Sitting after four straight starts France is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

Impact After striking out in all four of his at-bats in Tuesday's 4-3 loss, France will get a chance to clear his head in the series finale. France had been included in the lineup at first base in each of the Friars' previous four games, with three of those starts coming against right-handed pitching. He looks like he may have the edge over Nick Castellanos for the final opening in San Diego's everyday lineup until the team gets Jake Cronenworth (concussion) back from the 7-day injured list.

Goes yard in Sunday's loss France went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Athletics.

Impact France blasted an opposite-field solo shot in the seventh inning to cut into the deficit, though the Padres were unable to rally for a victory. Sunday marked France's seventh multi-hit effort across 32 appearances in 2026. He hasn't been a staple of San Diego's everyday lineup, but the veteran infielder has been productive when called upon, slashing .279/.311/.535 with five homers, three doubles, two triples, 16 RBI, 10 runs and a stolen base across 90 plate appearances.

Tallies three RBI France went 3-for-4 with three RBI in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Mariners.

Impact France drew the start at first base in Sunday's series finale and punished his former club with three singles that plated three runs as the Padres completed a weekend sweep. The 31-year-old hasn't operated as an everyday player for San Diego this season, but he has been productive when called upon. Across 78 plate appearances, France is slashing .280/.308/.520 with four homers, two doubles, two triples, 14 RBI, nine runs and a stolen base.

Goes deep Saturday France went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a 4-2 win against the Cardinals on Saturday.

Impact France supplied the Padres with their first run on a fifth-inning solo blast. That marked his first long ball since he went deep twice versus Arizona on April 25. France hasn't been getting consistent playing time, and his start Saturday was just his second over San Diego's past six contests. However, the veteran infielder has done well pretty well when called upon, slashing .279/.313/.574 with four home runs, nine runs, 11 RBI and a stolen base through 64 plate appearances.

Last Night in Baseball: MLB's Home Run Leader is an Enigmatic Rookie

Tallies four RBI in win France went 2-for-3 with a double, a triple, four RBI, a run scored, a stolen base and a walk in Monday's win over the Cubs.

Impact France led the Padres' offense, ripping a two-RBI double in the first inning before adding a two-RBI triple in the seventh. The 31-year-old hasn't been a regular in the lineup but has been effective when called upon in 2026, slashing .297/.350/.649 with three homers, two doubles, a triple, seven RBI, seven runs and a stolen base across 40 plate appearances. His continued production should lead to increased playing time, especially if Manny Machado, who exited Monday's contest early with an undisclosed injury, is forced to miss time.

Impact France got the Padres on the board with a solo shot in the fifth inning before adding another in the ninth. It marked his second multi-hit effort of the season and his first two-homer game since 2023. On the year, the 31-year-old is slashing .265/.306/.559 with four extra-base hits, three RBI and six runs scored across just 36 plate appearances.

On bench, but playing time on rise France is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Impact France will head to the bench after he went 6-for-16 with a solo home run, a double and three additional runs while starting at first base in five of the Padres' previous six games. The Padres have an opening in their everyday lineup for one of France, Miguel Andujar and Nick Castellanos, and manager Craig Stammen looks like he could ride the hottest bat of the trio in the short term until one player clearly separates himself from the others.

Trio of hits in win France went 3-for-3 with a double, a home run, two additional runs scored and was hit by a pitch in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Rockies.

Impact France was a difference-maker, reaching base in all four plate appearances, highlighted by his first homer of the campaign in the fourth inning that left the bat at 107.4 mph and traveled 427 feet into the Padres' bullpen. The veteran entered Sunday's contest with just one hit through 12 plate appearances to open the season but is now slashing .286/.375/.571 after his big performance against the Rockies. In his second stint with San Diego, France has primarily been deployed as a platoon bat against left-handed pitching, though Sunday's performance came against right-handers after planned starter Kyle Freeland (shoulder) was a late scratch.
