Rockies' Jake Cave: Taking seat Thursday
Cave is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Marlins.
After starting in each of the Rockies' last five games while going 8-for-20 with three extra-base knocks, Cave will take a seat for the series finale. With Cave and Charlie Blackmon on the bench Thursday, Nolan Jones will serve as the Rockies' designated hitter, while Colorado runs out a starting outfield of Jordan Beck, Brenton Doyle and Sam Hilliard from left to right.

Rockies' Jake Cave: Getting fifth straight start
Cave will start in right field and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Marlins.
When Nolan Jones returned from the injured list Aug. 18, Jordan Beck appeared to have supplanted Cave for a regular role in the corner outfield, but the Rockies have since turned back to Cave as their preferred option versus right-handed pitching. He'll draw a fifth consecutive start after going 8-for-17 with a home run, two doubles, five RBI and three runs over the previous four contests.

Rockies' Jake Cave: Monster effort in win
Cave went 4-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Yankees.
Cave was perfect at the plate, and a triple away from the cycle, before striking out in his final at-bat in the ninth inning. The 31-year-old continues to sit against left-handed pitching, but he has tallied three multi-hit efforts, three long balls and nine RBI over his past 10 games. On the year, he is hitting .262 with seven home runs, 34 RBI, 35 runs scored and five steals across 274 plate appearances.

Rockies' Jake Cave: Sitting again Wednesday
Cave is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
The lefty-hitting Cave is on the bench for the third straight game, with the latter two absences coming against left-handed pitching. Even though Kris Bryant (back) recently returned to the injured list to open up a regular spot in right field, Cave may not be on track to handle a strong-side platoon role as the Rockies give a longer look to rookie Jordan Beck. Cave has been serviceable against right-handed pitching this season (96 wRC+, .324 wOBA), but he's a 31-year-old on an expiring contract who is unlikely to be prioritized by the non-contending Rockies down the stretch.

Rockies' Jake Cave: Idle against southpaw
Cave is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Rockies' Jake Cave: Sparks rally with homer
Cave went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 9-8 win over Atlanta.
Cave's blast in the eighth inning sparked a seven-run comeback for the Rockies. The outfielder has tapped into his power this month, going 7-for-28 (.250) with three homers and nine RBI over nine contests in August. For the season, he has a .251/.296/.389 slash line with six homers, 31 RBI, 32 runs scored and four stolen bases over 96 games. All of those marks represent his best production since 2019.

Rockies' Jake Cave: Hitting bench against southpaw
Cave is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.
The lefty-hitting Cave will hit the bench for the series finale while the Mets send southpaw David Peterson to the hill. Cave looks to be secure in a strong-side platoon role in the Colorado outfield for the time being, but he'll see his opportunities to start against right-handed pitching take a hit once Nolan Jones (back) returns from the injured list. Jones hasn't appeared in any rehab games since last Saturday following the birth of his child, but he's expected to rejoin Triple-A Albuquerque in the coming days before eventually getting activated.

Rockies' Jake Cave: Hits go-ahead homer
Cave went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Mets.
Cave's fourth-inning blast off Luis Severino was enough for the Rockies to secure the win. This was Cave's second homer in his last five games, but he's gone 15 contests without a multi-hit effort, batting a paltry .189 (10-for-53) in that span. For the season, the outfielder is at a .247/.291/.374 slash line with five homers, 27 RBI, 31 runs scored and four stolen bases over 92 contests in his first year with Colorado.

Rockies' Jake Cave: Game-tying homer in ninth
Cave went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Thursday's extra-inning win over the Angels.
Cave went down on strikes in two of his first three at-bats before launching a two-run shot in the top of the ninth to tie the game at 4-4. It marked the outfielder's fourth long ball since the start of July and he's now hit safely in eight of his last nine starts. Still, he's batting just .222 (8-for-36) over that stretch with no multi-hit performances. Cave has also struck out twice in four of his last five contests.

Rockies' Jake Cave: Productive start to second half
Cave went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and a stolen base Sunday against the Giants.
Cave has served in a large-side platoon role for much of the last two months, and he's maintained a .258 batting average for the season. His production has otherwise been mostly empty, though he went yard Friday as a pinch hitter to tally his third home run and also recorded his fourth stolen base of the year Sunday.

Cave went 1-for-3 with a solo homer in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Brewers.

It was the outfielder's first home run of the campaign, and he's now hit safely in two of his last three games to open the month of July. Over that brief stretch he's batting .455 (5-for-11) with two RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base.

Rockies' Jake Cave: Sitting against righty
Cave is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.
The lefty-hitting Cave had started in right field or left field in each of the last five games -- all against right-handed pitchers -- but he'll take a seat Sunday while southpaw Garrett Crochet takes the hill.

Rockies' Jake Cave: Gains regular spot in lineup vs. RHPs
Cave will start in right field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Astros.
The lefty-hitting Cave looks to have moved into a strong-side platoon role in the Colorado outfield. He'll pick up a start in the outfield Wednesday for the Rockies' eighth straight matchup with a right-handed starting pitcher. The 31-year-old owns a .250/.303/.326 slash line with no home runs and two stolen bases over 145 plate appearances on the season, so he'll likely struggle to deliver much meaningful fantasy value even if he continues to see steady playing time versus righties.
