Christian Villanueva starting for Padres on Sunday

San Diego Padres third baseman Christian Villanueva is starting on Sunday against the Colorado Rockies.

What It Means:

Villanueva will start at third base and bat fifth versus Rockies right-hander German Marquez. Cory Spangenberg will move to left field and Travis Jankowski will slide over to right while Hunter Renfroe grabs a seat on the Padres' bench.

The Padres have a low implied total (4.11 runs) on Sunday, so they might not offer a ton of fantasy upside. Villanueva is averaging 9.4 FanDuel points per game this season (6 games).
