Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlier Blackmon is out of the lineup on Friday against the San Diego Padres.
It's a routine day off for Blackmon, who will take a seat as Ian Desmond starts over in centerfield. Desmond is batting fifth against southpaw Clayton Richard.
Our models project Blackmon for a .313 batting average, with 3 home runs, 10 RBI, and 12 runs scored over 72 plate appearances remaining this season.
