Finishes homer shy of cycle Andujar went 3-for-5 with a triple, a double, one RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 10-5 win over the Giants.

Impact Andujar saw an eight-game hitting streak end Monday, but he bounced back with his second three-hit effort of the season. While he wasn't able to complete a cycle, Andujar has shown some power with a pair of homers over his last six games. He's been pretty good overall this season, batting .322 with an .869 OPS, two homers, 10 RBI, nine runs scored, seven doubles, two triples and a stolen base over 25 contests. There should be room for Andujar in the lineup as long as his bat stays hot.

Goes yard in win Andujar went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-3 win over the White Sox.

Impact Andujar has hit safely in his last eight games, going 10-for-31 (.323) in that span, which includes both of his homers this season. The 31-year-old is picking up fairly steady time as the designated hitter, though he's also picked up two games at third base and one at first base this season. Through 83 plate appearances, Andujar is batting .316 with an .843 OPS, two homers, nine RBI, eight runs scored and one stolen base. Andujar's primary competition for playing time is Gavin Sheets, though the former has momentum on his side for now.

Idle Tuesday Andujar isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.

Impact Andujar has hit safely in each of his last four starts but will grab a seat on the bench to begin Tuesday's contest. Gavin Sheets will work as San Diego's designated hitter instead, and Ty France will get the nod at first base.

Not in Wednesday's lineup Andujar is not in the Padres' starting lineup against the Rockies on Wednesday.

Impact Andujar has been making good contact at the plate to open the season, with the 31-year-old slashing .308/.345/.423 with one steal and two RBI over 55 plate appearances. He'll be on the bench for the start of Wednesday's contest, with Gavin Sheets serving as the designated hitter and Nick Castellanos filling in at first base.

APRIL 22 • ROTOWIRE

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.

APRIL 17 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact Andujar will ride the bench for a third consecutive game despite posting a .967 OPS with one steal, three doubles and four runs scored across eight games since April 3. Gavin Sheets will serve as the Padres' designated hitter while Ty France starts at first base.

APRIL 15 • ROTOWIRE

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.

APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE

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).

APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE

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.

APRIL 8 • Associated Press

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.

APRIL 6 • ROTOWIRE

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.

APRIL 3 • Associated Press

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.
