Spangenberg went 2-for-3 with an RBI and his sixth stolen base of the season in Tuesday's 1-0 win over Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old has quietly been posting useful deep-league numbers since taking over full-time third base duties June 9, batting .297 with three homers and three steals over a 21-game span. He doesn't provide enough thump to serve as a third baseman in fantasy, but his combination of a solid batting average, light pop and light speed put him in the conversation as a middle infielder (in formats where he retained second base eligibility).

Spangenberg is not in the lineup Saturday against the Dodgers, Bob Scanlan of Fox Sports San Diego reports.

EDGE Analysis

Spangenberg will head to the bench for a breather after starting nine straight games for the Padres. Chase d'Arnaud will man the hot corner in his stead.

Spangenberg reached base three times Friday, going 1-for-1 with a pair of walks, a stolen base and a run scored in a 1-0 win over the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Since taking over as the Padres' regular third baseman June 9, Spangenberg has provided a .333 (15-for-45) batting average to go along with three home runs and a steal. The 26-year-old's positional versatility gives him value in deeper formats.

Spangenberg is not in the lineup Monday against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Spangenberg will head to the bench for a breather after starting each of the last nine games for San Diego. Chase d'Arnaud will start at third base in his stead, batting seventh.

Spangenberg went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's extra-inning win over the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old has been flashing some power since taking over for Ryan Schimpf as the Padres' starting third baseman, homering for the third time in six games. The infielder is doing his best impression of the player he replaced in the lineup, carrying a 36.4 percent strikeout rate along with the newfound power stroke since Schimpf's demotion June 9. Spangenberg's batting average is sure to suffer if he continues to be this aggressive at the plate, but a career-high 30.0 hard contact rate over 161 plate appearances this season could be a sign that he has a little more pop than initially anticipated.

Spangenberg went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Sunday's loss to the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

With Ryan Schimpf being demoted to the minors Friday, Spangenberg has stepped up and put together three consecutive multi-hit games, including his first career multi-homer game Sunday. Fantasy owners shouldn't expect this kind of power going forward, but the 26-year-old appears to be hot and can help deep-league fantasy owners as a contact hitter with light power and speed.

Spangenberg started at third Tuesday, going 1-for-4 with a double in a 10-2 loss to Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

The utility man has seen his playing time cut into by a combination of Franchy Cordero and Matt Szczur. Spangenberg is still receiving semi-regular at-bats due to his ability to spell Ryan Schimpf at the hot corner against southpaws, but with just four starts over the Padres' last four games, it is tough to make a case for rostering his pedestrian .244/.266/.311 slash line.

Spangenberg is out of the lineup Sunday against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Spangenberg will sit out for just the second time in the last 14 games, despite batting only .200 during that span. The Padres' lack of healthy outfield options should allow Spangenberg to see steady at-bats for the time being, but he'll give way to Allen Cordoba in left field for the series finale.

Spangenberg is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Spangenberg has settled into regular duties in left field over the last two weeks, but has yet to take full advantage of the opportunity. After going 7-for-35 (.200 average) while starting nine straight games, Spangenberg will take a seat Wednesday, opening up a spot in the lineup for Allen Cordoba.

Spangenberg went 3-for-5 with an RBI and two stolen bases in Monday's 6-5 extra-innings win over the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

The light-hitting Spangenberg is a better real-life player than a fantasy one, and he's given the Padres flexibility as a super-utility player. His best asset is his speed, but he only has three stolen bases on the year after his two-theft night Monday in limited playing time. At best, Spangy provides some speed as middle-infield depth in NL-only setups.
