Padres' Jose Pirela starting, batting third on Thursday

San Diego Padres outfielder Jose Pirela is in the lineup and hitting third against the Washington Nationals on Thursday night.

What It Means:

As the Padres begin their series with the Nationals, Pirela will enter the lineup in place of Dusty Coleman. He will bat third against Edwin Jackson and play left field as Cory Spangenberg transitions to third for this evening's matchup.

At home, Pirela has managed a .344 wOBA and .235 ISO against right-handed pitching this season. Tonight, at $2,900, we project him for 9.6 FanDuel points.
