19 Charlie Blackmon CF

Blackmon went 1-for-3 with two walks, a double and two RBI in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Giants.

The 31-year-old has faded a bit towards the end of a long campaign, but it's a testament to how good he's been in 2017 that a .273/.377/.500 slash line in September is considered any kind of slump. Blackmon should remain a fixture at the top of the Rockies lineup down the stretch as they try to lock up a wild-card spot.

Blackmon went 2-for-4 with a double, a three-run home run, four RBI and two runs scored during Saturday's win over San Diego.

After receiving a breather Friday, Blackmon returned to the lineup with a bang Saturday. He's now up to 35 homers, 93 RBI, 13 stolen bases and 131 runs with a .333/.398/.612 slash line for the season. It's definitely worth noting the impact Coors Field provides, though, as Blackmon sports a mediocre .792 OPS on the road.

Blackmon is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Padres, Jenny Cavnar of AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain reports.

Blackmon tallied just one hit in 18 at-bats over his last five games, so manager Bud Black decided it was time to give him his first day off since June 17 -- a span of 76 games. Ian Desmond will man center field Friday in Blackmon's place.

Blackmon went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 11-3 loss to the Giants.

It's his third homer and fourth multi-hit performance in the last week, and Blackmon has already established new career highs in every major offensive category except steals with 23 games left on the Rockies' schedule. The 31-year-old will be hard to ignore in the first round of fantasy drafts in 2018.

Blackmon went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Tigers.

His sixth-inning blast was the only run allowed by Justin Verlander. Blackmon now has 32 homers on the year, establishing a new career high to go along with personal bests in RBI (84), runs (120), triples (14) and walks (51) -- and it's not even the end of August yet.
