Cory Spangenberg hitting second Tuesday for Padres

San Diego Padres infielder Cory Spangenberg is batting second on Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

What It Means:

Derek Norris hit there in Monday's opener but will drop to the fifth spot Tuesday versus Dodgers left-hander Scott Kazmir. Spangenberg had a big spring and could provide good value in DFS games when he bats high in the Padres' lineup. He's a borderline guy in season-long leagues.

Spangenberg went hitless with a strikeout in his three appearances at the plate in the opener on Monday. Our models project him to steal 13 bases this season while recording a .255/.313/.364 slash.
