Colorado Rockies: Charlie Blackmon scratched from the starting lineup

Just about an hour and a half prior to the start of tonight’s game against the San Diego Padres, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reported that Colorado Rockies center fielder Charlie Blackmon was scratched from the starting lineup due to right quad tightness.

As a result, Rockies manager Bud Black inserted Mike Tauchman into Blackmon’s spot defensively.

Mike Tauchman gets the start in Blackmon's place. New lineup coming soon.

Additionally, the lineup order is changed a bit with Blackmon being scratched.
