Goes yard Friday McMahon went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 11-6 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact He took Trevor Bauer deep in the seventh inning for the second of four Colorado homers in the frame, but the team's offense was otherwise quiet. McMahon started the game at second base before moving to third late in the game as part of a double switch, and his defensive versatility -- as well as the Rockies' lack of established alternatives -- should keep him in the lineup this season against all but the toughest left-handed pitchers.

Not starting Thursday McMahon isn't starting Thursday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact McMahon is expected to see plenty of playing time at second base with Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) sidelined to begin the year, but he'll take a seat on Opening Day with left-hander Clayton Kershaw on the mound for the Dodgers. Chris Owings will play second base Thursday, batting seventh.

Records three hits in win McMahon went 3-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's spring win over the Rangers.

Impact McMahon hit his third Cactus League home run of the year with a solo blast in the first inning to put the Rockies on the board. The 26-year-old has hit .250 with four extra-base hits, four walks, seven RBI, seven runs and eight strikeouts over 15 spring games this year. McMahon should see most of his playing time at third base throughout the regular season but will also be a top option to fill in at second base over the first few weeks of the year while Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) is sidelined.

Homers against San Diego McMahon went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and one strikeout in Wednesday's spring win over the Padres.

Impact McMahon got off to a somewhat slow start to spring training, but he's now hit solo home runs in each of the past two Cactus League matchups. In total, the 26-year-old has gone 4-for-16 with two home runs, one double, four runs, two RBI and two strikeouts across seven spring games. McMahon should serve as the Rockies' primary third baseman to begin the season after Nolan Arenado was traded to the Cardinals during the offseason, but Josh Fuentes could also contend for playing time at the position.

Reaches deal without arbitration McMahon and the Rockies agreed to terms on a one-year, $2.375 million contract Friday, avoiding arbitration, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

Impact McMahon's fantasy value continues to be propped up by the fact that he plays half his games at Coors Field, but he's yet to show much at the plate. He hit just .215/.295/.419 last season while striking out 34.2 percent of the time. It's hard to say he's earned anything close to an everyday role, but that's been true for the past two seasons as well and hasn't stopped the Rockies from pencilling his name into the lineup on most occasions.
