WASHINGTON -- Rockies center fielder Charlie Blackmon tested his right quad running in the Nationals Park outfield Friday evening before Colorado's game against the Nationals.
Though manager Bud Black didn't give a timetable for Blackmon's return, he said the center fielder is more likely to play in a game than go on the disabled list.
"We're encouraged by the process," Black said.
Blackmon has not played since Monday, when he went 1-for-3 with a single and two walks against the Padres. He was scratched from the lineup the following day.
