Rockies' Charlie Blackmon: On bench again Tuesday
Rotowire
Blackmon is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Atlanta.
Blackmon has seen his playing time taper off lately, as this is the second game in a row and the sixth time over the last 12 contests that he's been on the bench. Part of the reasoning behind fewer starts for the 38-year-old is getting more of a look at younger players. However, with lefty Chris Sale on the bump for Atlanta, there's a decent chance Blackmon would have sat out anyhow. Drew Romo will get a start at designated hitter Tuesday.

Rockies' Charlie Blackmon: Getting rest in series opener

Blackmon often heads to the bench against left-handed pitching, but he'll take a seat Monday while right-hander Edward Cabrera toes the rubber for Miami. The Rockies haven't indicated that Blackmon is nursing any sort of injury, so his absence from the lineup may just be a matter of maintenance after he started both of the past two days.

Rockies' Charlie Blackmon: Sitting Saturday
Rotowire
Blackmon (head) is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Padres.
Blackmon left Friday's 5-2 loss early after being struck in the face with an errant throw from San Diego's Xander Bogaerts, and Blackmon will now take a seat in Saturday's matchup. With left-hander Martin Perez on the mound, it's possible that Blackmon would've taken a seat anyway, so it's unclear if the injury or the matchup is the reason for his absence. Kris Bryant will slot in at designated hitter while Sam Hilliard enters the lineup in right field and bats ninth against San Diego.
