As per AJ Cassavell of MLB.com, Wil Myers is back in the San Diego Padres’ lineup tonight after coming out of Friday’s game and missing Saturday’s game with lower-back stiffness.
Apparently, Myers lost his argument with manager Andy Green to play on Saturday. It’s certainly nice to see him back in the mix tonight. For the Friars to enjoy success this season, they’ll need their big bats in the lineup throughout the season.
Also making his way back into the starting eight tonight is veteran third-baseman, Chase Headley. After going 0-for-4 and leaving a handful of Friars on-base on Opening Day, Cory Spangenberg and Christian Villanueva both got starts in the next two games in favor of Headley.
