Charlie Blackmon Not In Lineup On Saturday
4 months agoColorado Rockies designated hitter outfielder Charlie Blackmon is not in the lineup for Saturday's matchup against the San Diego Padres. Blackmon exited Friday's game early after being hit in the face on an errant throw from Xander Bogaerts. Manager Bud Black had earlier stated that there's a chance Blackmon could be in tonight's lineup so this would appear that the Rockies are simply being precautious with the 38-year-old. Blackmon has generally been in the lineup as a DH this season, a role that will be filled by Kris Bryant tonight. Along with centerfield staple Brenton Doyle, the Rockies' outfield will consist of Sam Hilliard in right field and Hunter Goodman in left. Neither of Hilliard or Goodman are a good fantasy option, but if DFS players are looking for a lesser owned player that could make an impact then Hilliard would be the choice as his 96 OPS+ is far greater than Goodman's 55 OPS+.
