Charlie Blackmon Returns To Lineup Thursday
2 years agoColorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon is set to return to the lineup after sitting out of Tuesday's contest versus the Los Angeles Dodgers. Blackmon made a pinch-hitting appearance Tuesday but also got Wednesday off as the Rockies were idle. It's been a hot start to the season for the veteran as Blackmon is 7-for-21 (.333) with a homer and a pair of hit-by-pitches across 23 trips to the plate. The 36-year-old has largely managed to stay healthy in recent seasons but is coming off a down season in which he hit .264 with 16 home runs, four steals, and a .733 OPS across 135 games in 2022. He and the Rockies take on the Washington Nationals and young right-hander Josiah Gray in their first home game of the season Thursday afternoon.
