David Dahl has resumed taking batting practice this week. He's been sidelined by a rib injury since the spring. (Thomas Harding on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Dahl appears to be making progress toward a return, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him sent on a minor league rehab assignment sooner than later. Still, considering the bevy of options the Rockies have on their roster between the OF and 1B (Carlos Gonzalez, Charlie Blackmon, Ian Desmond, Gerardo Parra, Mark Reynolds), the team will likely take it's time with Dahl. He flashed his upside in 2016 and should see a regular role in Colorado's OF in 2018, but his role this season remains too be determined.
