San Diego Padres infielder Christian Villanueva is not in the starting lineup on Thursday.
Villanueva will trade places with Jose Pirela, who enters the lineup at second base, for the day. Cory Spangenberg will slide over to third base.
Our models project Villanueva to bat .239 with 7 home runs, 17 runs, and 20 RBI in 147 more plate appearances this season.
