San Diego Padres infielder Carlos Asuaje is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's road clash with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Asuaje is getting a routine day off, and Yangervis Solarte will slide over to second base while Christian Villanueva draws the start at third base.
Asuaje is slashing .271/.333/.366 with a .308 wOBA through 84 games in 2017. numberFire's models project him to bat only .231 in a small sample over the remainder of the season.
