Eric Hosmer - Heads to benchHosmer will sit Monday against the Dodgers.

ImpactIt's not hard to make the case that Hosmer should sit more frequently going forward. He hit a strong .287/.333/.517 in last year's shortened season but is hitting just .249/.308/.357 with six homers in 66 games so far this year. His resurgence in 2020 was driven in large part by his career-low 46.2 percent groundball rate, but he's gone back to pounding the ball into the ground this season, posting a 57.4 percent mark in that category. Jake Cronenworth will slide to first base in his absence, with Ha-Seong Kim starting at second.

Fernando Tatis Jr. - Back in action MondayTatis (shoulder) is starting at shortstop and batting second Monday against the Dodgers.

ImpactThe 22-year-old sat out Sunday after exiting Saturday's contest with a left shoulder injury, but he'll rejoin the lineup Monday after missing only one game. Tatis has a 1.248 OPS with five homers, three doubles, 11 RBI and 11 runs in his past nine appearances and will attempt to pick up where he left off prior to suffering the injury.

Emilio Pagán - Earns hold in rough outingPagan was credited with the hold against Cincinnati on Sunday despite allowing two runs on two hits and one walk over one inning.

ImpactPagan entered in the eighth inning with the Padres protecting a 3-0 lead. He was tagged for a single and a double and walked one batter, leading to two Reds runs. The right-hander made it out of the inning with San Diego's lead down to one, and Mark Melancon closed out the contest in the ninth to secure the victory. Pagan has struggled in June, posting a 6.23 ERA across 8.2 innings. He remains one of the team's top options in high-leverage situations, however.

Tyler Naquin - Sits against southpawNaquin will sit against lefty J.A. Happ and the Twins on Monday.

ImpactNaquin has only started once against a lefty all season, so it's no surprise to see him hit the bench here, even with an extra lineup spot available under National League rules. Scott Heineman will start in center field.
