After the San Diego Padres announced that right fielder Wil Myers would be heading to the disabled list, a corresponding roster move was also announced, as well as tonight’s lineup versus Jon Gray and the dangerous Colorado Rockies.
With Myers out, Cory Spangenberg is moving into left-field and Jose Pirela, on a five-game hitting streak, is going to play in right. Christian Villanueva will get the call again at third base, giving Chase Headley another day off.
Matt Szczur will get the start in centerfield, giving the slumping Manuel Margot a night off and, in turn, giving the lineup a different look altogether.
