Sitting out again Thursday Hosmer (illness) isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants.

Late scratch again Hosmer was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Giants with a non-COVID-19 illness, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact It's the third time during the first week of the season the veteran first baseman has been scratched with a non-COVID-19 illness. The specifics of the ailment remain unclear, so it's worth monitoring his status in case it continues to be an ongoing concern. Greg Garcia will enter the lineup at second base for the Friars, shifting Jake Cronenworth to first base.

Scratched from Monday's lineup Hosmer was scratched from Monday's lineup with a non-COVID-19 illness, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact Hosmer was initially slated to start at first base and bat fifth in Monday's series finale against the Diamondbacks, but he'll be scratched for the second time in three games with a non-COVID-19 illness. Wil Myers will take Hosmer's place at first base, batting sixth.

Added to lineup Myers was added to Monday's lineup against the Diamondbacks.
Impact Myers was initially held out of the lineup for Monday's contest, but he'll join the starting nine after Eric Hosmer was scratched with an illness that reportedly isn't related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Myers will bat sixth and start at first base Monday.

Opens scoring Sunday Hosmer (illness) went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Impact Hosmer opened the scoring with a third-inning solo shot off of Arizona starter Zac Gallen. Hosmer was later lifted for a pinch runner in the eighth. The 30-year-old first baseman has already racked up seven RBI in two games this season. He should continue to hold down a near-everyday role in the middle of the Padres' lineup.

Generous in short first start Gallen allowed one run on two hits and five walks while striking out six over four innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Sunday.
Impact Eric Hosmer had a solo home run to account for Gallen's lone blemish on the scoresheet. Gallen wasn't punished harshly for his generosity, but the five free passes were a bit concerning for the 24-year-old. He posted a 4.1 BB/9, a 2.81 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP across 80 innings between the Marlins and Diamondbacks as a rookie in 2019. Gallen will look for better control Friday at home versus the Dodgers.

In Sunday's lineup Hosmer (illness) is starting at first base and batting fifth Sunday against the Diamondbacks.
Impact Hosmer was dealing with a non-coronavirus illness but it was indeed minor and he will miss just one game. Hosmer went 3-for-4 with six RBI in Friday's opener against Arizona.

Late lineup addition France will start at first base and bat fifth Saturday against the Diamondbacks, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.
Impact The 26-year-old was originally stationed on the bench for Saturday's contest, but he'll end up starting at first base with Eric Hosmer a late scratch with a non-COVID-19 illness. France served as the designated hitter Opening Day and went 1-for-4 in the victory.

Scratched with non-COVID illness Hosmer was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Diamondbacks with a non-COVID-19 illness, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.
Impact The 29-year-old was penciled in as the starter at first base, batting fifth, but he'll instead be out of the starting nine. He seems unlikely to be available off the bench, and it's unclear if he's expected to return to action Sunday. Ty France will step into the lineup for the Friars in his place.

Let's game get away Ginkel allowed four runs on three hits and two walks while striking out two over two-thirds of an inning in Friday's 7-2 loss to the Padres.
Impact It was a 3-2 game when Ginkel entered in the seventh inning, but he allowed a three-run double to Eric Hosmer. This is the type of situation -- close game, late innings -- that the Diamondbacks envision for Ginkel, who served this role well during the second half of 2019.

Olson's grand slam in 10th sends Athletics past Angels 7-3
JULY 25, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Loses Arizona debut Bumgarner (0-1) surrendered three runs on four hits and three walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out four in a loss to the Padres on Friday.
Impact Bumgarner's first start as a Diamondback was going fine until the sixth inning. The southpaw allowed a double to Fernando Tatis and walked both Tommy Pham and Jurickson Profar before Eric Hosmer's bases-clearing double ended his night. Bumgarner posted a career-worst 3.90 ERA in 2019 -- he's no longer a top-tier fantasy ace, but fantasy managers will expect better than what he showed Friday. The 30-year-old will next start on the road Wednesday against the Rangers.

Knocks in six runs Hosmer went 3-for-4 with a pair of three-run doubles in Friday's 7-2 win over the Diamondbacks.
Impact Hosmer's sixth-inning double opened a 3-0 lead for the Padres, and he repeated the feat an inning later. He's just the second first baseman to record six RBI on Opening Day in major-league history. Hosmer will need to watch his strikeout count -- he had a career-high 163 whiffs in 2019 -- but his performance Friday is an encouraging sign to start 2020.
