First career start in outfield Iglesias is starting in left field and batting seventh against the Athletics on Tuesday.

Impact Iglesias has never started in the outfield during his MLB career, so Tuesday will be a first for the 35-year-old. With three of the Padres' possible left fielders on the bench because a lefty is on the mound and Brandon Lockridge starting in center due to Jackson Merill's hamstring injury, the door opened for Iglesias to head to left field.

Padres third baseman Manny Machado leaves game with right calf tightness

Added to Opening Day roster The Padres selected Iglesias' contract from Triple-A El Paso ahead of Thursday's 7-4 win over Atlanta.

Impact Iglesias went unused off the bench in the win, but he secured his spot on the Opening Day roster after beating out Tyler Wade for a utility infield job. The 34-year-old may see occasional starts against left-handed pitching but may otherwise find consistent at-bats difficult to come by while second baseman Jake Cronenworth, third baseman Manny Machado and shortstop Xander Bogaerts are all healthy.

Makes Opening Day roster Iglesias will be a part of the Padres' Opening Day roster Thursday versus Atlanta, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact Iglesias will officially make the team's initial 26-man roster after signing a minor-league deal with San Diego on March 5. The 35-year-old went 5-for-25 with a double, two RBI, a run scored and four strikeouts over 11 games with the Padres this spring. Iglesias will likely operate in a utility role with San Diego to open the season, serving as a backup option to Jake Cronenworth, Manny Machado and Xander Bogaerts in the infield.

Impact He'll be paid $3 million if in the majors, with $1 million more available in incentives. Iglesias had a mini career revival with the Mets last season, hitting .337/.381/.448 in 85 regular-season games.
