Cut loose by Rockies Dahl (shoulder) was non-tendered by the Rockies on Wednesday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Impact On its face, this may seem like a surprise, but Dahl has not only been hurt regularly over his time with Colorado, but he hasn't been that productive recently either. Dahl's wRC+ has declined since his rookie season in 2016, and the 100 games he played in 2019 mark a career high. Without the benefit of Coors Field, his fantasy stock is now at an all-time low. He underwent shoulder surgery in September and his expected to be ready for spring training.

Placed on 45-day injured list Dahl was placed on the 45-day injured list with a right shoulder strain Wednesday.
Impact Dahl wasn't in the lineup over the past two games, and he'll be sidelined for the remainder of the regular season due to his shoulder injury. The 26-year-old only appeared in 24 games during the abbreviated 2020 season while battling injuries, and he struggled while slashing .183/.222/.247 with four extra-base hits and nine RBI. He'll now shift his focus toward preparing for spring training in 2021 while Kevin Pillar and Sam Hilliard could take over in center field over the final several games of the regular season.

Sitting again Tuesday Dahl is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Giants.
Impact Dahl finds himself on the bench again Tuesday and has now started only four of 12 games since returning from the injured list Sept. 9. Kevin Pillar receives another start in center field for the Rockies.

Takes seat Monday Dahl isn't in Monday's lineup against the Giants.
Impact Dahl has alternated starts in each of the last six games, and that trend will continue for the series opener against San Francisco. Kevin Pillar will take over in center field with Sam Hilliard starting in right.

Remains on bench Dahl sits for the second straight game Friday against the Angels.
Impact Dahl returned from a bout of lower-back soreness Wednesday but has been benched in favor of Kevin Pillar for both games thus far. It's possible Dahl isn't yet fully healthy, as both games came against right-handed pitchers. It's also possible that the Rockies simply don't view Dahl as one of their top three outfielders at the moment, as he's hitting just .189/.238/.243 in 80 plate appearances.
SEPTEMBER 11, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Headed to IL Dahl was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with lower-back soreness.
Impact Dahl was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the Astros due to the issue, and it's serious enough to keep him sidelined for at least another 10 days. Sam Hilliard, who started in place of Dahl on Tuesday, is a candidate to fill in for the outfielder, while Brendan Rodgers was recalled from Colorado's alternate camp in a corresponding move. Prior to landing on the IL, Dahl was slashing just .189/.237/.243 with zero home runs and a 4:21 BB:K in 19 games.

Sits again amid slump Dahl is not in Sunday's lineup against the Rangers.

Getting breather Saturday Dahl is not in the starting lineup Saturday as the Rockies take on the Rangers.
Impact Dahl has been hitless over his last four games going 0-for-15 with eight strikeouts and no walks and will receive a routine rest Saturday. Raimel Tapia will serve as the starting centerfielder in Dahl's place.

Tallies two hits Sunday Dahl went 2-for-4 with one RBI and two strikeouts in Sunday's loss to the Mariners.
Impact Dahl has been cold at the plate to begin the season, so manager Bud Black decided to make a change for the team's series against Seattle. After sitting in the series opener, Dahl was removed from his leadoff spot. He went 0-for-3 with a run and one walk Saturday while batting seventh and tallied two hits from the five-hole Sunday. If Dahl is able to turn things around at the plate while batting lower in the order, it's unclear whether he'll return to his spot at the top of the lineup. The 26-year-old carries a .606 OPS with six RBI and 12 strikeouts over his first 14 games this season.
