Jose Pirela absent from second game of Padres' doubleheader

San Diego Padres second baseman/outfielder Jose Pirela is sitting out Game 2 of a Saturday doubleheader against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

What It Means:

For the nightcap, Pirela will have a seat on the bench, as Allen Cordoba takes over in left field. Cordoba is hitting seventh against Yu Darvish.

Our models project Pirela for a .271 batting average, with 2 home runs, 8 RBI, and 7 runs scored over 65 plate appearances remaining this season.
