. However, he'll take a breather Wednesday as Charlie Blackmon shifts to designated hitter with Raimel Tapia starting in right field and batting seventh.

Kemp will serve as the Rockies' designated hitter for the fourth straight game Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Kemp started just one of the first six games but seems to be trusted with an everyday role at this point, starting once against a lefty followed by three straight starts against righties. He's made a strong impression in his first 20 plate appearances for the Rockies, hitting .353 with a pair of homers and seven RBI.

Kemp went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run Sunday against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Kemp took Zach Davies deep in the fourth inning, yanking an offering down the left field line and well into the stands. It was his second home run of the season and his second in as many games. While Kemp hasn't been a full-time player, he's managed to get on base eight times in 16 plate appearances and also has a double in addition to the pair of home runs.

Kemp went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two runs scored and a walk in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Kemp took Padres reliever Cal Quantrill deep in the third inning for his first homer of the year. Kemp also got aboard with a walk in the fifth and scored on a Chris Owings single. The 35-year-old Kemp has added four RBI and three walks in 12 plate appearances. He doesn't get many starts anymore, but he's been a productive hitter in limited time in 2020.
