Alonso (back) remains out of the lineup Saturday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Make it four straight games out of the lineup for Alonso, who continues to be hampered by back tightness. With another lefty (Brett Anderson) due up for Los Angeles in Sunday's series finale, it would make sense if the Padres held Alonso out again, though there's been nothing to suggest he's worse than day-to-day with the injury.
