Diamondbacks Adjust Lineup for Padres | MLB News

The Diamondbacks aim to bounce back against the Padres in a crucial divisional showdown, but without key players Ketel Marte and Nolan Arenado—both getting rest after heavy workloads. Vargas steps in at second, Tawa at third, and Locklear at first, while Lars Nootbaar leads off for the first time, tasked with boosting on-base numbers. Gabriel Moreno returns behind the plate after family time and hits cleanup as DH, backed by James McCann’s recent power surge. With defensive lapses and inconsistent hitting from their stars, this lineup shuffle could be the spark they need to turn things around.
