Starting in center field againPham will start in center field and lead off for the Padres on Friday.
ImpactPham occupied the same role in San Diego's season-opener Thursday, going 1-for-4 with a HBP. Prior to Opening Day, he last played center field in 2018 as a member of the Rays. Trent Grisham (hamstring) is expected to be the team's regular center fielder this season, so Pham will likely shift over to left field once Grisham is able to return.

Remains on benchKim will sit Friday against the Diamondbacks, just as he did in Thursday's season opener.
ImpactThe Padres gave Kim $28 million in December, suggesting that they saw him as capable of playing a fairly important role at the MLB level. So far, he's found himself on the bench both against lefty Madison Bumgarner and righty Merrill Kelly, a pitcher he squared off against for four seasons in Korea. Kim was expected to battle for at-bats as a utility man with Jake Cronenworth and Jurickson Profar this season, but the Padres will trot out Cronenworth at second base and Profar in left field in both of their first two games. Kim will surely find himself in the lineup eventually, but it doesn't look like he's in line for a significant role right out of the gate.

ImpactThe 27-year-old received the start Opening Day with Austin Nola (finger) sidelined, and Caratini went 2-for-4 with three RBI and one strikeout. Luis Campusano will catch for lefty Blake Snell on Friday.

Not starting FridayPeralta is out of the lineup for Friday's game at San Diego.
ImpactPeralta started Opening Day against the Padres and will receive the day off after going 0-for-5 with one strikeouts. The right-handed hitting Wyatt Mathisen will start in left field and bat eight for Arizona on Friday against left-hander Blake Snell. The left-handed hitting Peralta is not strictly a platoon player, but manager Torey Lovullo has sat him against particularly tough southpaws.
