Chase Headley doubled three times, scored three runs and drove in another in Monday's win over the Rockies. It's the first time a Padres hitter had three two-baggers in a game since August of 2010. Headley is hitting a modest .263, but he has an eight-game hitting streak going, has gone deep twice and has driven in and scored nine runs. He should be a decent corner infield option this season.

Chase Headley hit a grand slam and drew three walks in Sunday's win over the Dodgers. He also stole a base. Headley's first, and thus far only, hit of the season came off Scott Elbert with the Padres leading 4-2 in the eighth inning. Although Headley is perhaps the game's worst No. 3 hitter, he's worth a roster spot in all formats.

Chase Headley singled and launched a solo homer Thursday against the Indians. The Padres third baseman took Ubaldo Jimenez deep in the fourth inning for his second longball this spring. Headley is batting .304 in Cactus League play to go along with a cool 1.038 OPS. He doesn't give you the power numbers fantasy owners desire from the hot corner, but he makes up for it a bit with what could be a nice average and double-digit steals.

The Padres announced Thursday that CEO Jeff Moorad is stepping down. Padres president and COO Tom Garfinkel will take over Moorad's role on an interim basis. Moorad will remain active as the team's chairman and majority owner, and will oversee the Friars' dealings with FOX Sports San Diego. It's a move that shouldn't affect any sort of on-field matters.

Chase Headley (back) reported no setbacks in his Cactus League debut Sunday. "There was no issue," Headley said. "It was as good as I thought it would be. I wasn't concerned but it's always nice to go out there and test it and not have anything there." Manager Bud Black believes Headley's back issue was a one-time occurrence and said the Padres were ''just being cautious'' in the early part of their spring training schedule.

Chase Headley (back) could return to the Padres' lineup in a few days. Headley hasn't played since feeling tightness in his lower back before warmups on Monday. However, the Padres are just being cautious in the early part of the Cactus League schedule.

Chase Headley missed his second straight game Tuesday with a tight lower back. Headley attempted to get loose during stretching Tuesday morning, but his back did not respond well. "I don't think it's anything terribly serious by any means. But where we are right now, there's no reason to push it," said Headley. "I think that we will probably take a day or two and let it calm down, and hopefully I'll be back." The Padres will play it safe for now, but it doesn't sound like a situation which will have an impact on his preparation for the start of the season.

Chase Headley was a late scratch from Monday's Cactus League lineup due to back tightness. The Padres don't seem concerned that it's anything more than mild discomfort. Headley, 27, batted .289 with a .773 OPS, 28 doubles and 44 RBI in 113 games last season for San Diego and makes for a decent fantasy option this year in NL-only and deeper mixed formats.

The Padres and 3B Chase Headley have avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $3.475 million contract. Headley drew a decent amount of trade interest this winter, but the Padres weren't blown away by any one offer. He batted .289 with a .773 OPS in 113 games last season for San Diego while earning a $2.325 million wage and will start at third base again in 2012.

According to Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com, Chase Headley is the Padres' player in most demand. It makes sense given the lack of quality third basemen available in free agency. A trade would be good news for Headley, who has an .805 career OPS on the road compared to a .655 OPS at PETCO Park. Rosenthal's colleague Jon Paul Morosi reported last week that the Tigers are one of the teams who have expressed interest. The Padres are also receiving inquiries about the availability of right-hander Mat Latos, but Headley is the most likely to be moved. The 27-year-old earned $2.325 million in 2011 and is arbitration-eligible for the second time this winter.
