Productive as leadoff man Joe went 1-for-2 with a double, two walks, two runs and an RBI in Sunday's 8-4 loss to the Diamondbacks. He also reached base when he was hit by a pitch in the bottom of the first... Impact The Rockies haven't missed a beat since Joe stepped in as the team's everyday left fielder and leadoff hitter following Raimel Tapia's placement on the 10-day injured list earlier this month with a strained toe. While assuming table-setting duties in each of the past 12 games, Joe has reached base at a .370 clip while chipping in two home runs, seven runs and six RBI. Tapia is making progress in his recovery and should ramp up baseball activities this week, but since a target date for his return from the IL hasn't been established, Joe should still have a decent amount of leash atop the Colorado lineup.
