Iglesias (hand) is starting at third base and batting seventh Sunday against the Rockies, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran infielder hasn't been in the lineup since being hit by a pitch on the hand Tuesday, though his absence may not have been due to the injury given he still made two appearances off the bench. Iglesias will fill in at the hot corner Sunday for Manny Machado, who is out of the lineup for the first time in 2025.

Iglesias (hand) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Iglesias was hit in the left hand by a pitch Tuesday, and he'll be held out of the starting nine for a second straight game due to the injury. The 35-year-old is considered day-to-day and could be available off the bench.

Iglesias had X-rays on his left hand come back negative but is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran infielder exited Tuesday's contest after being hit by a pitch, but it appears he's avoided a serious injury. Iglesias said he'll be available off the bench Wednesday and should be considered day-to-day.

Iglesias is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Iglesias will hit the bench while Jake Cronenworth shifts over from shortstop to make his first start at shortstop since the 2022 season. With Xander Bogaerts (foot) out indefinitely, the Padres could prioritize offense over defense by phasing out Iglesias and leaning more heavily on Cronenworth and Luis Arraez in the middle infield, which would open up a regular spot in the lineup for the hot-hitting Gavin Sheets. Iglesias had already sat out the Padres' previous two matchups against right-handed starters, though San Diego went with Mason McCoy rather than Cronenworth at shortstop in both of those contests.

EDGE Analysis

Iglesias has been filling in for Xander Bogaerts (foot) at shortstop recently, but the former will get a day off Tuesday while Mason McCoy starts and bats eighth.

Iglesias will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

With Xander Bogaerts landing on the injured list Friday due to a non-displaced left foot fracture, Iglesias has gained some traction in the San Diego infield. The 35-year-old will pick up his fourth consecutive start Sunday after going 3-for-12 with an RBI and a run scored over the previous three contests.

Iglesias went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Iglesias restored the Padres' lead at 3-1 when he took Robbie Ray deep in the second inning. This was Iglesias' first homer of the year, and it came with the reserve infielder taking a turn at designated hitter. He's now at a .234/.305/.285 slash line with 27 RBI, 23 runs scored, nine doubles and four stolen bases across 265 plate appearances. He's looking at career-low numbers in nearly every area, and he won't get many chances to add to them as a part-time player in a strong offense.

Iglesias is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Iglesias has predictably seen his playing time fall by the wayside since the July 31 trade deadline, when the Padres added three everyday players to the mix in catcher Freddy Fermin, first baseman/designated hitter Ryan O'Hearn and outfielder Ramon Laureano. Since the three new arrivals were all available to play for the Padres beginning Aug. 2, Iglesias has started in just two of eight games.

Iglesias will start at shortstop and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Iglesias has now started in five of the Padres' last six games and has maintained a solid, if unspectacular .278/.333/.361 slash line with three extra-base hits (all doubles), two stolen bases, five runs and one RBI since the All-Star break. Though he's performed well enough to retain a near-everyday spot in the lineup for the time being, Iglesias will be at risk of moving into more of a utility role if the Padres add another impact bat ahead of Thursday's trade deadline.

Iglesias is not in the lineup for Thursday's tilt in St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

After starting four consecutive games (two against lefties, two against righties), Iglesias has now been absent from the lineup for two straight contests. The Padres will roll out Jake Cronenworth at second base in Thursday's series opener.
