Fernando Tatis Jr.

SD Right Fielder #23

Fernando Tatis Jr. is out of the lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Rangers.

Sung-Mun Song gets the nod at the keystone with red-hot Samad Taylor in right field for Sunday afternoon’s showdown at Globe Life Field. It’s the first day off for Tatis since May 3. The 27-year-old fantasy standout has experienced a tumultuous season at the dish, putting it mildly, but he’s shown some real signs of life recently, hitting .329 (24-for-73) with one homer and four steals in 17 games since the start of June.
Xander Bogaerts

SD Shortstop #2

Xander Bogaerts finished 0-for-4 in his third straight hitless game Tuesday versus the Cardinals.

Bogaerts didn’t miss any starts after leaving Saturday’s game following a beaning, but he’s 0-for-10 since the incident. Of course, it might just be a coincidence. He’d previously opened June with five straight hitless games, and he’s now 4-for-37 for the month.
Xander Bogaerts

SD Shortstop #2

Xander Bogaerts exited Saturday’s game against the Orioles in the sixth, one inning after he was hit on the helmet by a pitch.

Bogaerts was able to shake it off initially after getting hit by a 94-mph fastball, but Sung-Mon Song then replaced him at shortstop. He’s likely day-to-day.

SD Shortstop #2

Padres activated INF Xander Bogaerts from the paternity list.

He should be back in the Padres lineup tonight against the Orioles. Fantasy managers in daily transaction leagues can put him back in their lineups as well.

SD Shortstop #2

Padres placed INF Xander Bogaerts on the paternity list.

Bogaerts will be away from the Padres for up to three days. The 33-year-old will be replaced on the roster by Will Wagner.
Ramón Laureano

SD Left Fielder #5

Ramón Laureano is not in the Padres’ starting lineup for Sunday afternoon’s battle against the Nationals.

It appears to be nothing more than a routine day of rest for the 31-year-old outfielder. Fernando Tatis Jr. will move out to right field to cover for him while Sung-Mun Song will draw a start at second base and bat eighth against Zack Littell and the Nationals.
Sung-Mun Song

SD 2nd Baseman #24

Sung-Mun Song singled and knocked in one of the Padres’ two runs Friday against the Mariners.

The RBI came on a groundout in the seventh, making in a 2-0 game. Song had a basehit earlier, though, and he had a nice drive to the warning track for a flyout in the ninth. If only the game had been played in GABP or Yankee Stadium, rather than Petco, that might have been good for his first MLB home run. Song is batting .176/.300/.235 through his first 20 plate appearances.
Jackson Merrill

SD Center Fielder #3

Jackson Merrill is not in the starting lineup for Thursday’s game against the Brewers.

It appears to be just a routine recovery day for Merrill, who is hitting a rough .215/.287/.342 in his first 41 games of the season with four homers and eight stolen bases. He’ll sit against LHP Kyle Harrison and the Padres will send Bryce Johnson out in his stead in center field while bumping Xander Bogaerts further up the order.
Sung-Mun Song

SD 3rd Baseman #24

Sung-Mun Song will start at shortstop and bat ninth against the Giants on Wednesday.

Song went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI, and two runs scored in his MLB debut on Tuesday. He has now started two straight games with Jake Cronenworth on the concussion-IL. Song was hitting .293/.364/.354 in 110 plate appearances at Triple-A with one home run, one steal, and a 27/11 K/BB ratio. There is a window for him to earn playing time if he can produce while Cronenworth is out.
Xander Bogaerts

SD Shortstop #2

Xander Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI to power the Padres to a 10-5 win over the Giants on Tuesday.

Bogaerts put the Padres on the board with a solo homer off Logan Webb in the second inning. He later plated a second run on a groundout in the fourth, drew a walk in the fifth, and ended his day with a single in the ninth. The 33-year-old shortstop is hitting .270/.352/.429 with six homers, 16 runs scored, 20 RBI, and four steals across 142 plate appearances.

Jung Hoo Lee is absent from the Giants’ starting lineup for Thursday’s series opener against the Rockies.

Lee has been in a bit of a funk at the plate, going just 7-for-44 with one extra-base hit over his last 12 games, so the Giants will give him a night off to clear his head. Drew Gilbert will start in his place in center field and will bat eighth for the Giants against Ryan Feltner and the Rockies.

Manny Machado (foot) returned to the Padres’ starting lineup for Thursday night’s showdown against the Diamondbacks.

The superstar third baseman was held out of action on Wednesday due to soreness in his foot after fouling a ball off of it during Tuesday’s game. It appears all is good now though, as he’s right back at the hot corner and batting cleanup against Diamondbacks’ right-hander Merrill Kelly on Thursday evening in San Diego.

Brebbia elected free agency last weekend rather than accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Albuquerque, but after exploring his options on the open market, the veteran right-hander decided that his best opportunity was to remain with the Rockies. The 36-year-old has compiled a 10.38 ERA and 1.62 WHIP over 4 1/3 frames in his three outings with the big league club this season.

Zack Gelof was removed from Thursday night’s battle against the Tigers in the third inning after injuring his knee while crashing into the outfield wall.

Gelof made a terrific sliding catch running down the third base line, but slid into the side wall as he did and came up hobbling. He tried to walk it off and remain in the game but ultimately the decision was made to pull him. Gelof will head for further evaluation. Expect the A’s to provide an update on his status after the game.
