Matt Szczur returns to Padres' bench on Thursday

San Diego Padres outfielder Matt Szczur is on the club's bench for Thursday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

What It Means:

Manuel Margot will be back in center and leading off on Thursday, so Szczur will go back to a bench role as his team battles Lance Lynn and the Cardinals.

After an 0-for-3 night, Szczur is now hitting .227 on the year. He's projected for just 1 home run, 4 RBI and a .241 average in 33 plate appearances the rest of the way.
