Will Middlebrooks (ankle) remains out of Padres lineup
Despite being able to pinch hit last night, Will Middlebrooks will sit again today with an ankle injury. The switch hitting Yangervis Solarte will start at third base and bat fifth.
What It Means:
Middlebrooks owns the worst wOBA among all qualified third basemen at .272, so anyone should be an upgrade. Solarte went 1-for-3 last night filling in at third base with a double and a walk. He faces Taijuan Walker of the Mariners today, who keeps lefties at bay with a .309 wOBA.
