Miguel Andujar - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Back to bench Friday Andujar is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

Impact Andujar will not make the start against right-hander Jose Soriano, as Ty France is getting the nod at first base, with Nick Castellanos at designated hitter. Andujar has been out of the lineup four of the last five games for the Padres.

Sitting again Wednesday Andujar is not in the Padres' starting lineup against the Mariners on Wednesday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Riding pine Tuesday Andujar isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus Seattle.

Impact Andujar owns a .967 OPS across 27 plate appearances since April 1, but he'll now retreat to the bench for a second consecutive game. His absence will put Gavin Sheets in the DH spot while Ty France starts at first base.

Heading to bench Sunday Andujar is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Impact After occupying the designated-hitter spot in the previous two games, Andujar will cede those duties to Nick Castellanos in the series finale. The two players are continuing to form a timeshare at DH, with Andujar (.782 OPS in 40 plate appearances) having thus far outperformed Castellanos (.617 OPS in 34 plate appearances).

Taking seat Thursday Andujar isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against Colorado.

Impact Andujar has gone 7-for-17 during the five games he's played since the start of April, but the Padres will keep him on the bench to begin Thursday's contest. Nick Castellanos will start as the designated hitter and bat seventh.

Back to bench Monday Andujar is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Andujar went a collective 4-for-11 with a pair of extra-base hits, a walk and two runs while occupying the designated-hitter spot in each of the Padres' last three games, but he'll take a seat in the series opener in Pittsburgh. Though Nick Castellanos will serve as the team's DH on Monday, he's managed a lowly .485 OPS through 17 plate appearances this season and could cede more opportunities to Andujar if he's unable to get going at the dish.

Records three hits in victory Andujar went 3-for-5 with a double and run scored in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Red Sox.

Impact Andujar got the start at designated hitter and hit third against lefty Connelly Early and was the only Padres player to record multiple hits Saturday. He doubled in the third inning and later scored on a Freddy Fermin double. Andujar is now slashing .300/.333/.450 with three extra-base hits, two RBI and two runs scored across 21 trips to the plate this season. With left-hander Ranger Suarez starting for the Red Sox on Sunday, Andujar should be in the lineup.

Not starting Wednesday Andujar is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.

Impact Andujar and Nick Castellanos shared the designated-hitter spot through the first five games, but neither player will be in the lineup Wednesday. Ramon Laureano will receive a day off from playing the outfield, but he'll stay in the starting nine at DH while Bryce Johnson takes his spot on defense. Andujar has struggled out of the gate thus far gone 2-for-12 with a walk and two RBI, so he'll need to raise his production in order to gain traction in the everyday lineup.

Out of lineup againt right-hander Andujar is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants.

Impact Andujar started at designated hitter in each of the first two games of the season versus lefties. However, he's now sat two straight against righties in favor of Nick Castellanos. It's too soon to know how exactly the playing time between the two players will shake out, but early indications are that Castellanos is the preferred guy against right-handed pitching.

Moving to bench Saturday Andujar isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers.

Impact After going 1-for-7 with an RBI and a walk through the first two games of the year, Andujar will get a breather during the series finale. Nick Castellanos will fill in as the Padres' designated hitter and bat eighth.
