Coleman agreed to a minor-league deal with the Padres on Thursday which included an invite to spring training.

EDGE Analysis

Coleman spent the 2017 season split between the majors and Triple-A El Paso, but was only a fixture on the big-league team for six weeks in the summer. During 27 appearances with San Diego, he slashed .227/.268/.455 with four home runs and nine RBI. Looking ahead, Coleman could serve in a similar role for this upcoming campaign since the Padres lack depth at the shortstop position, but he shouldn't register on the fantasy radar.

Coleman was outrighted to Triple-A El Paso on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Coleman will head to El Paso after passing through waivers untouched. The 30-year-old is considered one of the Padres' better defensive infielders, but his struggles at the plate (.227/.268/.455 with a 46.5 percent strikeout rate) weren't enough for the Padres to keep him on the 40-man roster. He'll continue to serve as organizational infield depth moving forward.

Coleman was designated for assignment by the Padres on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Coleman was cut from the 40-man roster to open a spot for the contract selection of Christian Villanueva. While Coleman is considered one of the Padres' better defensive infielders, his struggles at the plate (.227/.268/.455 with a 46.5 percent strikeout rate) this season deemed him expendable. He'll take a spin through waivers to determine his next destination.

Coleman was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

He will be back up when rosters expand in September, but the Padres needed immediate bullpen help, so Miguel Diaz was activated from the 60-day DL. Once he is recalled, Coleman should operate as a reserve middle infielder. He hit .227/.268/.455 with four home runs, one steal and an absurd 46.5 percent strikeout rate prior to his demotion.

Coleman is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Coleman will sit out for the second consecutive day with Yangervis Solarte picking up the start at shortstop. Since manager Andy Green likes deploying the versatile Solarte at multiple spots around on the diamond, Coleman should still be in store for a few starts per week, but it looks as though he'll be pushed out of the lineup more often than the rest of the Padres' regular infield options.

Coleman started and went 1-for-3 with a solo home run -- his fourth of the season -- in Friday's 7-1 loss to the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Coleman saw some run as the Padres' everyday shortstop earlier this month, but he has started just two of the club's previous seven games after Yangervis Solarte usurped him on the depth chart. The 30-year-old rookie has seven extra-base hits (.560 slugging percentage) in 53 plate appearances this season, but he has also struck out 24 times without drawing a walk in that span. Barring an injury to one of the Friars' starting infielders, Coleman will continue serving a backup role going forward.

Coleman is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Yangervis Solarte has largely been deployed in a utility role across a number of different positions since being activated from the disabled list July 30, but it looks like he may have overtaken Coleman as the primary option at shortstop. With Coleman stuck in a 1-for-11 slump at the dish that has dropped his on-base percentage below .300 for the season, manager Andy Green will hand Solarte his second straight start at shortstop while Coleman hits the bench.

Coleman is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Coleman is hitless (0-for-9) over his last three starts, so he'll head to the bench to clear his head as Yangervis Solarte takes over at shortstop for the contest.

Coleman is out of the lineup for Thursday's game in Cincinnati, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coleman will get a standard day off following five straight starts, going 7-for-19 with eight strikeouts from the plate during that span. Yangervis Solarte slides over to shortstop for the series finale.

Coleman went 3-for-4 with a double, a two-run homer and a steal Saturday against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Coleman's third bomb of the campaign gave the Pirates a pair of insurance runs in the ninth inning of a road victory. He's only seen at-bats in seven of the 11 games that he's been with the Padres, but otherwise, he's posting an exceptional .333 batting average along with an unsustainable .857 slugging percentage. Fantasy managers who can get him in daily lineups should ride him while he's hot.
