The Rockies made a few transactions on Monday. First, they placed Charlie Blackmon on the IL with a calf strain. It’s retroactive to Friday, so he’ll be eligible to come back on June 4, when the Rockies start a series against the Cubs at Wrigley Field. Yonathan Daza replaced Blackmon on the 25-man roster. The Rockies also activated Noel Cuevas from the IL and optioned him to Triple-A.
Blackmon sat out a series before going on the IL with a calf injury. That’s part of the good news, as it suggests that he and the Rockies training staff thought he’d come back from it soon.
