San Diego Padres catcher Austin Hedges will take a breather on Thursday against the St. Louis Cardinals.
It is Luis Torrens' turn behind the plate, as he'll serve as Luis Perdomo's backstop. Torrens is hitting eighth against Carlos Martinez.
Our models project Hedges for a .232 batting average, with 3 home runs, 10 RBI, and 9 runs scored over 89 plate appearances remaining this season.
