Christian Villanueva (hamstring) a late scratch Monday
by Eric Grant | Mon, Apr 23rd 9:40pm EDT
Christian Villanueva was scratched from the lineup just before the start of the Padres' series opener with the Rockies due to hamstring soreness. Cory Spangenberg is starting at third base in his place, but Villanueva will be available to pinch hit if needed. (Padres on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
Manager Andy Green claims Villanueva's hamstring is "nothing very serious," and will likely only keep him out of the lineup "a day or two." Villanueva will try to extend a current nine-game hitting streak when he returns to the Padres' lineup.
