As if things couldn’t get off to a worse start for the winless San Diego Padres, they’ll be without Wil Myers, and for the second game in a row, Austin Hedges, who will have the night off as he recovers from back issues.
Chase Headley, who’s been mired in a slump over the Friars’ first four games, will also get the night off.
It figures that on the night Tyson Ross makes his return to the Petco Park pitching mound, he’ll be without three of the team’s starting positional players.
