Carlos Asuaje

Carlos Asuaje absent from Padres' lineup on Sunday

San Diego Padres second baseman Carlos Asuaje is not in the lineup Sunday against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

What It Means:

Asuaje will head to the bench Sunday with Jose Pirela moving in to play second base. Manuel Margot is also back in the lineup playing centerfield and hitting against right-hander Ross Stripling.

Our models project Asuaje for a .252 batting average with 5 home runs, 30 runs scored, and 30 RBI over 335 plate appearances remaining this season.
