Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon (back) is still dealing with a sore back and won't play in Cactus League games this weekend. It's starting to become a concern for Blackmon, as he's already missed a week of spring games due to the injury. There's still time for him to return and get himself ready for Opening Day at the end of this month, but he's starting to run out of time. The 36-year-old left-handed hitter's fantasy stock is on the decline as he heads into his 13th MLB season for the Rockies. He hit .264/.314/.419 with a .733 OPS, 16 home runs, 78 RBI, 60 runs scored and four stolen bases in 577 plate appearances and 135 games in 2022. At this point, Blackmon is becoming a streamer for when he plays his home games at hitter-friendly Coors Field.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon (back) was forced to exit early during Friday's Spring Training contest. Luckily, the veteran outfielder says he's fine and dealing with some back stiffness. It sounds like Blackmon is day-to-day, but has avoided any serious injuries. The 36-year-old should still have a little left in the tank after another decent season in Colorado last year. The left-handed slugger should be able to provide decent fantasy value as long as he can stay healthy.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon told reporters on Friday that he intends to exercise his $18 million player option for the 2023 season. Blackmon went on to state that he is not thinking beyond the 2023 campaign at the moment. The veteran outfielder went on the injured list earlier in the week with a knee injury that ended his 2022 season. Blackmon is 36 now, but he still showed he has some gas left in the tank as he hit .264 with 16 homers, 78 RBI, 60 runs, and four steals across 135 games played.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list with a torn meniscus in his left knee. He will miss the rest of the season. The 36-year-old slashed .264/.314/.419 with 16 home runs, 78 RBI, 60 runs, and four stolen bases over 577 plate appearances in 135 games in 2022. There is no timetable for his recovery, but he is expected to return when Spring Training starts next season. Michael Toglia and Yonathan Daza should see an uptick in at-bats while Blackmon is sidelined.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon (hamstring) is serving as the designated hitter and is batting cleanup on Tuesday against the San Francisco Giants and right-hander Logan Webb. Blackmon was forced from Sunday's game early against the San Diego Padres with left hamstring soreness, but he will end up not missing a game after Monday's off day. The 36-year-old veteran outfielder has been cold in the month of September, going 16-for-74 (.216) with no homers, seven RBI, three runs scored and 20 strikeouts in 20 games. However, he's been better recently, going 11-for-33 (.333) with three RBI and two runs scored in nine games since Sept. 17.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon is not in the starting lineup on Friday against the Chicago Cubs. Blackmon will take a seat after going 5-for-41 (.122) with no homers, four RBI, one run scored and 13 strikeouts in 11 games to begin the month of September. He's now hitting .258/.308/.412 on the year with 16 homers, 74 RBI, 57 runs scored and three stolen base in 493 at-bats. With Blackmon resting, Michael Toglia is in right field and hitting sixth, while Connor Joe will serve as the designated hitter and bat seventh against Cubs right-hander Marcus Stroman. Toglia, a 24-year-old rookie switch-hitter, has gone just 11-for-50 (.220) with two long balls and eight RBI in his first 14 big-league games for the Rockies.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon is on the bench for Wednesday's matchup with the Texas Rangers and left-handed starter Martin Perez. The veteran is enjoying a solid season at the plate, batting .270 with a .321 on-base percentage, 16 home runs, and three stolen bases in 478 plate appearances. The Rockies will start Connor Joe, Wynton Bernard, and Randal Grichuk from left to right in the outfield against Perez. Joe is hitting leadoff while Grichuk and Bernard are batting fifth and ninth, respectively.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup on Friday against the San Francisco Giants. Blackmon will take a seat after leaving Thursday's game early against the St. Louis Cardinals with a hamstring injury that isn't believed to be serious. The 36-year-old could be right back in there as soon as Saturday. Randal Grichuk is starting in right field with Blackmon out, and he'll hit cleanup in the batting order against Giants left-hander Alex Wood. Grichuk is an intriguing DFS option on Friday. He's gone 16-for-42 (.381) with two home runs in five RBI in the last two weeks. Grichuk is also hitting .313 (41-for-131) with six of his 12 home runs against left-handers in 2022.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon isn't expected to land on the injured list after exiting Thursday's game with a hamstring issue. Manager Bud Black told Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post that the veteran will be okay in a couple of days. This comment casts doubt on Blackmon's availability for Friday, but he could be back in the lineup as soon as this coming weekend. The 34-year-old went 1-for-1 with a single on Thursday and has now logged a base hit in six of his last seven games. Expect Connor Joe to fill Blackmon's spot in the lineup for the duration of his absence.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon went 2-for-6 with two runs and three RBI in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. One of his hits was a two-run shot off of Corbin Burnes. The 36-year-old Blackmon has rebounded after two subpar seasons in 2020 and 2021. Over 84 games, he's slashing .278/.326/.482 with 15 HRs, 49 runs, 57 RBI, and two stolen bases. Blackmon has contributed in every category and enough to justify fantasy managers starting him in most leagues.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against left-hander Tyler Anderson and the Los Angeles Dodgers. The game marks the return of fellow outfielder Kris Bryant (back), who will be batting third and covering left field. Blackmon has been productive at the plate in June. He's slashing .286/.317/.510 with five home runs, 17 RBI and 13 runs over 23 games this month. He hit just 13 home runs over 150 games last year, but he's on pace to demolish that total this year as he already had 12 homers across 65 games.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon had three hits in five at-bats on Thursday during the 4-2 win against the San Francisco Giants. He had two doubles and also scored a run. The contest raised Blackmon's batting average to .260, and he has nine home runs, 30 RBI, 27 runs, and one stolen base as well across 51 games. Although the 35-year-old plays his home games at Coors Field, he's actually playing better on the road, batting .290 outside of Colorado. Blackmon's rosterable in every format, but there are better starting options in shallower leagues.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon is absent from the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the New York Mets. C.J. Cron will be slotting in as the team's designated hitter, while Randal Grichuk will be in right field. Blackmon is slashing just .167/.231/.300 so far in May. On the bright side, we've seen some better power numbers from the veteran this year than we did last year. He only hit 13 home runs over 150 games in 2021. Through 34 games this year, he's already launched six home runs.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon helped lead the team to a 6-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Sunday. He went 4-for-5 with a double, a stolen base, two RBI and two runs scored. Blackmon entered the game with a .227 batting average and a .715 OPS. However, after his big game, he's now slashing .286/.352/.469 on the year, giving him a much more appealing .821 OPS. The 35-year-old has two home runs so far this year, which is an encouraging sign as he managed just 13 home runs over 150 games last year.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers. Left-hander Tarik Skubal will be on the mound for the Tigers. The left-handed Blackmon hasn't had a history of bad splits against lefties, but this year, he's slashing just .143/.200/.143 against southpaws while he's hitting .269/.367/.462 against righties. Right-hander Yonathan Daza is getting the start in center field for Game 1 on Saturday. He'll be batting ninth in the lineup. Expect to see Blackmon back in action for Game 2 of the doubleheader with right-hander Beau Brieske on the mound for the Detroit Tigers, making his MLB debut.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon finally got on the home run board in Monday's 4-1 win over the Phillies, going 1-for-2 with a solo shot and a walk. Blackmon got the Rockies on the board in the sixth inning by taking an Aaron Nola fastball into the center-field bullpen. Despite the excitement, the veteran is slashing just .212/.297/.364 with four RBI in his first 38 plate appearances. Blackmon has seen his power production decline over the past couple of seasons, but he has always been a good source of average, RBI, and runs scored. Hopefully, he can use the remainder of this home series to get things going before the Rockies head to the road for several series.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon exercised his $21 million-plus player option on Thursday and will return to the team for the 2022 season. Blackmon has another player option coming in 2023 and has been with the team for the last 11 seasons after being drafted in 2008. The veteran outfielder started off last season slow, but he ended up finishing the year with a .270 batting average and 13 home runs while staying healthy for 582 plate appearances over 150 games. Blackmon now ranks second on the franchise's all-time list in games played (1,269) and hits (1,450), while he's seventh in home runs (191). With baseball expected to adopt a universal designated hitter next year, Blackmon will be a candidate to serve as the Rockies DH most nights.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon is absent from the starting lineup for the team's season finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday. Sam Hilliard is getting the start in right field for the game. It was a disappointing season for the 35-year-old veteran. Over 149 games, he slashed .269/.349/.409 with 13 home runs, 78 RBI and 76 runs. He had a .286 xBA on the year, which ranked in the 92nd percentile, and suggests that he may have had some bad luck this year. However, he's clearly not the same fantasy asset he was in his prime any longer.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon will be on the bench for Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals and left-hander Patrick Corbin. Blackmon is hitting .270 with a .347 on-base percentage, 13 home runs, and three stolen bases in 567 plate appearances this season. It'll be Yonathan Daza starting in right field in place of Blackmon and batting seventh. The 27-year-old is hitting .282 with a .329 on-base percentage, two home runs, and two stolen bases in 321 plate appearances this season. You're probably better off looking elsewhere for streaming help on Tuesday.
