A matchup against Phillies premier left-hander Cole Hamels has Rockies leadoff hitter and center fielder Charlie Blackmon grabbing some pine Friday night.
Brandon Barnes is set to take over both those spots.
Blackmon is just 8-for-51 against southpaws this season and hitless in four at-bats lifetime against Hamels.
This will mark only his fourth absence from the lineup this season.
