Christian Villanueva (hamstring) a late scratch from Padres' lineup
San Diego Padres third baseman Christian Villanueva was scratched from Monday's lineup with a sore hamstring.
Villanueva was scheduled to hit cleanup and handle third base but now Cory Spangenberg will man the hot corner, and bat seventh, while Jose Pirela moves into the cleanup spot versus the Colorado Rockies. Villanueva is available to pinch-hit if needed on Monday.
Villanueva has gotten off to a hot start, batting .355 with a .514 wOBA and 7 homers in 72 plate appearances this season.
