McMahon is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies.

Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Leaves yard again Sunday
Rotowire
McMahon went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, two walks and three runs scored in Sunday's win over the Padres.
McMahon capped off his strong weekend with a solo home run in the eighth to extend the Rockies lead. He's now homered four times this month and has raised his OPS to .736 after posting a .508 OPS in March/April. In his last seven games, McMahon is hitting .500/.607/1.091 with a 6:5 BB:K. He's notoriously been more effective in Denver and will aim to keep his hot bat going this week despite the Rockies having all their games on the road.

Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Stays hot
Rotowire
McMahon went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and three runs scored Friday against the Padres.

Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Heating up at plate
Rotowire
McMahon went 4-for-4 with a home run, two doubles, a walk, two total runs and two total RBI in Wednesday's extra-inning loss to the Tigers.
McMahon and Michael Toglia teamed up to notch all six of the Rockies' extra-base hits Wednesday, though the pair's performance wasn't enough to upset Detroit. McMahon endured an awful start to the season, batting just .147 with a mere four RBI over 29 games through the end of April. However, the veteran third baseman has begun to turn things around in May -- he's hit safely and driven in at least one run in four of five contests this month, and he's notched five extra-base hits (two doubles, a triple and two homers) in that span.

Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Gets back into RBI column
Rotowire
McMahon went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's win over the Giants.
It was a much-needed homer for McMahon, who hadn't recorded an RBI since April 9. During this time, the defensive-minded third baseman has gone a miserable 5-for-65 (.077) with two doubles and seven runs scored over 19 games. McMahon's defensive acumen should keep him in an everyday role at the hot corner, but he's difficult to justify as a fantasy option until he strings together some better performances.

Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Drills first homer of campaign
Rotowire
McMahon went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Saturday in a loss to the Athletics.
McMahon cut Colorado's deficit to three runs with an eighth-inning solo shot to center field, but that was the final run scored by either team. The long ball was the first of the season for the veteran third baseman, who has slugged between 20 and 24 homers each of the past five full seasons (excluding the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign). McMahon's two-hit effort Saturday was his first multi-hit performance since he went 3-for-3 on Opening Day.

Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Reaches base four times in loss
Rotowire
McMahon went 3-for-3 with a double, two singles and a walk in a 3-2 loss to the Rays on Friday.
The third baseman was a problem for Tampa pitching and should benefit from hitting behind Brenton Doyle and Ezequiel Tovar in the Colorado lineup. McMahon has hit 20-plus homers every year since 2019 -- except for the pandemic-shortened 2020 season in which he hit nine in 52 games.

Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Swats decisive homer
Rotowire
McMahon went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 3-2 win against Miami.
McMahon had the only extra-base hit by either team in the contest, and it was a big one, as his sixth-inning, 438-foot solo shot broke a 2-2 tie and ended up providing the decisive margin of victory. The long ball snapped a 20-game homerless streak for the infielder, and he had batted a meager .155 with a 31.3 percent strikeout rate during the power drought. McMahon now has 17 home runs overall this season, putting him on pace to reach the 20-homer mark for the fourth consecutive campaign.

Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Hitting bench Wednesday
Rotowire
McMahon is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.
With the Rockies and Diamondbacks concluding their series with a day game after a night game and with a southpaw (Jordan Montgomery) on the hill for Arizona, the lefty-hitting McMahon will be given a breather. McMahon had a pair of two-hit games against Atlanta over the weekend but has fallen back into his post-All-Star-break lull at the plate so far in Arizona, as he went 0-for-8 with four strikeouts through the first two games of the series. He's now batting just .119 with a 32.1 percent strikeout rate in the second half.

Rotowire

The infielder has gone 15 games without a multi-hit effort, batting a poor .170 in that span, though he has drawn 11 walks. For the season, he's at a .262/.348/.440 slash line with 16 homers, 50 RBI, 51 runs scored, 21 doubles and three stolen bases over 104 contests. After staying put at the trade deadline, McMahon should continue to occupy a starting role in the heart of the lineup.
