San Diego Padres infielder Cory Spangenberg is now in the starting lineup against the Colorado Rockies. He will bat seventh.
He will replace Christian Villanueva, who is a late scratch due to hamstring soreness.
Spangenberg is 1-for-6 in his career against Rockies starter Chad Bettis, but he has a .316 AVG, .579 SLG, and three home runs in 61 Coors Field plate appearances over the past three seasons. We project him for 9.1 FanDuel points tonight.
