Resting against lefty Blackmon is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Blackmon went 0-for-4 while starting against lefty Eduardo Rodriguez in Tuesday's 4-3 loss, but the former will hit the bench for the series finale while Arizona sends another southpaw (Jordan Montgomery) to the bump. Hunter Goodman will replace Blackmon as the Rockies' designated hitter.

Contributes in comeback win Blackmon went 3-for-5 with two RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 9-8 win over Atlanta.

Impact Blackmon was a contributor in Sunday's eighth-inning comeback, getting the Rockies within two runs on a two-run single before scoring on Ryan McMahon's single. This was Blackmon's fifth multi-hit effort over his last 12 games, a span in which he's batting .300 (15-for-50) with six RBI. He's up to a .258/.331/.400 slash line with eight homers, 38 RBI, 46 runs scored, five stolen bases, 19 doubles and three triples across 89 contests this season.

Returning to lineup Tuesday Blackmon (head) is batting leadoff as the designated hitter Tuesday against the Mets.

Impact The 38-year-old sat out Saturday and Sunday after being hit in the head by a throw during Friday's contest, but he'll return to action for Tuesday's series opener versus New York. Blackmon has a .225/.340/.300 slash line with a 7:12 BB:K in 11 games since the All-Star break.

Remaining on bench Sunday Blackmon (head) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Impact Blackmon exited Friday's contest after being hit in the head with a throw while running the bases, and he's out of the starting nine Sunday for the second straight game. Hunter Goodman will bat seventh as the designated hitter in the series finale at San Diego.

Sitting Saturday Blackmon (head) is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Padres.

Impact Blackmon left Friday's 5-2 loss early after being struck in the face with an errant throw from San Diego's shortstop Xander Bogaerts and he'll now take a seat in Saturday's matchup. With left-hander Martin Perez on the mound, it's possible that Blackmon would've take a seat anyway, so it's unclear if the injury or the matchup is the reason for his absence Saturday. Kris Bryant will slot in at designated hitter while Sam Hilliard enters the lineup in right field and bats ninth against San Diego.

Exits early Friday Blackmon was removed from Friday's game against the Padres after getting hit in the head by a throw, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

Impact An errant throw from Xander Bogaerts connected with Blackmon's face as he was running toward first base in the third inning. The 38-year-old outfielder was able to walk off the field on his own, but he'll likely be evaluated for a concussion in the Rockies' clubhouse.

Impact With left-hander Blake Snell on the mound for the Giants in Game 1, Colorado has opted not to send out a single left-handed hitter for the matinee.

Goes deep again Saturday Blackmon went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Mets on Saturday.

Impact Blackmon brought the Rockies to within a run with his two-run blast in the fifth frame, but that was the last time Colorado was able to score. The homer was Blackmon's second in as many games since returning from a hamstring injury that resulted in him sitting out three matchups. The veteran outfielder had gone deep just twice over his previous 26 games prior to leaving the park in back-to-back contests.

Belts fifth homer Blackmon went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 7-6 loss to the Mets.

Impact The 38-year-old outfielder lofted a Jake Diekman fastball off the facing of the second deck in right field at Citi Field in the eighth inning, one of nine combined homers by the two teams on the night -- the highest single-game total in the majors this season. Blackmon missed the prior three games with a sore hamstring, but he looked healthy in his return as the DH. The blast was his second long ball through eight games in July, and his fifth of the year.

In lineup Friday Blackmon (hamstring) is the DH and batting leadoff Friday against the Mets.

Impact Blackmon has been nursing soreness in his right hamstring stemming from a sliding catch he made Monday. After spending three straight games on the bench, the 37-year-old is back in the starting nine Friday. Blackmon is slashing .256/.325/.402 with four homers and five stolen bases over 280 plate appearances.

Out again due to hamstring issue Blackmon is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Reds due to a slight right hamstring injury, MLB.com reports.

Impact Manager Bud Black said that Blackmon "tweaked" his hamstring while making a sliding catch during Monday's 6-0 loss to the Reds. The lefty-hitting Blackmon received a planned off day Tuesday while the Reds sent southpaw Nick Lodolo to the mound, but the 38-year-old's continued absences from the lineup against right-handed starters Frankie Montas and Hunter Greene on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively, signals that Blackmon is still being slowed by the injury. Blackmon had been available for pinch-hitting duties in Wednesday's 6-5 win but went unused, so he could once again be a candidate to come off the bench Thursday.
