Hitting bench against southpaw Cave is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.

Impact The lefty-hitting Cave will hit the bench for the series finale while the Mets send southpaw David Peterson to the hill. Cave looks to be secure in a strong-side platoon role in the Colorado outfield for the time being, but he'll see his opportunities to start against right-handed pitching take a hit once Nolan Jones (back) returns from the injured list. Jones hasn't appeared in any rehab games since last Saturday following the birth of his child, but he's expected to rejoin Triple-A Albuquerque in the coming days before eventually getting activated.

Hits go-ahead homer Cave went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Mets.

Impact Cave's fourth-inning blast off Luis Severino was enough for the Rockies to secure the win. This was Cave's second homer in his last five games, but he's gone 15 contests without a multi-hit effort, batting a paltry .189 (10-for-53) in that span. For the season, the outfielder is at a .247/.291/.374 slash line with five homers, 27 RBI, 31 runs scored and four stolen bases over 92 contests in his first year with Colorado.

It marked the outfielder's fourth long ball since the start of July and he's now hit safely in eight of his last nine starts. Still, he's batting just .222 (8-for-36) over that stretch with no multi-hit performances. Cave has also struck out twice in four of his last five contests.
