MATT BEATY NEWS

Not in Thursday's lineup Beaty isn't starting Thursday's game against the Marlins.

Impact Beaty has gone 1-for-18 with three runs, two walks and a strikeout over his last six games, and he'll take a seat with left-hander Jesus Luzardo on the mound for the Marlins. Trayce Thompson will start in right field and bat ninth.

On bench for Game 2 Beaty is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Guardians.

Impact Beaty will see his streak of six consecutive starts come to an end while he sits in favor of Jose Azocar in the nightcap. He served as San Diego's designated hitter in the team's 5-4 win in Game 1 of the day, going 1-for-4 with a run.

Picks up fifth straight start Beaty will start in right field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Impact With Wil Myers (thumb) on the injured list, Beaty has taken over as the Padres' primary option in right field. He'll make his fifth consecutive start Sunday, despite going 0-for-11 with two walks and two runs in his previous four games.

Filling in for Myers Beaty will start in right field and bat sixth in Thursday's game against the Reds.

Impact After going hitless in four plate appearances during Wednesday's 8-5 win, Beaty will pick up a second straight start in right field in place of the injured Wil Myers (fingers). If Myers' right thumb and index finger end up forcing him to the injured list, the lefty-hitting Beaty would likely occupy the larger side of a platoon in right field.

Second straight start Beaty will start in right field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Impact He'll stick in the starting nine for the second game in a row while top right fielder Wil Myers (thumb) remains on the bench for the third consecutive contest. If Myers' thumb issue results in him landing on the injured list, Beaty could end up settling into a strong-side platoon role in right field with either Jurickson Profar or Jose Azocar.

Sent to San Diego Beaty was traded from the Dodgers to the Padres on Monday in exchange for River Ryan.

Impact Trades between division rivals are rare, but the Dodgers likely don't see Beaty as particularly useful given that they designated him for assignment last week. The Padres have a hole in left field, however, so it's not hard to see Beaty playing a significant role this season, potentially in a platoon with Jurickson Profar. Beaty is coming off a season in which he hit .270/.363/.402 with seven homers in 234 trips to the plate, so he should be able to have at least deep-league relevance if he carves out regular playing time.

Dropped from 40-man roster The Dodgers designated Beaty for assignment Wednesday.

Impact The transaction clears room on the 40-man roster for the newly-signed Hanser Alberto, who effectively replaces Beaty as a utility option off the bench. Though consistent playing time was often difficult to come by for Beaty on a stacked Dodgers roster over the past three seasons, he should face an easier path to earning reps at his next stop, as he's a prime candidate to be traded or claimed off waivers now that he's in DFA limbo. The lefty-hitting Beaty has been particularly effective against opposite-handed pitching; over 493 career plate appearances versus righties, Beaty has slashed .267/.339/.440 (109 wRC+).
