Charlie Blackmon on Rockies' bench Thursday afternoon
Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Ian Anderson and the Atlanta Braves.
What It Means:
The Rockies appear to be giving Blackmon a routine breather. Sam Hilliard is covering right field while Raimel Tapia returns to the lineup to play left field and bat leadoff.
numberFire’s models project Tapia for 10.9 FanDuel points and he has a $2,700 salary on Thursday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Rockies have an implied total of 3.5 runs. Anderson is registering a 23.0 strikeout percentage and a 10.1 walk percentage this season, with a 4.38 xERA and a .318 xwOBA.
