Sits Sunday Hosmer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies. Impact Hosmer will take a seat for the second time in five games, and more frequent off days look to be in his future following the acquisition of Adam Frazier. Though the Padres recently moved an everyday player in Fernando Tatis (shoulder) to the injured list, Jake Cronenworth and Frazier aren't expected to settle in as replacements for the superstar shortstop. Instead, rookie Ha-Seong Kim is expected to be installed as the primary shortstop in Tatis' stead, so Hosmer will continue to vie with Cronenworth for work at first base.
