Ends RBI drought McMahon went 1-for-5 with a triple, two RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Pirates.

Impact McMahon delivered a two-RBI triple in the seventh inning, extending the Rockies' lead to seven runs. Those were his first runs batted in across his last seven games, and he had just two hits across 23 at-bats in that span. McMahon has had a poor start to the season, as he's hitting only .203/.275/.383 across 142 plate appearances. Most concerningly, his strikeout rate has ballooned to 34.5 percent.

Gives Colorado early lead McMahon went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Friday's 4-3 loss against the Phillies.

Impact McMahon smoked a three-run homer off Aaron Nola in the first, marking his fourth long ball of the year, but that was the only offense Colorado could muster against Philadelphia. Through 21 games (81 plate appearances), the third baseman is slashing .250/.321/.500 with 12 RBI, but he's also struck out 27 times.

APRIL 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting at third base again McMahon is making a third straight start at third base Thursday against the Phillies.

Impact Colorado seems underwhelmed by the early defensive play of Elehuris Montero, who is in the DH role Thursday. McMahon could continue to get more looks at his old position, with Alan Trejo benefitting from an uptick in starts at second base.

Blasts homer in loss McMahon went 1-for-4 with a homer in Friday's loss against Washington.

Tallies first homer McMahon went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday against the Padres.

Impact McMahon accounted for the only run Colorado scored Sunday, smacking his first home run of the season in the seventh inning. He's been in the lineup for all four games to start the new campaign and has hit fifth in the lineup when facing right-handed pitchers. McMahon has only three hits through 17 at-bats, though all of them have gone for extra bases. He's also chipped in a stolen base.

Hits sixth against lefty McMahon went 1-for-5 with a double and a stolen base Thursday against the Padres.

Impact McMahon was in the starting lineup and hit sixth even with southpaw Blake Snell on the mound, though it remains to be seen if he'll get regular at-bats without the handedness advantage beyond Opening Day. His production came entirely against righty Domingo Tapia in the sixth inning Thursday, when he hit a double with no outs but was ultimately stranded at third. When Colorado faces right-handed starters, McMahon is expected to hit third in the order.

Likely to hit third McMahon is likely to hit third in the Rockies' lineup to begin the season, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.

Impact The Rockies have shown significant belief in McMahon, as they signed him to a lucrative six-year, $70 million contract entering the 2022 season. He's coming off a disappointing campaign during which he maintained only a 95 wRC+ across 597 plate appearances, but the club still has high expectations for him. If McMahon continues to struggle with the bat, he'll likely slip down the order as the season progresses, but he'll begin with a strong opportunity to rack up both RBI and runs.

Expected to move to second base McMahon is expected to move to second base for the Rockies in the wake of the Brendan Rodgers (shoulder) injury, general manager Bill Schmidt told Joel Sherman of the New York Post...

Impact There's no official word yet on whether Rodgers will need season-ending surgery to repair his left shoulder, but things appear to be trending in that direction. As a result, McMahon will shift to second base, a position at which he has plenty of experience. Regaining eligibility at another relatively weak fantasy position is a boon to his value. Schmidt added that the team would look at Nolan Jones and Elehuris Montero at third base with McMahon on the move. Kris Bryant is expected to still see the bulk of his time in the outfield.

Playing second base Friday McMahon is starting at second base and batting fifth for the Rockies on Friday in their Cactus League game versus the Giants, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact It's possible McMahon will move over to second base full-time in 2023 with Brendan Rodgers (shoulder) potentially out for the season. The Rockies don't seem set on a plan yet, though, or perhaps they're just waiting for official word on Rodgers before revealing anything. If McMahon does slide over to the keystone, Elehuris Montero and Nolan Jones could get a look at third base, with Kris Bryant moving back to the dirt also a possibility. If McMahon stays at third, Alan Trejo and Harold Castro would represent options at second.
