Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Getting regular at-bats

Goodman went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Friday against the Nationals.

Goodman was in the lineup for the sixth time in the last seven games -- three of which have come at catcher -- due to the absences of Elias Diaz (calf) and Charlie Blackmon (hamstring). He's gone 7-for-25 in that span while also popping four homers. Neither Blackmon nor Diaz have a clear timeline to return, meaning Goodman should continue to play regularly in the short term, perhaps even enough behind the plate to gain catcher eligibility.
