Gains regular spot in lineup vs. RHPs Cave will start in right field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Astros.

Impact The lefty-hitting Cave looks to have moved into a strong-side platoon role in the Colorado outfield. He'll pick up a start in the outfield Wednesday for the Rockies' eighth straight matchup with a right-handed starting pitcher. The 31-year-old owns a .250/.303/.326 slash line with no home runs and two stolen bases over 145 plate appearances on the season, so he'll likely struggle to deliver much meaningful fantasy value even if he continues to see steady playing time versus righties.

Back in lineup Saturday Cave (head) is playing right field and batting seventh Saturday against Pittsburgh.

Impact After being hit in the head by a line drive Friday during pre-game BP, Cave was cleared for action Saturday and will start in right field. Prior to the incident, Cave had generated a hit in three straight games and owns a .607 OPS on the year.

JUNE 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Playing-time window reopens Cave will start in left field and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Twins, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Cave will nab his seventh consecutive start in the Colorado outfield, despite going 2-for-16 with five walks in the first six of those contests. Though he's benefited from extra opportunities with Kris Bryant (ribs) and Sean Bouchard (ankle) recently joining Jordan Beck (hand) and Nolan Jones (knee) on the injured list, Cave is a prime candidate to lose out on a regular lineup spot in the near future with Jones' return seemingly imminent.

JUNE 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Losing work to Sean Bouchard Cave is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Even with fellow outfielder Jordan Beck (hand) landing on the injured list Sunday, Cave has seen his opportunities take a hit. The lefty-hitting Cave will hit the bench for a fourth straight game Wednesday, with two absences coming against lefties and two coming versus right-handed pitchers. Sean Bouchard has started in all four of those contests and appears to be the preferred option at the corner-outfield spot opposite Charlie Blackmon.

Hitting bench Wednesday Cave is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Impact Though he'll hit the bench Wednesday against right-hander Mitch Spence, the lefty-hitting Cave could still be included in the lineup versus righties more often than not, at least until Nolan Jones (back) returns from the injured list. Cave looked to be at risk of losing out on playing time when Kris Bryant was activated Tuesday, but Cave started in right field in the Rockies' series-opening loss and went 1-for-4 to extend his hitting streak to seven games. Rather than Cave, Elehuris Montero has been the main loser thus far since Bryant's return, as Montero has sat out twice in a row.

On bench for third straight game Cave is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.

Impact Cave had started in right field in both of the Rockies' previous two matchups with right-handed pitchers, but he'll be on the bench Wednesday while Colorado opposes San Francisco righty Jordan Hicks. Sean Bouchard -- who started the previous two games when the Rockies opposed lefties -- will remain in right field for Wednesday's contest.

On bench against righty Cave will be on the bench Saturday against St. Louis.

Impact Cave has filled a platoon role for most of the second half, starting against most righties while sitting against every lefty, but that pattern may be changing. He's now sat four four straight games, two of which have come against right-handers, including Saturday's starter Miles Mikolas. As was the case Wednesday against righty Spencer Strider, it will be Brandon Marsh in left field and Johan Rojas in center.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting against lefty Cave isn't in the Phillies' lineup Friday against St. Louis.

Impact Left-hander Zack Thompson will start on the mound for the Cardinals on Friday, so the left-handed bat of Cave will remain in the dugout to begin the game. Cristian Pache will start in left field and bat eighth while Cave sits.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On bench Wednesday Cave is absent from the lineup Wednesday versus Atlanta.

Impact Brandon Marsh, Johan Rojas and Nick Castellanos will start across the outfield for the Phillies as they take on ace right-hander Spencer Strider. Cave has been playing against most righties, but he carries a rough .230/.284/.385 overall season slash line.
