ST. LOUIS -- In the midst of his team's most brutal road trip of the season, Padres manager Andy Green wants to make sure the effects don't linger through the remainder of the season.
Green said he plans to give each of his regulars at least one day off during the Padres' 10-game trek through St. Louis, Washington and Toronto in the July heat.
"It's going to be 100 degrees the next couple days here, 100 degrees and over every day in Washington, [10-day] road trip right after the All-Star break," Green said. "It's probably wise to try to find everybody a day down during that stretch to make sure we're not running everybody into the ground early in the second half.
