Eric Hosmer held out of San Diego lineup Wednesday

San Diego Padres first baseman Eric Hosmer is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against left-hander Tarik Skubal and the Detroit Tigers.

What It Means:

The Padres appear to be giving Hosmer a routine breather. Luke Voit will cover first base and bat cleanup while Manny Machado (ankle) works as the designated hitter. Matt Batten will enter the lineup to play third base and bat ninth.

Voit has a $3,100 salary on Wednesday and numberFire’s models project him for 11.8 FanDuel points. Batten has a $2,000 salary and is projected for 6.0 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Padres’ implied total (3.69) is No. 20 out of 28 active teams Wednesday.
