Charlie Blackmon out for Rockies Monday with back injury
Colorado Rockies right fielder Charlie Blackmon is not in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
What It Means:
Blackmon's back locked up on him during a postgame workout Sunday. Rockies manager Bud Black is keeping his "fingers crossed" that Blackmon will avoid a stint on the injured list. Raimel Tapia is starting in right field on Monday, with David Dahl in the leadoff spot.
Blackmon is batting .319/.367/.591 with 21 homers, 26 doubles, 62 RBI, and 77 runs scored in 409 plate appearances this season.
