Charlie Blackmon Close To Returning To Lineup
4 years agoColorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon (groin) suffered a mild groin strain in Friday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. He hasn't start in any of the team's three games since, but according to Rockies manager Bud Black, Blackmon was nearly inserted into the lineup for Monday's game against the San Diego Padres. Blackmon came on as a pinch-hitter in both Saturday's game and Sunday's game. Add those two appearances with the fact that he was nearly in Monday's lineup and it seems safe to expect he'll be part of Tuesday's lineup as the team faces Blake Snell and the Padres.
