Charlie Blackmon, who was placed on the injured list on May 27 (retroactive to May 24) with a right calf strain, has been rumored to be ready to return to the Colorado Rockies lineup on Tuesday in Chicago. However, Bud Black said on Sunday that that would not be the case.
“No,” Black said when he was asked if Blackmon would be ready on Tuesday. That game in Chicago marks the first return for the Rockies to Wrigley Field since Colorado knocked off the Cubs in the National League Wild Card Game in a 2-1, 13-inning victory.
