AUSTIN NOLA NEWS

Resting Sunday Nola is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Impact Nola gets a breather after starting behind the plate in both of the past two games, allowing Jason Castro to catch for Dinelson Lamet in the series finale. Since being acquired from the Mariners on Aug. 30, Nola has gotten off to a slow start to his tenure with the Padres, slashing .208/.321/.396 over 14 games.

Flashes power in loss Nola went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Saturday's loss to the Athletics.

Impact Although the Padres were unable to keep up with the Athletics on the scoreboard Saturday, Nola continued his power surge as he now has three extra-base hits over the past two games. The 30-year-old should continue to play behind the dish in San Diego, but his defensive versatility should allow him to move around the infield if needed.

Could play infield Nola has been taking reps at second and third base and could play any of the four infield positions, if needed, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

Impact Nola was acquired from the Mariners on Aug. 30 and has made each of his four starts at catcher since that time. However, he made two starts at first base earlier this season with the Mariners and also switched to third base during one contest. Nola figures to spend most of his time with San Diego at catcher, but his defensive versatility could allow him to get a few more at-bats over the course of the season with both Jason Castro and Luis Campusano (hand) in line for starts behind the plate.

Traded to San Diego Nola was traded from the Mariners to the Padres on Sunday in exchange for catcher Luis Torrens, among others, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Nola is the second catcher that the Padres traded for Sunday, but his defensive versatility throughout the infield should allow him to carve out a role in San Diego. Prior to sitting Sunday, Nola had started in 12 consecutive games for the Mariners and he's hit .306/.373/.531 with five home runs and 19 RBI to begin the season. Joseph Odom could take over as the new starting catcher in Seattle.
